🍔 A Taste of Love at First Bite
Fond du Lac, WI – When Don Gorske from Wisconsin sank his teeth into his first Big Mac back in 1972, little did he know that it would be the beginning of a lifelong romance. “I’m going to probably eat these for the rest of my life,” he thought as he tossed the empty cartons into the back seat of his car, marking the start of his epic burger journey.
🏆 The King of Big Macs
Fast forward to 2024, and Don has earned himself a spot in the Guinness World Records for chomping down a whopping 34,128 Big Macs! That’s right, this 70-year-old has been chowing down on at least one of these iconic burgers every single day for over 50 years. At his peak, he was even putting away nine Big Macs a day! Talk about a serious case of the munchies.
🍟 Skipping the Sides, Walking the Walk
Now, you might be thinking, “How on earth is this guy still kicking after all those burgers?” Well, Don’s got a secret recipe for staying fit while indulging in his favorite food. He skips breakfast, says no to fries and other sides, and walks a mind-boggling six miles every day. Who needs a gym membership when you’ve got a Big Mac habit to keep you moving?
❤️ A Love Story for the Ages
Don’s love for McDonald’s goes way beyond just the food. His local golden arches even has a picture of him proudly displayed on their wall. And get this: he proposed to his wife Mary right there in the restaurant’s parking lot! “She has put up with a lot of obsessive compulsive things I do and hasn’t let my Big Mac thing get to her,” Don once gushed. If that’s not true love, we don’t know what is.
😄 Keeping the Smile on His Face
Despite what the naysayers might think, Don has no plans of slowing down his Big Mac consumption anytime soon. “I plan on eating Big Macs until I die,” he told reporters with a grin. “I have no intention of changing. It’s still my favorite food.” And who can blame him? After all, when you find something that brings you joy day after day, year after year, you hold onto it tight and never let go.
So, the next time you’re biting into a juicy burger, take a moment to think of Don and his unwavering dedication to the almighty Big Mac. Here’s to many more years of delicious happiness! 🍔🎉 PS: I wonder if Don has ever been to Minnesota to try a jucy lucy?
