Don Gorske once said, “When I like something, I stick with it all the time.” And when one considers the Guinness World Record he holds, that might be the understatement of the century. 

Gorske, a 70-year-old retired prison officer, holds the world record for having eaten the most McDonald's Big Macs at a mind-boggling 34,128. Quick math tells you that is more than one a day. However, that seems like a serious underestimation when you find out he didn’t eat his first until he was 18 years old. His first three Big Macs came May 17, 1972, and soon after, he admittedly ate “nine a day for quite a while.” Don’t believe it? He has all his cartons and receipts and has a running count to prove it. 

Gorske’s wife also said his health is “pretty good” with “exceptional cholesterol,” as he eats little else and walks about six miles a day. Who says you need to have everything in moderation?
