39 years, 12,250,000 calories and a featured "Super Size Me" role after his first Big Mac attack, Don Gorske bit into his 25,000th McD's burger. Said he of that first, fateful encounter, "It was the best thing I ever ate in my life." The corporation responded, "We’re honored that Don Gorske continues to be a longtime, loyal customer. We look forward to serving him for many years to come." "Who could blame him for being such a fan of the Big Mac? Its twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucelettucecheesepicklesonionsonasesameseedbun are hard to resist!" Read more at WISN |

it's a good thing he tried a big mac instead of cocaine back in 74' I love how it ends with " It's the best thing I ever ate" proving that this guy has no credibility as a food critic, hahahaha.
As per the movie "Super Size Me"....Don Gorske does NOT eat french fries.
Do the DNA analysis, Big Mac's "beef patty's" are made with meat mix of roadkill, zoo animals and human meat. Ya'll are a bunch of cannibals!
Gosh I was one of these people before I discovered how much we are what we eat. One of the reasons why he eats so many of these sandwiches is that there is no nutrition in them, the cells in his body are starved. A healthier diet will be better for everyone.
You're the one who's revolting.
Well, looks like Mr Gorske got good genes from his parents which let him eating 1.77........ Burger each day. I don't know if he exercise regularly but he said he never had any cholesterol issue until now.
If I eat like this, I will be gone. :)
Anyway, Mr Gorske, another Big mac is waiting for you.
enjoy
How do they know he at 25,000? Just because he said so? In that case, I just drank my 2,500,000 can of coke.
sounds like a case of bad health problems,i hope he researched what mcdonalds makes their meat out of ahahahahahahaa.... love the big mac sauce with fries tho.. effff the burgers ....who cares about how many he ate yada yada yaaaaaa
All that money that could have gone to haircuts
That's just sick & wrong. Like my dad buying those HungryMan frozen dinners that boast 5 lbs of food with 6,000 calories, 3,000 grams of fat, & god knows how many carbs lol. I avoid fast food in general, but if I -do- eat it, I head to Sonic. They're pretty yummy
I know this man, he works with my dad, and he is funny as hell. He will eat them until he dies
twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucelettucecheesepicklesonionsonasesameseedbun...lol!
yeah..really hard to resist man..!
"It was the best thing I ever ate in my life." Dude, you need to get out more.
I feel sorry for this guy. If the best thing he's eaten in his life at 57 is a Big Mac. Well, then he hasn't really lived, has he?
I can't even get through one big mac much less 25 thousand.
Really! Since Super Size Me I can't eat a hamburger anymore!
That was 5 minutes of my life I will never get back.....
And this is news?
Common!
If you want to see something you NEED to see then google or youtube this:
"
AMAZING SPEECH BY WAR VETERAN
"
One thang IS for certain! That mother fucker AINT ever got laid.
Dang this article made me hungry! I think I'm gonna go to McD's right now!!!!!!!
How much will it cost taxpayers and health insurers to pay the medical care for this idiot's self-induced clogged arteries and heart disease?
Also, is this something to really brag about, how many Big Macs one has eaten? In a country where 66% of Americans are obese, 25 million Americans have diabetes. High calorie fast food such as Big Macs have given Americans such a high percentage of diabetes.
Well, if you are able to draw the line, and manage not to overeat, you can eat almost anything. It could also be a hoax ofc, although I, myself, choose to believe it.
He doesn't look like he weighs 900 pounds?!
So let's review the score...Some doofus = 25,000 BigMacs, Me = 0. That's right I still never had a Big Mac or a Whopper in my life. I always get the smallest possible burger with the most bread and toppings to reduce the taste of that nasty psuedo-meat product. Or better yet, don't eat burgers!
yeah lady, I p33d in the p00l!
Really CNN? Really???!! Could you get more transparent in your corporate pandering? A news story runs about some people against the Ronald MacDonald clown character and this story just "happens" to pop up? Just how gullible do you think we are? (and how much did they pay you?)
Fryer Tuck called and he wants his hair back
50,000 sheets of toilet paper wasted.
(39 x 365) + 9.75 (Extra days for Leap Years) = 14,244.75 / 25,000 = 1.75503256.... Big Macs per day. Did he really keep track all of these years? After the first one did he say to himself, "I must have this everyday for the rest of my life"? When he missed a day, did he double up the next? How sure is he that it was his 25,000th burger, and not 25,001, or 24,999? The best part about this article is people wonder why America has obesity problems. Looking at him I'd say he doesn't have that problem somehow, but yea. Hate me or love me, idc, just my first thoughts after reading an article of such rarity.
Um, he actually LIKES big macs? Was he born without tastebuds? McD's has the worsrt ground beef on the planet.
Actually, he does have something wrong with his sense of taste. That's part of the reason he eats them – because he can remember what they taste like, and enjoy it.
Read the other articles on the gentleman.
Whip it out...
and whip it good...
His wife must be a horrible cook. *snicker*
Or you could say he saved his poor wife from cooking all the time.
Where's the beef??
In my trousers....
Just so you know this was cooked up (no pun intended) by the McDonalds corporation to boost sales .He didn't actually eat 25,000 Big Macs.100% effective,sales are through the roof.
Hate to break it to him but I've eaten 26,000 Big-Macs and used to work for Mcdonalds as a kid.
Oh YEAH! *hands on hip, sticking out tongue* well, i've had 26,002 big macs... so.... so there!
Hi Vipor.
I luv me sum a dat big mac attack and big schlong a dong.
i HAVENT HAD A BIG MAC IN A WHILE, MAYBE A YEAR, THINK iLL GO GET ONE
mmm caps button sry lol
HERE KITTY KITTY, NOW WHERE'D HE GO...??
Buy one get one free big macs !!! by the time u make it 75% thru the 2nd one you gotta toss the rest or toss your lunch... can I have some fries with that???
ummm, to many of you, it wasnt Jerv at all, it was Richard Gozinya.... and he probly used someones email that he didnt like. so poor Jerv gettin a beating out of all this LOL, poor Bstrd hahaha anyway 39 years of big macs and this guy hasnt croaked yet?
Me want big mac. Me big dum ox.
How much did this ad cost McDonalds. Look for another Apple story next.
man, I think I'm going to puke. The last time I had McDonald's was 9 years prior to the infamous Supersize Me movie. I was at a drive-in in Long Island (yes-there's one left except don't know if it's still there) and when you see a super closeup of a Mickie D's burger on a huuuuge movie screen, trust me when I say, you'll never have McDonald's, Burger King, or any fast food burger ever again.
2 almost beef patties, special sickness, rotting lettuce, food cheese, something green, what could be onions on a processed bread roll.. only thing good is the few sesame seeds.. YUMMY...
too bad there are more mcdonalds stores than there are farmer's markets in neighborhoods. most projects and ghettos and trailer park areas have no stores that sell fresh fruits and vegetables. everything is processed food.
Is he bulimic?? Shouldn't he weigh like 600 Lbs??
Well it seems that some school district has taken it's short-bus kids to the public libraries in town all at once today, let them use the computers and told them to log onto CNN. Either that or somebody has been blowning crack weed smoke through the HVAC system in some office building in downtown Atlanta...
Goes to show you liberal tree huggers what you know, nothing. For years I have been telling people it is all about calories, and it is. You can eat ice cream and lose weight and have perfect cholesterol. This man did what the liberals say was impossible. Liberalism is a mental disorder.
wHEre is the proof?
In dat gold!
In his stomach
Why would you want to eat that many and be proud of it. They are totally disgusting!!!
This freak of nature was no more the "star" of "Super-size Me" than he was the author of "Fast Food Nation," a fascinating book that will convince you to save your life and the lives of your children by NOT EATING McDonald's or subscribing to all their unethical, immoral business practices.
We've been told for decades it's 'what you eat' when it should really be 'it's HOW MUCH you eat'. American portions (especially at restaurants) are completely absurd. Like this guy you should eat what you want, just don't stuff your face like a pig every meal.
The best thing I ever had to eat was a chocolate caramel souffle from Aujourd'Hui in the Boston Four Seasons Hotel.
It's really the Secret Sauce that makes it – you could toss-out all the other stuff and just eat a bowl of Secret Sauce and it would be just as good. Better because there would be no wilted lettuce.
The "secret sauce" is basically russian dressing tweaked. This is purportedly the McD recipe:
1/4 cup salad dressing (like Miracle Whip®)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tbsp French salad dressing
1/2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
1 1/2 tbsp dill pickle relish
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp dried, minced onion
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp ketchup
1/8 tsp salt
Now I can make the Secret Sauce for myself? POWER! I am freed from corporate bondage, no longer dependent on McD's for my fix! I am sauce-liberated! Thank you thank you thank you!
Its not the recipe simply because of "french salad dressing", dressings vary in flavor WILDLY from one brand to the next, and mcdonalds wouldnt be using some premade salad dressing anyways. To get the right flavor we would need to know their recipe for french salad dressing or at the very least the brand of dressing the person used when trying to duplicate it.
Richard Gozinya.. You use one name to post, but use another name for your email.. Talk about RED flags..
Be careful Brunnett girl. This guy could be on some sort of list...
That is disgustipating.
g
12 grams of saturate fat to each Bigmac and 103mg of cholesterol. So he's eaten 12 x 25000 = 300 kilograms of saturated fat and 103mg X 25000 = 2.5 kilograms of cholesterol. They won't even have to embalm him when he finally has a heartattack, because his arteries will already be solid as a rock.
Don't you get it? It's all that stuff that is keeping him alive. He's "pickling" himself.
My question is why no one has brought up the ethical ramifications of such actions... If there is approximately 3.2 oz of beef in every Big Mac, that would equate to about 5,000 POUNDS of beef. That is absolutely inexcusable.
The torture of animals, so that this schmuck can get a burger, is deplorable.
I dearly hope you do not have or plan to have children. Overpopulation is one our biggest issues today and the planet does not need any more of us.
@(Un)Truth, efficient and ecologically sustainable food production is the major problem in the world today. Most of the food consumed in developed countries was produced with too much irrigation, too many pesticides and fertilizers, transported too far, processed and packaged too heavily. That contributes to the buildup of CO2 in our atmosphere, the islands of trash floating in our oceans , the continents of garbage piled anywhere large numbers of people live. Beef is a highly inefficient food source, taking into account energy (feed) taken in vs. food product and by-product produced. Do your research before you spout.
Wah!
How can he eat that rubbish, knowing what he knows about what it does to the body? Is he on their payroll?
Frappachino and a Donut for Breakfast – A Big Mac for Lunch – and 'Fixing Dinner' is a Bucket of KFC and a 2-Liter of Mountain Dew. Our Society has somehow managed to Produce: Diabetes – Obesity – Coronary Heart Disease and MALNUTRITION at the Same Time – REMARKABLE.
That sounds like heaven. Delicious, yummy goodness.
oneSTARman, there is a reason you see so many ads for anti-constipation meds in the USA. Maybe that's why so many people seem to be on edge these days? They need more fiber in their diets.
25,000 Big Mac's ain't shit
Wilt Chamberlain
Haha! Had to look it up but that was prettty good!
Comment of the day right there!
To me it look like a leprechaun to me.
Cuz I got all dat gold! "It looks like a crackhead!"
And at the end of your rainbow, the pot of gold is next to a pile of yummy Big Mac's.
All you got to do is look up in da tree!
LOL @ all you silly trolls, lay off the caffeine. Why the beef? And the biggest troll award goes to CNN for posting this, it caught some whoppers today. And a few cheesy comments. All the personal attacks – Saucy! But why whip a dead horse.
As for the entertainment value of this article – it is amusing.
To the guys doing the math, he said in the original article this was taken from that he skipped nine days of Mickey D's.
Now you're catching on. By the way, you are welcome in the Klatch, I'll vouch for you.
I was wondering, Shirley, did you ever meet Kat and SLT?
You forgot to mention what a pickle this thread puts you in.
Good use of references to the Mac ingrediants! :)
It's not horse meat, Shirley. McDonalds has sued for less.
SO SAD – To think of a LIFETIME – DEVOID of the beautiful Colors and Flavors and Aromas of all the Bounty of Food that this Good Earth provides. SO SAD to think that this Poor Devil is simply an extreme example of SO MUCH of America. We are so BLESSED as to have Available to US Food any time of the Year that Only KINGS could have eaten a few Generations ago. And yet MOST of US subsist on INDUSTRIAL WASTE.
Gotta give it to him for being consistent. I haven't had a Big Mac in months, but articles like this sure brings on the Mac Attack. So, there's probably one in my future, sometime later this month. I'll eat it in honor of the 25k.
I guess the guy likes bread, lettuce, and thousand island. That's all I taste when I have one.
25,000 Big Macs! Of course, that doesn't count the 10,000 Burger King Whoppers and 5,000 double stacks from Wendy's that he snacked in between.
Gimmie da gold!
I got all dat gold! Gimme dat gold!
wow that is a lot of Big Mac's. This guy must work out everyday to stay skinny eating all that Mickey D's
nope it's his genetics
The math concern isn't how many he ate in a day .. it's calculating how much time he has left...
I eat at McDonalds and enjoy it, but the one and only time I tried a Big Mac I about vomited. There was something about that sandwich that just wasn't right. So I'll stick to my Double Quarter with cheese standby.
Hmm, this explains why the Rainforests in Brazil were cleared away for cattle!
So, this explains why the Rainforests in Brazil were cleared away for cattle!

Cattle? have you seen many rats in your neighborhood lately?
Who has killed more Americans:

@meat pipe way to turn that one around.
Wait are you the shitbird eating all the hamburgers?
...and then dies
Well, they're not for me....I'd rather eat a hot dog from TED'S!
Go right ahead, eat your boca and veggie burgers – do you know they are toxic? That they contain a hazardous chemical called hexane?
I've never seen a chili-bowl mullet before. Fascinating.
Lesson of the day: Do something incredibly stupid long enough and you'll be on CNN
What about the days he was violently ill with the flu. Did he still eat the Big Mac on days his entrails were being purged? Does it count if he eats it and pukes it back up?
SIOMETHING TO BE REALLY REALLY PROUD OF!!!!!! RIGHT????!!!!!! Fantastic goal setting for our FAT KIDS!!!
My kids aren't fat. They know it's disgusting non food. All you have to do is teach them..there's a concept..teach your kids.
I read every comment on this thread. Now who's bored.
Vito -– bored! are you kidding! you should be in a comma by now.
.... or at best, an explanation point.
...or bathing in a nice question mark....
.... as long as it doesn't involve any periods.
...while trying to date Mr. Ampersand
... who had issues with his colon
...and did not know how to #.
... because he was > the average %-tile and that put him in ?
wow. i love big macs i love this website too ck it out buyandsellwwii dot com i think you will enjoy looking at while eating a big mac
This dude smells of rank uncooked beef. At the end of the video they say his DNA is actually transforming into that of the Big Mac itself. Supposedly in 10 years he will become a Big Mac.
It's really sad that people think they have to do this to get attention. It is going to catch up to him someday and he will have health problems because of it. PS Not a GOOD way to get attention!!
Big Macs are awesome if you substitute the mystery beef for Boca burgers!
Thanks! I was getting hungry with still a half hour until lunch. Then I saw your comment, threw up in my mouth a little, and swallowed it down. I tricked my body!
I got dat gold and none of the nasty Boca burgers! Yuck!
Here's a formula for ya:
A guy whose best meal was a BigMac / A guys who counts the amount of hamburgers he's had = a total douchebag
Super-sized Big Mac for lunch. Mr. Gorske, I salute you!
I bet his farts smell really bad, like a lion's.
I bet he is constantly gaseous.
Gimmie dat sh!t!
they need to make hamburgers with all the left over meat sitting in his colon, do a story on that.... I am sure they would cover that on CNN.
And you have had the pleasure of smelling a lions farts??
I love that the name of the nutritionist interviewed in the video is Janine "BAMBERGER"
HEY MR STUPID WHEN YOU DROP DEAD FROM A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK NO DOUBT YOUR FAMILY WILL SUE MICKY DEES FOR GIVING YOU THEIR CRAPPY FOOD......RIP
Right after I sue you for being an ignorant typist.
Sorry for the typos. Sneaking in a post from work. :/
I like Big Mac's and I like Turtles.
Obviously the special sauce contributes to extensive sideburn growth when ingested in excess, but it's a small price to pay for this heart-stopping delicacy.
(I'm shocked at how then the guy is, however. Seems exceleent metabolices are in his genes.)
Now they need to show the million of Americans that are overweight from years of eating this processed crap on a bun, One guy with good genes & McDonalads is all over this press money shot... It's so sad to see people eating like this, it's so sad people are brainwashed in to thinking this is food. I stopped eating fast food years ago and have never looked back.... McDonalads, Burger KIng, Wendy's.... this stuff has killed the food industry in amarica, think about it there is no way I should be able to buy a burger cheaper then a head of lettuce??? this is not meat people.... years and years of this crap has made good food hard to come by. I wish we would stop promoting this crap.
I gots to agree with 'ya. Give me some Wienerschnitzel hot dogs and I'm in heaven. To hell with those greasy burgers.
Super-sized Big Mac for lunch. Mr. Gorske, I salute you!
There are so many factor contrinuting to obeasity, poor healt, outside of one's diet. Stress, lack of sleep, lack of exercise, genetic condition and so on. Your comment does not take that into account. The guy is skinny, but what we don't know is exactlly how healthy he is or is not. Just there could be a large person that could actually be healthier than a skinny person. You cannot tell how healthy an individual is by simply looking at them.
His farts probably smell like special sauce.
I'll have a Big Mac every now and then, when I get a hankerin' (and yes, I EAT the fries!). I'm just wondering if 9 a day is what causes that hairstyle?
And for all those that are arguing the health implications of eating a hamburger a day, Dave Thomas has been doing it for years and it hasn't killed him yet. I say it's fine, go ahead.
I commend this guy for sticking to it for so long. You would think by, like the 5th year, he'd get tired of eating them every day...........
The things that get recognized and lauded in this country....remarkable...our democracy really has become an Idiocracy.
I'm going to guess that you are one of those things that gets recognized and lauded.
It would only be an idiocracy if we focused on the accomplishments (or lack thereof) on the part of trolls like you.......
If I were him, I'd kick my barber in the balls 25,000 times.
Whenever there's a Mcdonald's article, the scummiest dirtbags crawl out of the porn infested corners of the internet to post it seems.
The porn connoisseurs are actually over at the olive oil thread.
Homer Simpson butters his bacon.
He then bacons his sausage.
Then he hides it in a pink taco.
25,000 Big Macs / CLEAR
Too bad heart disease will kick in soon =(
BURP ! !
The doctor's name was Bamberger?
Looking attractive/skinny Healhty, but folks like to believe that they can tell who's healthy by looking at them.
I don't think I've even had 25 of ANY fast-food menu item except maybe drinks, fries or ice-cream (Dairy Queen™) from ANY fast-food restaurant in my life and I am 43yrs old. (That includes Pizza)
Thank you. We don't care.
get a life!
I've never been in a McDonalds
Now I want one. Haven't had a good Big Mac in years. Just wish they used bigger beef patties.
i know a guy like this. he probably is a math whiz. autistic? aspergers? ocd? i would bet money when he says 25,000, he means 25,000.
i actually like big macs.
I'm sorry but this guy has a mental problem. He's not crazy or anything – but eating the exact same meal over and over is a form of compulsive behavior.
He says "It's the best thing I've ever had in my life". Really? I mean – has this guy ever eaten a really good steak? And even if you prefer burgers, why not try a Wendy's burger? Or flame broiled Burger King? Perhaps the specific smell of the Big Mac helps him relive his time as a 17 year old over and over again.
But whatever the reason – this is clearly a compulsive disorder.
If you read the article from yesterday, he does have OCD. He collects receipts, and boxes from them too.
If liking the same food daily is his biggest sin, he probably is doing ok. Not sure I would want to be his spouse though. OCD/Asperger's folks can be difficult to live with.
Wow, he's not African American – shocker
huh? you mean the brothers like big macs? hmmm I love a good stereotype but I don't think that's accurate.
What an amazing story, I mean, haircut.
I know. Holy Balls.
why do people spend so much money on this garbage sooner or later mc donalds will be bankrupt because every on will be so dam fat that no one will buy there food!
I would gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today.
I wonder who will plant an article when he dies.
Gross. Just gross in every respect.
Indeed.
But enough about you...
ooo-clever retort.
If they would just leave the damn pickles off, the Big Mac ain't half bad.
That's 490 x 2 = 980 calories a day just in Big Macs... I'd like to see his liver functions and triglyceride levels... Walking heart attack even if his BMI is low...
i absolutely agree. just cheking his cholesterol is not enough, he is walking time bomb. who knows what is in there..
would hate to be his date! is this seriously something to celebrate?
that's around $175,000 he wasted on McDonalds. And we wonder why other countries laugh at us.
So, big Macs cost $7? And they were that much 39 years ago?
most of the time, the big mac is on sale if you shop smart. here the past year, you can buy 2 for $4 after 4pm. even back in the day, there were always coupons he could have hoarded. also the big mac cost varies state to state, country to country. your figure is not accurate.
How about you just #%@$ing shut up?
this achievement is so great that his family must be very happy and proud. the kids are going to make a statue on the porch to remember forever on the achievements and help humanity.LOSER
Fat, sugar, salt... what's not to like? And yet look how slim he is. I bet he is bulimic. After each BigMac, he's off to the bathroom to yurk.
Love those Big Macs!! I take the middle bread out. Yummy.
I take the top off and flip the middle over. And xtra Mac sause, please!
eventually it will catch up to him. people have no respect for their bodies now day, and bad nutrition will show up in his old age if not sooner.
More power to this guy but I would feel SO gross. There are days when all I'll eat is fast food because I'm running around between various sports and whatnot and I just feel disgusting at the end of the day. Hopefully he throws some carrot sticks in there or something.
Otherwise, like Joey Tribiani once said, "Uh oh... Here come the meat sweats!"
Please do NOT quote anything from Friends....especially from Joey....same goes for phoebe too.
Who bloody he!! do you think you are to dictate to anyone? Arrogant pr!ck.
I *HIGHLY* doubt he accurately kept track of all the Big Macs he ate. I'm pretty sure he didn't decide to keep track the first time he ever ate one.
which makes it even more incredible.....he probably ate more than 25,000...those are just the documented ones.....
"We honored him with a coupon for free angioplasty."
I find it hard to believe that he's been counting the number of big macs he's eaten since his first one, which had to be in childhood. I don't care if he has ocd. It doesn't add up to me. Obviously I could be wrong, but I would need to be convinced.
What a looser! When we start counting our (every bite) obsession with unhealthy food you know we are doomed!
Why would you document how many you ate of anything? Someone needs a life, but then again, they are good
The real question is how often has he gotten laid in those 39 years....The guy looks like he fell off the trashy redneck delivery truck.
He has OCD, people. He isn't worried about the nutritional value of the food. It's an obsessive compulsion.
P.S. he claims to have receipts for every burger purchased.
The nutritionist's name is Bamberger...
Does anyone know how I can send a link of this story to Michelle Obama? Thank you in advance.
At least they ere not made of Pork,or they would lose a customer.
"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today..."
I wonder what's worse - the fact that he ate 25000 big macs, or the fact that he kept track of all of them.
thats like $26,000 spent on big macs. LMAO
Can't wait until the vegans get a wind of the Big Mac story. People are such dumb azzes. Don't they even watch the clip before they post? "Where's the 9 from where's the 9 from?" LMAO!
Actually, I'm surprised. Mostly it's just people shocked that a guy that can eat that many big macs is still alive. Frankly, I'm one of them.
Whoppers are better anyway.
If you eat the exact same thing every day wouldn"t you get tired of it after awhile? I would..
Unless it was bacon... yes.
I eat pussy every day and never get sick of it .
you're a pig.
Probably very few calories in it too.
Eat pussy daily. Whatr kind of stupid ass are you to tell people what you do. This site is even more stupid to allow you to type SMUT. Hope you get throat or tongue cancer from eating infected pussy.
...more like 1.8 a day
I have never understood what compels a human being to consume fast food.
Its not hard to figure out. Its called fast food. Food that comes to you fast. You dont see how that appeals to some people?
Because it's easy. That being said, I'd be burned out by any food if I ate it that often. But good for this guy, his health checks out okay, go figure.
"Compels?" Like it's an uncontrollable urge? Take your snobbery somewhere else.
I can make a sandwich in under a minute. It tastes better, is healthier, and costs less. It isn't snobbery it is merely confusion.
Get off your high horse and go grab some. You'll see.
I got dat gold and all da Big Makz!
Do you have ANYthing postitive to say? Go eat a bigmac and STFU!
Well, it may not be on the same level as negotiating world peace, curing hunger or watching every episode of Gilligan's Island, but I guess shoving 25,000 hamburgers down your gullet is a worthy life's goal for someone.
Congratulations! It's all downhill from here.
If you are going to kill yourself eating unhealthy food at least eat something that tastes good. I mean shoot eat a whole pack of bacon a day or something.
I would eat 1.755 pies a day, cause I love pie.
Why not eat 3.14159 pies a day?
My only suggestion to Mcdonald's is to change the name to "Small Mac," 'coz the size of the burger is really small.
Totally agree. Change the Big Breakfast to Small Breakfast too.
IMDB lists 15 of the actors in "Super Size Me", Gorske isn't among them. The "star" of the show gets no billing? Or is it more like CNN/McDonalds doing a little creative word play to boost McDonalds image, as Gorske, the man who eats McDonalds daily puts McD in a better light than the actual star of the documentary, Morgan Spurlock, who made the movie to prove the point that eating McD too often would result in negative health effects.
Did you watch Supersize Me? This guy IS in it. He doesn't have a starring role (and it's a documentary), but he does appear for about 5-10 minutes.
DOCUMENTARY = NO ACTORS
In theory. But not in the case of Supersize Me. Liars I guess would be a better word.
They should renamed their BIG MAC to TINY MAC. Nowadays, the big Mac has so little stuff in it and it is ridiculous smaller comparing it with the picture on ad. So should they also rename Big Breakfast to Tiny Breakfast.
It's the same size it's been from the first day it was sold. People have just become pigs and other burgers have gotten bigger and bigger.
That's funny, if you go to the Wikipedia page, and the IMDB page for the documentary "Super Size Me", Gorske isn't even mentioned. His roll in the film must have been incredibly small for him not to have made the credits. The link to this article on CNNs homepage claims Gorske is the movie's star... which he isn't. Odd.
He had a roll? I thought they only served fries. ;)
Haha! Too funny!
He ate 25000 BIG MACS. Jesus, what else do you want from the guy?
Wow... I wish I could eat garbage like that every day and stay thin. What's his secret? Does he eat NOTHING ELSE aside from that 560-1120 calories per day? If so, then it makes sense. If not, it must have something to do with his metabolic rate being higher than yours and mine. If I had a metabolism like that, I wouldn't waste it on McDonald's. I'd at least be eating decent burgers...you know, where the ground beef is mixed with bacon before grilling so the whole thing is dripping with bacon fat. That's they used to grill 'em at Tookie's in Seabrook, TX... Dammit Ike, why'd you have to take out my favorite burger joint??!
oh and just for the record... it was just one burger they made that was dripping with bacon fat... "the Squealer." The rest of them were all beef and hella awesome. Thank goodness we still know how to make burgers 10x better down here than anywhere else in the country. haha
This guy needs a life!
Ya think?
What worse? Someone that needs a life? Or someone that reads an article and then comments on that person who needs a life?
LOL
So your the one who keeps breaking all the toilet seats.
Does my fat ass make my ass look fat?
For 9 per day, it would mean that he only ate them on weekends, with the occasional break in between.
Otherwise, it's about 1.75 per day as the previous posters mentioned. 2 per day can be manageable for most active men if they eat healthier items, like veggies, during the rest of the day. If he had a combo, it would be about 1,130 calories. Times 1.76 combos per day, that's about 2,000 calories. He would need to round out the rest of the day with a lot of veggies that don't have many calories.
If he only had one combo plus an extra big mac, he would be consuming 1,540 calories. I think he could still keep a 2,000 calorie diet if he ate healthy the rest of the day. So, it's plausible for him to eat that way for 39 years and not be morbidly obese.
But anyway, had no one even questioned the proof that he's had a big mac or two every day for the past 39 years?
After reviewing the video again, he did start off at 9 a day, and 39 years ago, they were quite cheap so I think even a teenager could afford them.
Still, where's the evidence that he ate that many over the past 39 years?
I just go for the toys..to hell with the burgers.
I go there every day for coffee. It's awesome!
9/day?? Don't feed the trolls Big Macs.
Oh, and he said he hardly ever eats the fries.
love the hair!!
Yes – the hair – he must eat Big Macs because his only bowl is full of hair clippings.
He doesn't look too big. I wonder if he exercises a lot. Or if he eats anything else throughout the day besides fruit and vegetables.
He's lying, let's see the receipts...!
You must be one of those people who wouldn't believe Obama was born in the US unless you see his live birth video. I am pretty sure at this point it is all verified that he did eat 25,000 burgers.
Do you also believe the Canadians are lying about eating horsemeat?
Gotta love the people that dont bother to pay attention. Jerv got the #9 because the interview stated he used to eat 9 a day but now eats 1 or 2 a day
Thanks!
He said his "trick" to not getting fat from it, is refraining from the french fries.... at least that is what I remember from watching Super Size Me.
Just because you're not fat, doesn't mean it's not affecting other areas of your health (saturated fat and cholesterol levels).
I have never eaten a Big Mac and I never will.
I love lamp
It says 9 a day on the video....
He probably didn't eat 9 every single day, people. That would have been pretty hard for a 17-year-old to maintain, unless his family had money and didn't care how he spent it. I imagine it was more along the lines of when he ate big macs, he'd eat nine a day. Even now, I'm willing to bet that two a day is an approximation. It's likely he skips a day every so often.
But I agree. I don't actually like any of McD's hamburgers. They have excellent chicken nuggets, but their burgers leave a lot to be desired.
Agreed! Too much onion on the burgers, imho. And the quarter pounder is now off the muen out here. They always serve with cheese.
You can't eat cheese, Truth? (Or don't like it?)
I don't know what it is, but if I want a fast food burger, I'd much rather grab on from one of the other chains.
I don't mind cheese, but I am kind of a burger purist...a little salt and pepper, maybe some blackening seasonings, and ketchup but not much else.
I agree with that! That's actually why I eat fast food burgers with cheese. To disguise the sub-par flavor of the meat. The best burgers I've had was when we had a meat grinder (it broke). I used to get steaks and grind them into hamburger fresh, and cook them rare to medium rare. Some lightly grilled mushrooms and onions to top it off, and I couldn't ask for any better. I get some hardcore cravings for those burgers every so often. I really do need to get another meat grinder.
read another article on this. He has OCD and he also kept every receipt which is how they counted the 25,000. He said he usually eats 2 a day. His cholesterol is also low (155).
You'd have to be OCD to eat more than 3 big macs a year.
Once your cholesterol passes 120, doctors worry. So, 155? Yeah, not so sure that's low. What this guy does is ridiculously nauseating.
Actually they start to "worry" when you get close to borderline high which is 200.
Anything over 100 is considered high. Mine is 150 and the doctor wants me to bring it down. I have a relative whose cholesterol is 600, he was sent to the emergency room.
For those hating on this guys math, maybe you should listen more carefully. He says that he STARTED off eating nine a day and now has cut back to one or two. Listen much?
Thank you Joe.
If you watch Super Size Me, Don NEVER eats the fries or drinks the soda. This is amazing! lol
It's amazing in a "How could somebody lead such a pathetic existence", kind of way.
He looks a bit like john Lennon !
Imagine there's no ketchup.
It's easy if you try.
Nothing on your burger,
Nothing on your fries.
Imagine in the sesame seeds living life in peace heee-heee
You could sayyy I've eaten Big Macs in the toilet ... But Im not the only one....
An ugly, less talented version of John Lennon, maybe.
I wached the movie – he would eat one or two at each sitting. Sometimes he ate there twice a day so would eat as many as 3 in a day. He did claim to eat their pretty much everyday but never (or very rarely) ate the fries. Then again it was just a movie so who knows.
He's not even fat.
Maybe that's all he eats. Whatever his goal is, it's not a healthy strategy. He probably reeks of cheap beef, too.
and cheap beer.
Some people wont' get fat no matter what they eat. Some people would blow up like a blimp from eating a carrot.
Don't forget about the extra 20 or so days for leap years. :)
I think that's about 10 days for leap years.
So leap-year, in your world leap-year comes around every two years.................... LOL :-)
I don't know how anyone can eat those things. They taste terrible.
Quite the diverse man he is. Perhaps he should live a little and experience all that is life and food before he dies.
How this man is still alive after eating 25,000 Big Macs is amazing. "Super Size Me" is one of my favorite movies, and Mr. Gorske doesn't look to be much more than 200 lbs. I wish I had his metabolism. If I'm not mistaken, he eats at least 2 a day, and the only two days he didn't eat a Big Mac over the past 39 years was during a major storm when he couldn't get there, and the day of his mothers funeral (she had requested he not eat a Big Mac). At least he's passionate about something. Hope he stays healthy.
You can eat big Macs everyday and still be an average weight, it’s all down to calories. Now that would not be by far the healthiest choice, but if you ate around 2200 total calories with you nasty Mac included, then you would maintain weight.
Weight and health aren't always correlated. Big Macs and low-quality, nutrient-poor calories like it are bad for you no matter how you look at it.
and still nobody has commented on this dude's Hair.
why is that surprising? its mostly lettuce and bread, he probably eats healthier than most americans.
It may average to 1.7 a day, but there are days when he would eat 6 or more... and he has some frozen to keep the streak alive if he can't make it to the store. The answer to how he stays so thin and healthy, is that he walks to the McDonalds 5 miles from his house.
"Super Size Me" was a fraud. To gain the weight he did in the amount of time he did it, it is scientific fact that he would have had to be eating about 5,000 calories per day, and he was nowhere near that according to what he claimed. He was refused to release his logs that tell what he actually ate. There was a response documentary made where a guy lost weight and improved his lipid profile while eating nothing but McDonalds. He just got diet drinks, didn't eat fries, and kept his calories to around 2000 per day.
DISGUSTING
Well, there's plenty of tofu in the STFU cafe, and your table is ready for immediate seating.
I know what s.t.f.u. means. What does t.o.f.u. mean? Total Offal; Food Unpalatable?
Tofu, as in the vegan food source...
LOL @ Truth
lol!
Make sure to wash that STFU cake down with a nice tall glass of pwned juice.
Math Much? That's less than 2 a day. Or, to be specific, 1.7562346329469317140850017562346 per day.
Everyone who's been smart enough to mention or attempt to calculate leap years has done it incorrectly. Completely forgetting that leap years don't occur every 365.25 days, but less frequently (e.g. no leap year in 2000). His average per day is much closer to 1.755124965... I'm not going to be bold enough to say that's exact, but it's the most right answer so far, considering there were only 14,244 days (not 14,244.75 as per previous estimates).
How could one accurately count all the Bic Macs eaten in a span of 39 years ? It has to be an approximation .
He kept all of his receipts. I work with this guys brother-in-law.
Spruill?
OMG you fool, does it really matter ????????
Never had a big mac in all my life, but hey, if it is your thing, then go for it.
"You do your thing, I'll do mine." – Montgomery Gentry
I'm with you there. Never had one.
You're not missing much. They're kinda foul. I used to like them when I was a kid but I tried one again for the first time in YEARS and BLEH!
agreed....I live for the BK whopper....way better and flame broiled.NICE
3AM and drunk – nothing better; stone cold sober – nothing worse.
it's actually 1.75/day. how did you come up with 9/day?
Watch the video. He started at 9/day and went to 1 or 2.
Watch the video idiot!
yeah right, solid numbers, he ate 2 a day for 39 years straight, typical wanker journalism, same as National Enquirer back in the day
That actually adds up to about 1.75 a day
Wow! I wonder if he ever had fries with it, or if he just ate Big Macs
He said in Super Size Me that he rarely has fries. He just goes for the Big Mac.
9 a day!?
It's a little less than 2 a day....
39*365=14235. 25000/14235 = 1.756 burgers a day
Thank you for bringing some actual math back to this... How did that guy get nine?
He started out in 1972 eating 9 a day and backed it down to 1 or 2 a day, according to the video.
New brunette , if you watch the video they said he started years ago eating nine a day . How cute are you ? Send me a pic . Maybe we can hook up !!!!!! I love brunettes . e-mail me jakemorrison@ymail.com
yes, that's how I eat mines, I'll buy two at a time and eat 1 and 3 /4 of the other and not eat the last quarter.
that's also the exact number of children I would like to have, just 1.75456515315315. I guess I'll have to do a little trimming on the second one to get him or her to .754564652313513515.
What's more impressive is how much this guy spent: around $50,000. Now try to figure out that math.
@Jerv what an epic douch bag......hitting on chicks in a cnn forumn.....get a life.
maybe you should change your name from Jerv to Perv
Lost me on that one buddy. I ain't hittin' on no chicks here.
"Jerv to perv." LOL! Folks always go for the oh so stunning obvious. Come on, you can do better than that.
My apologies Jerv the perv, I meant Richard or "Dick"
You didn't account for leap years in that formula :)
Jimbo- don't forget the leap years. Should be 365.25 in your calculation. Luckily we haven't passed a year that is divisible equally by 100 but not by 400 or it would make things even more complicated. LOL.
ur an idiot blow job daddy.
Math is a little off. It should be:
39*365.25=14244.75 (days). 25000/14244.75 = 1.755+ burgers a day.
Your math is not correct, you forgot to account for leap years.
Joel is correct, there are exactly 14,245 days from the day he ate his first to his claimed 25,000th (including May 17th).
Your math is off, you forgot about leap year so 365.25 X 39 = 142.447.5 25,000 / 142.447.5 = 1.755 per day !
No, you forgot about who gives a flying f**k how many d@mn Big Mac's he ate everyday.
You left out leap years....
For all of ya'll that DO NOT get Richard Gozinya's name wordplay... I suggest you look closer, much closer. His perverted post is par for the course for his name...
Lets see... Richard=Dick... Gozinya... Well... Goes in ya? Get it? Ya'll have all been had by him I'm sad to say.
We got Richard Gozinya – "Dick Goes In You". We got it back in the 7th grade. Just because we were ignoring his tinyness doesn't mean we don't get it – it means we don't wish to acknowledge his existence.
these have been he most entertaining comments ever! good job everyone!
jervthepervdefender , you are a jack-off
I bet you won a lot of prizes for originality, didn't you. You probably get up in the mornings look at yourself in the mirror and say "winning.".
Who cares*This guy's a Moron = Dumb@ss
Dumb@ss*Too much time = Horrible Addiction to Big Mac
(Horrible Addiction*Lazy)/McFlurry = Dead Man
Any questions..?
Invest $3, go to corner store and buy a calculator....
CNN advertising for mcdonalds now?
This whole article reads like an ad.
and like im gonna waste my time watching the video -_-
But yet, you care enough to leave a comment. I think you are our resident Blog Stooge of the day.
Yet you just wasted precious time commenting on the story...I think Fox News has an opening over there, run along now.
Sounds like somebody hasn't had their balls sucked in quite a while...
Please eat my Super-Sized McDonger meal,and Yes,You can squeeze my BUNS!
Hi, Im Chris Hansen with dateline NBC, why don't you take a seat over there Jerv?
If one Big Mac is a major part of calorie intake for a day...you can do it. I think this guy only had a banana and a (sandwich?) the day before he made the video. Obviously, he's not overweight. It's your total intake that's it mportant. Most of us take in a lot more. Did you see the Red Lobster ad before the video? How many calories there?

Fail at math much?
"Who could blame him for being such a fan of the Big Mac? Its twoallbeefpattiesspecialsaucelettucecheesepicklesonionsonasesameseedbun are hard to resist!" I love burgers, and I've never had a problem resisting a big Mac. In fact, I prefer the double-quarter pounder with cheese to the Big Mac, and that's if I even stop at a McDonald's, which is less than once a month.
