A man in his 70s who ate 35,000 hamburgers for 53 years has been listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

McDonald's, a global burger brand, ate 660 each year.

According to Guinness World Records, Donald Gorske (71), who lives in Pong du Rock, Wisconsin, ate his 35,000th Big Mac burger on the 15th. As a result, he was recorded as the man who ate the most Big Macs in the world.




His record began on May 17, 1972, when he first ate the Big Mac.

At the time, he said he never got tired of eating nine Big Macs a day.

He has kept receipts and fast food containers containing hamburgers to prove records.




He was so attached that he kept the extra Big Mac in the freezer in case he could not go to the store due to weather conditions such as snowstorms and traffic conditions.

In addition, instead of going every day to save money on gas, I visit the store twice a week to buy a large amount of hamburgers.

As a result, store representatives and employees sometimes call him a regular 'McFamily'.




Wouldn't they have eaten other brands of burgers?

He stressed that `I've tried two burgers, Burger King Whopper in 1984 and Topper Double Burger in 1984, but I couldn't catch up with the Big Mac.'

Even after eating fast food for so long, he is in good health.

According to his wife Mary, he is being tested regularly, and his blood sugar and cholesterol levels are normal.

In addition, he is very active and walks about 10km every day. I don't eat fries when I order burgers.

He asked those who wanted to challenge his record "Don't try".

He said "I had a high metabolism and was in good health, so I could eat Big Mac without gaining much weight. Maybe I was the only one who could eat Big Mac every day without any side effects." "Maybe I will eat Big Mac every day for the rest of my life, but no one else will dare to break the record," he added.
