23,000 since 1972 - now that’s a Big Mac attack!

A Fond du Lac, Wisconsin man has eaten 23,000 Big Macs since 1972.

Was he taken in by those “two all-beef patties special sauce” commercials?

He says it was his obsessive-compulsive disorder that made him do it.

Fifty-four-year-old Don Gorske says he hit the milestone last month, continuing a pleasurable obsession that began May 17, 1972 when he got his first car.

Gorske has kept every burger receipt in a box. He says he was always fascinated with numbers, and watching McDonald's track its number of customers motivated him to track his own consumption.

The only day he skipped a Big Mac was the day his mother died, to respect her request.
