The American, who is listed in the Guinness Book of Records for the number of McDonald's Big Macs eaten in a lifetime, extended his record by eating another 728 hamburgers in 2023.

The Guinness Book of Records says that Fond du Lac resident Donald Gorske, 70, has eaten 34,128 Big Macs in his lifetime.

Gorske, who kept receipts and packaging from every hamburger he ate, first tried the signature dish on May 17, 1972.

"At that point I said, 'I'm probably going to eat this for the rest of my life.' I threw the boxes in the back seat and started counting them from day one," said the fast food fan.

Gorske, who has held the record since 1999, says his eating preferences have since changed: he used to eat up to nine sandwiches a day, but now he usually limits himself to two.

"People who have watched me eat a Big Mac often comment that I look like I'm eating one for the first time," he said.

Donald is not against trying something new: once, in 1984, he ate a Burger King Whopper, but decided that it was simply not the right option.

"If I like something, I always stick to it," he said.

So, apart from Big Macs, Don doesn't eat anything else.

He skips breakfast, and the only food he eats is a small evening snack, such as ice cream, a fruit bar, or potato chips.

His favorite food used to be lobster, but Don says he last ate lobster more than 28 years ago.

The man also shared that his unusual diet did not harm his health, and he maintains his figure by abstaining from French fries.

"A lot of people thought I was already dead, but instead I've been a record holder for 24 years - one of the longest Guinness World Records holders, so that's pretty cool for me," he boasted.
