Video: American enters Guinness World Records for eating more than 32,000 Big Mac sandwiches

American citizen Don Gorsky broke the record for eating the famous McDonald’s Big Mac sandwich, eating 32,340 sandwiches in nearly 50 years. Don said about his favorite type of burger: “This is the best sandwich in the world.”

Don describes himself as “When something he likes stays with him, I eat two sandwiches a day, which means 14 sandwiches a week.”

As for the reason for his obsession with the sandwich, he said: “My obsession with the Big Mac sandwich is due to my love for hamburgers.”

Don tells the story of how his “obsession” began: “On May 17, 1972, I bought my first car, drove it to McDonald’s, ate my first Big Mac sandwich, and decided at that time that I would eat it for the rest of my life.”

When asked how he calculated how many sandwiches he had eaten, he replied that he kept the cartons after eating, in addition to the invoice attached with the date of purchase.

Don’s wife, Mary Gorsky, said: “Don didn’t tell me about his obsession with Big Macs when we first met. I wasn’t sure it was an obsession, but I confirmed it when he continued to eat Big Macs forever. I’m healthy because I’m very active and walk 6 miles a day.”

Don commented on those who think these sandwiches are unhealthy, saying, “It depends on each individual, I think they are unhealthy for most people because they are a lot to eat, and I only eat two and that’s all I eat for the whole day.”

“The doctor said he was in good health, his blood sugar was normal and his cholesterol level was acceptable,” Mary said.

Don declared that he would “eat Beagles for the rest of his life.”

He joked: “When I die, I want you to count how many sandwiches I ate and write down how many sandwiches it would take to kill you.”
