Two All Beef Patties, Special Sauce, Lettuce, Cheese, Pickles, Onion On A Sesame Seed Bun

I read an interesting article today.  It seems a guy up in Fon du Lac, Wisconsin just ate his 25,000th Big Mac yesterday.  Yes, 25,000.  There's nothing to go on except the word of Don Gorske, age 58, so we will take him at his word that he has eaten 25,000 Big Macs. 

Don had his first Big Mac in April of 1967.  He went to McDonald's on his way home from buying his first car, and bought a Big Mac.  He liked it so much that he ended up buying nine that day.  Now, one of the first things people would probably assume is that Don is in horrible shape.  He's 6 feet tall, very lean, and his cholesterol is in the good range. You can't ask more than that.  He's said he usually eats two Big Macs a day, but on occasion has eaten up to nine in one day.  In addition to keeping track of how many Big Macs he's eaten, Don has also kept track of how many bites it takes to eat one; his average is 16 bites.

I did some quick research, and discovered that if you stacked 3,374 Big Macs one on top of each other, the height would equal that of the Eiffel Tower. So to put this in perspective, Don has eaten almost seven and a half Eiffel Towers worth of Big Macs.  That's a lot of special sauce.
