Guinness Record Holder Defies Odds With 34,128 Burgers and Daily Walks
Guinness World Record holder Don Gorske, a retired prison officer in his 70s, has eaten 34,128 Big Macs since 17 May 1972, now averaging just under two a day and walking six miles daily. Guinness recognised him for the most Big Macs eaten in a lifetime in 1999, and he documented every burger, preserving receipts and containers.
