"Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun." One man in particular really took that jingle to heart.
23,000. To have eaten twenty three thousand of anything would be a feat, but to have eaten that number of Big Mac's over the course of 36 years is a phenomenal record. I think it's easy to enjoy the simple pleasure of a Big Mac now and again, but to consider the highlight of my day every day? More power to Don Gorske. I suppose that his taste buds are built a little bit differently than mine, that's all. So here's to the man who is both a dedicated McDonald's customer and an avid eater of one the great pop cultural burgers of all time! After reading that article I think I'll run out and grab one, too!

And a bit of a story about the "jingle" culled from Wikipedia:
"The Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. concept for the jingle was created by Charles Rosenberg, Creative Supervisor of the Dan Nichols team at Needham, Harper and Steers, Chicago. Originally, the ingredients appeared as a one-word heading for a McDonald's ad developed for college newspapers. The words were then set to music created by Mark Vieha, who performed the original jingle. Charlie's advertising concept was to purposely turn the ingredients into a tongue twister. The jingle first appeared in a TV commercial titled "In a Word" developed by Dan and the advertising agency team. The first run of commercials ran only a year and a half, going off the air in 1976, but its popularity remained beyond its TV life."
