25,000 Big Macs
Thirty-nine years ago, an American man celebrated buying a new car by
eating his first Big Mac. Since then, he has eaten 25,000 Big Macs.
Mc Donald’s congratulated the man (a 57-year-old prison guard).
He said， “I plan to eat Big Macs until I die. They’re still my favorite food.
“He also told the journalist that it takes him 16 bites to finish a Big Mac. He has
missed eating Big Macs on only 8 days in the past 39 years.
The man said that he likes counting things and doesn’t like change. He

dinner.
Finally，he said， “I really do enjoy every Big Mac.”
