The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon.
Today’s question:
Donald Gorske owns the World Record for most McDonald’s Big Macs eaten after consuming a belly-swelling 32,340 of them over a span of 50 years.
QUESTION: If you had to eat one thing from a fast-food restaurant, or any restaurant, every day, for 50 years, what would you choose?
(this is supposed to be fun, so please spare us the comments about how you don’t eat fast-food)
Talk about it….

A hard beef taco from Taco Bell.

@Exit 12A
I have eaten Taco Bell regular tacos at least 2-3 times a month. While in high school my brother worked at the Monument location in the early 80’s and a friend worked at the Lafayette location so needless to say I ate for free multiple times a week. Have since moved away but even now in my late 50’s I still go multiple times per month,
Yeah every once in a while I gotta get my taco fix too. Sounds like you totally scored back in the day with TWO locations.
I can down up to eight at one meal… normal is four. You?
Arby’s. Roast beef sandwich for life.
Ice cream. That way, I can eat my home cooked meals at home, then go out for ice cream for dessert. I wouldn’t get sick and tired of eating the same thing every day, because I can try different flavors.
Pizza. Deep dish pepperoni. Don’t forget the parmesan cheese!
A single salt packet.
El Pollo Loco
That is good chicken.
At my age, I’m up for anything that would give me another 50 years, even a Big Mac!
horrible blood chemistries notwithstanding, I could/would go for either a hamburger or (preferably stuffed) pizza everyday.
What? No turkey?
Combo Pizza with light sauce from Round Table.
Fudrucker’s 1/2 lb burger. With nacho cheese, jalapenos, onions, and hot sauce.
I could eat the same thing once or twice a month. But every day for 50 years? It would be boring.
I would NOT want to be this guy’s colon.
If he survived for 50 years on that diet, his colon must be in pretty good shape. I’d guess his diet included other, healthier things, than just the burgers, thereby keeping his colon happy.
[This that] whos colon would you want to be?
Whataburgers honey bbq chicken strip sandwich!
Nachos. I seem to eat them everyday anyway. 🤣
“two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun” ~~~~ yeahhhhh! @ 65 cents when he started 😉
For anyone interested here’s the recipe for big mac sauce.
1/3 cup low-fat mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dill pickle relish
2 teaspoons ketchup
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon finely chopped white onion
Note: If using sweet relish, use 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
5 big Gulf Shrimp, battered & deep fried, served with cocktail sauce or sweet & sour or boiled & served with lemon & cocktail sauce. I’d like a couple slices of garlic bread also but I guess that’s two things.
Ya! Having spent my younger years in 60’s living in Corpus a block from the gulf we had shrimp every meal. Now the shrimp there are thriving cause Mexicans don’t care for it. Glad I don’t live there now none the less even with all that shrimp.
LAL,
Isn’t cóctel de camarón a huge deal for peeps from Mexico?
I find it delicious
If my stomach could take it pepperoni pizza, but alas it can’t.
An old fashioned frosty in a cone
when I was young it would have been jack in he box fries.
I would have to say pizza.
It’s the entire reason he didnt live very long.
He is still alive.
Wait…..
Fish sandwich – from Wendy’s or Jack in the Sack when they have them, if not McDuck’s
Sourdough jack burg with monster taco(now their just regular size) from Jack in the Box!
Carl’s Jr just came out with their sourdough Burger and it’s way better than the Jack in the Box one.
First choice would be haggis. Second choice would probably be tripe. I’d be perfectly happy with either one of them. Very good stuff.
An animal stomach stuffed with veggies sounds disgusting.
Tripe is good if youre a parrot though.
How’s things in jolly ole England btw?
Pug: why not add some spotted dick, and toad in the hole?
French fries for me
Like Dr. Jellyfinger, I’ll take shrimp. Definitely could eat it every single day.
With the shrimp comment that I replied to above if anybody in the East Bay area finds a place that has decent Gulf large jumbo deep fried shrimp let us know because seafood here in Northern California sucks even the San Francisco restaurant style stuff.
The only place locally that I know of that has large, fried Gulf Shrimp is
Southern Comfort Kitchen in Pleasant Hill and I haven’t been there (yet) but they have good reviews.
@LocalAntiLib….”….large jumbo deep fried shrimp….”, the oxymoron of seafood.
Back Forty pork ribs!
Chips, cheese, chili, guacamole and sour creme. It was a dish served at a Mexican fast food place in the 70s and 80s. There was a place on N. Main and a place on Contra Costa Blvd. I wish I could remember the name of the place.
@FPN….Taco Tia or El Taco.
nytemuvr: The original Taco Tia near the high school was great, but I don’t know what that new one is at the other location. The legend was that when the LA Rams used to do their preseason practice near there, they also loved that place and would all go to it afterwards so there was a comical long line of football players. The chains later like Taco Bell and Del Taco seem to go through a race to the bottom for the quality of the meat, but Taco Tia was always great.
@FPN… Taco Tia and El Taco we’re both started by a guy with the last name of Bell, they later renamed those places Taco Bell in the mid 60s. I did some research a few years ago for a FB page.
Never heard of el taco but I think Bell left Taco Tia and went on to create Taco Bell, while Taco Tia remained a very small local chain. Definitely Taco Tia existed into the 1970s at least even while Taco Bell was expanding.
@To Do List….I might be mistaken, I know that Mr. Bell had some kind of relationship to Taco Tia and Taco Bell. What I do know is Baker’s Tacos on Monument Blvd. was the best tacos around in the 60s IMO.
oops. I see now you were talking about here. Ignore my comments.
If I had to eat one thing every day for 50 years, I’d choose a salami sandwich on sliced sourdough with pepper jack cheese. Easy on the sauces and no onions, but everything else is fine. Oh, and it would be from Fisherman’s Wharf in Pleasant Hill.
