14. Chad Ochocinco: McDonald’s

Who doesn’t get excited when they see the golden arches on a long road trip, after a long day at work, or before and after a world-class athletic performance? Chad Johnson a.k.a. Chad Ochocinco was one of the greatest athletes on Earth and he got there eating more McDonald’s than you could ever dream of.

It’s hard to criticize someone for eating so much fast food when they are dominating football as one of the top wide receivers in the NFL. At the height of his prime, it is rumored that he was eating McDonald’s three times a day.

Ochocinco was an absolute beast. He was as eccentric as a star wide receiver needs to be, while making spectacular grabs look routine and frequently rolled out touchdown celebrations that put most of today’s to shame.

Aside from eating so much of McDonald’s, Ochocinco also takes all of his first dates to McDonald’s. Charming. This being public, I’m sure the women he dates are excited to get to date number two.

We all love to pound back McDonald’s and chances are we’d eat it as much as Ochocinco if we could. What sets Chad apart from us is his world-class work ethic in the gym. Anyone who works out as hard as this guy can afford to eat a fast food diet. The six-time pro bowler busts his ass on a daily basis.

Is it all worth it? I guess it depends how much you love McDonald’s (probably not as much as Chad).
