This is no ordinary egg; it is the most liked egg in all of mankind. On January 4th, an account was created and posted one simple photo, a photo of an egg. The egg’s mission was to break the Instagram’s most liked picture record, previously held by Kylie Jenner at 18 million. The egg has raked in 36 million likes, crushing the old record. So the question is, what makes this egg so special? Nothing. Nothing at all. I believe the randomness of the egg is why it went so viral. Kylie Jenner has “cracked” jokes with the egg as well. She posted a video to her 124 million followers of her cracking an egg on the pavement with the caption “ take that little egg.” The egg that originally started off as a “yolk” has turned into a viral sensation in the new year. With the amount of likes growing each day, it will soon pass the population of Canada as it has already passed the population of Australia and Switzerland combined.
