Egg Dethrones Kylie Jenner as the Most Liked Instagram Post

When an egg has more star power than a top social media influencer

When is an egg not an egg, but a superstar celebrity in its own right? When it beats none other than Kylie Jenner, and becomes the most liked post on Instagram, that’s when.

Read the above sentence again and we assure you that’s as weird as it sounds. We don’t get it either!

But the numbers don’t lie.

Here’s Kylie’s most liked Instagram post ever:

Kylie announced her baby daughter to the world and social media reacted by making it the most liked post on Instagram ever. Until now that is.

This is the current top dog as the most liked Instagram post:

The Most Viral Social Media Post Ever?

The picture of an egg was first posted on Instagram on January 4th.

The poster of that image @word_record_egg had a simple message for its current and future followers. In its bio, it states:

“Let’s set a world record together and get the most liked post on Instagram. Beating the current world record held by Kylie Jenner (18 million)! We got this.”

They really got this, as the post started getting around a million ‘likes’ with every passing hour when it went viral on Sunday.

Not to be outdone, Kylie responded to the egg as well:

Smashing eggs is one thing. But the feeling of being dethroned by an ordinary egg? That’s gotta be priceless.

Sometimes we wonder if we are all living in a simulation, just like in The Matrix? This is probably one of those times where we can’t tell real from fiction. An egg really? Weirder things have happened.
