MOST RETWEETED TWEET OF 2017

You might be surprised to know that the most retweeted tweet of 2017, which has also become the most retweeted tweet of all time, does not belong to a celebrity, politician or public figure, but rather to a Nevada teen who likes Chicken nuggets! The story began when American teenager Carter Wilkerson tweeted a lighthearted request to fast-food chain Wendy’s, requesting an annual supply of chicken nuggets. Twitter was quick to answer the call after Wilkerson tweeted a screenshot of his exchange with Wendy’s, and his tweet did not only go viral but topped the chart as the most retweeted tweet ever in the history of the platform, garnering a mind-blowing 3.6 million retweets to date. Could the historical quest for chicken nuggets be dethroned in 2018? We’ll just wait and see!
