This Egg Just Cracked The World Record For Most-Liked Instagram Post Of All Time

Okay, it’s too early in the week for this. 

For nearly a year now, a photo of Kylie Jenner revealing her newborn baby, Stormi Webster, took Instagram by storm (no pun intended) and quickly became the most-liked post on the app of all time with just over 18 million likes.

Until an egg recently broke this record. Yup, an egg.

Instagram account @world_record_egg took to the social media app to post a photo of an egg last Saturday (5th January) with the sole aim of breaking Kylie Jenner’s record. Then, just hours ago, it surpassed 18 million likes and is now at over 20 million likes as of this morning (14th January). 

Understandably, we aren’t the only ones bewildered by this recent turn of events!

While it is relatively unclear as to who hatched this idea to beat Kylie Jenner’s record, BuzzFeed News reached out to the account only to receive a reply revealing that it is being run by a chicken named “Henrietta”, who laid the egg. The egg’s name is Eugene, FYI. 

The user explained to the online news portal that they decided to beat the world record just as a challenge but had nothing personal against Kylie Jenner.

Right, so we’re just going to lie down for a few minutes and process this information for a sec. 

What do you guys think about the fact that AN EGG has more Instagram likes than you will ever get? Let us know in the comments below!
