Instagram <\/a> has found something it likes more than a Kardashian-Jenner family baby, and it\u2019s an egg.<\/p>\n

This weekend, a photo of a plain egg became the most-liked photo on Instagram, the social app owned by Facebook with more than one billion users that\u2019s reflective of internet culture.<\/p>\n

The photo, which you can see below in its full glory, currently had more than 23 million likes at the time of writing. That has seen it surpass\u00a0a February 18 photo from Kylie Jenner<\/a> \u2014 the sister of Kim Kardashian and a reality TV star in her own right \u2014 which announced the birth of her baby with rapper Travis Scott and has 18.2 million likes.<\/p>\n

Unlike Jenner, who has 21 million Instagram followers, the egg account \u2014 \u201cworld_record_egg\u201d \u2014 is a newcomer that seems to have been created in early January.\u00a0Nothing is known of its ownership, although it had 2.4 million followers at the time of writing, which could \u2014 and I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m writing this\u2026<\/em> \u2014 make it an influencer account.<\/p>\n

While much can be said about Jenner\u2019s rise to fame, she\u2019s a pretty successful entrepreneur. Her\u00a0two-year-old \u201cKylie Cosmetics\u201d brand is\u00a0estimated to gross over $600 million in annual revenue<\/a>. While it is funny that a photo of an egg can take the record on Instagram, there might be more to it. Jenner\u2019s company trades on her brand, the egg\u00a0could be a rejection or protest of today\u2019s reality TV culture\u2026 which is best embodied by the Kardashians and, in particular, Kylie Jenner. That certainly seems the case looking at the splurge in new and egg-related\u00a0comments on Jenner\u2019s birth post from last year.<\/p>\n

Maybe that\u2019s wishful thinking and this is just another\u00a0internet phenomenon that can\u2019t be\u00a0explained. It could simply be a joke that blew up, but don\u2019t discount the potential that this is\u00a0a stunt from a company launching a new product or wanting to make a splash.<\/p>\n

Showing that she might have a sense of humor, 21-year-old\u00a0Jenner acknowledged the new record in a video of her smashing an egg.<\/p>\n

This is the second social media record set this year after Twitter got a new most-retweeted tweet<\/a> \u2014 however, the roles were very much different.<\/p>\n

Yusaku Maezawa, a Japanese billionaire who is paying Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX for a trip to the moon<\/a>, saw a tweet that offered nearly $1 million in prize money for retweets surpass a true internet\u00a0phenomenon, U.S. teen Carter Wilkerson. Back in April 2017, Wilkerson took to Twitter to plead for free chicken nuggets; his original tweet now has around 3.6 million retweets.<\/p>\n
