A teenager with a love of Wendy\u2019s chicken nuggets has displaced Ellen Degeneres as the author of the most-retweeted post on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Just over a month ago, Carter Wilkerson asked Wendy\u2019s via Twitter how many retweets he\u2019d need to get a year\u2019s\u00a0supply of free chicken nuggets. The company\u2019s response? \u201c18 million.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sure, that was almost 15 million more than the record holder at the time, Ellen\u2019s Oscar selfie<\/a>, but that didn\u2019t stop Wilkerson. Soon, it became a cause of sorts, endorsed by stars like Aaron Paul<\/a>.\u00a0Giant companies like Microsoft<\/a> and Google<\/a>\u00a0jumped on-board too, because that\u2019s the world we live in now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a result,Wilkerson\u2019s Twitter following has grown from 138 followers to more than 100,000. That tweet\u00a0has been retweeted 3.42 million times<\/a> \u2014 not quite 18 million, but it\u2019s a new record.<\/p>\n

And yes, Wendy\u2019s says it\u2019s giving him a\u00a0year\u2019s supply of free nuggets, and it\u2019s making a $100,000 donation to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption in Wilkerson\u2019s name. After all, the fast food chain received\u00a0some amazing publicity in the process. (Before this, I didn\u2019t even know Wendy\u2019s nuggets were a thing.)<\/p>\n

I guess what I\u2019m saying is: One\u00a0tweet has probably made Wilkerson\u00a0more famous than you will ever be, and he\u2019ll be feasting on chicken nuggets for the next year. Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n
