1. An egg.

This picture of an egg cracked Kylie Jenner’s Instagram record by a long shot, with over 50 million likes at the time of writing.

The world_record_egg account began a campaign to set the world record for the most liked post on Instagram, and it was an invitation people just couldn’t turn down.

The account was successful, and didn’t need to build much of an audience to do it, either.

The cheeky egg even got a response from Kylie herself.

There was a lot of speculation about who was behind the egg, and as time went on the egg began to crack.

Literally, it posted pictures of itself cracking.

The big reveal came during the Super Bowl when it was revealed Hulu had partnered with the egg to raise awareness around mental health.
