Please cast your mind back to Oscars (so white) 2014, when Ellen Degeneres tweeted the following group photo and it quickly became the most RT'd of all time. Until today.
Thanks to an intensive social media campaign, Ellen's record has been broken by one Carter Wilkerson, whose enthusiastic love of chicken nuggets—coupled with a challenge from Wendy's—got him the win.

And yes, this win is Guinness-approved:
Congratulations to @carterjwm who just broke @TheEllenShow's record for most retweeted tweet on @Twitter #NuggsForCarter pic.twitter.com/gwKyq8zmfPMay 9, 2017
Carter has yet to reach 18 million RTs, but Wendy's is coming through with the nuggets anyway, and donating money to charity.
.@carterjwm is now the most retweeted tweet of all-time. That’s good for the nuggets, and $100k to @DTFA. Consider it done. #nuggsforcarter pic.twitter.com/k6uhsJiP4EMay 9, 2017
Who wants to bet serious $$ that Carter will be appearing in a Wendy's commercial any day now?
Hey @TheEllenShow sorry about that... Can I still keep my TV and Underwear??May 9, 2017
