Yes, my favorite photo on Instagram is eggs.

This poached egg photo took Kylie Jenner #1 with nearly 59 million likes. That's almost three times more than the second most liked photo on Instagram.

The World Record Egg account broke the previous world record held by Jenner, starting with a simple campaign to set a world record for favorite photo on Instagram.

Obviously people liked the idea and did their best to get involved.

The record-breaking egg even elicited a response from Jenner herself with the caption "Take this little egg".

I have seen the future, and it is an ordinary egg.

Of course, I'm talking about @world_record_egg, a mega-viral Instagram account that broke into the record book by posting a single, unobtrusive image of a spotted brown egg that became the most viewed image in 1 days. Over 42 million people took part in this craze. Main news.
