Chicken Nugget Request Sets New Twitter Record' data-article-id='2375'><script src='//news-app-staging.herokuapp.com/javascripts/getscripts.js'></script><link rel='stylesheet'

host Ellen Degeneres has held the world record for most retweeted Twitter message.</span> <span data-start-time='13479' data-end-time='31708'>More than 3.4 million people have retweeted a “selfie-style” photo she took while she was hosting the 2014 Academy Awards show, or Oscars.</span> <span data-start-time='31708' data-end-time='44479'>Hollywood stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and Bradley Cooper are in the photo with her.</span> <span data-start-time='44479' data-end-time='52125'>Now, however, the retweet record belongs to someone else.</span> <span data-start-time='52125' data-end-time='57167'>Unlike Ellen, he is not famous.</span> <span data-start-time='57167' data-end-time='60563'>His name is Carter Wilkerson.</span> <span data-start-time='60563' data-end-time='67500'>He is 16 years old and lives in Reno, Nevada.</span> <span data-start-time='67500' data-end-time='73208'>On April 5, he posted a question on Twitter.</span> <span data-start-time='73208' data-end-time='82646'>“Yo @Wendys, how many retweets for a year of chicken nuggets?” he wrote.</span> <span data-start-time='82646' data-end-time='87396'>Wendy’s is a fast food restaurant.</span> <span data-start-time='87396' data-end-time='92792'>There are many of them all over the United States.</span> <span data-start-time='92792' data-end-time='106021'>They serve food like hamburgers, french fries, ice cream, and, yes, chicken nuggets -- small pieces of fried chicken.</span> <span data-start-time='106021' data-end-time='111604'>Wendy’s quickly came up with a number for Wilkerson.</span> <span data-start-time='111604' data-end-time='123083'>The company said on Twitter it would give him free chicken nuggets for a year for 18 million retweets.</span> <span data-start-time='123083' data-end-time='131521'>Later that day, Wilkerson posted a picture of his question and Wendy’s answer.</span> <span data-start-time='131521' data-end-time='140375'>He asked Twitter users to help him reach his goal of 18 million retweets.</span> <span data-start-time='140375' data-end-time='148021'>Wilkerson’s campaign for free chicken nuggets soon went viral.</span> <span data-start-time='148021' data-end-time='155271'>Famous people like actors, sports stars and politicians retweeted.</span> <span data-start-time='155271' data-end-time='160375'>So did many lesser-known Twitter users.</span> <span data-start-time='160375' data-end-time='164917'>They used the hashtag #NuggsforCarter.</span> <span data-start-time='164917' data-end-time='169875'>“Nuggs” is a short form of “nuggets.”</span> <span data-start-time='169875' data-end-time='177458'>Earlier this week, Wilkerson reached 3.42 million retweets.</span> <span data-start-time='177458' data-end-time='184375'>That is still well short of Wendy’s request for 18 million.</span> <span data-start-time='184375' data-end-time='190688'>But it was enough to break the world record on Twitter.</span> <span data-start-time='190688' data-end-time='195750'>It was also enough, apparently, for Wendy’s.</span> <span data-start-time='195750' data-end-time='203313'>The company said it would give Wilkerson free nuggets for a year, anyway.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky'
