On Tuesday, a month after he posted the tweet, the Guinness World Records announced that Carter’s tweet had just broken the world record for most retweeted tweet!

And now, that record is held by a man who just wanted chicken nuggets. The internet is just awesome, isn’t it?
Wendy’s congratulated Carter for his record-breaking tweet:
.@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/k6uhsJiP4E

Of course, with 3.5 million retweets (instead of the 18 million deal), the question still remains: did he get the free nuggets?
Wendy’s was quick to answer:
He gets them nuggs

Yes, he did. He got the nuggets.
This is what the 21st century brings us, ladies and gentlemen! Strangers coming together on the internet to get a man his free nuggets.
At least we know there’s solidarity in humanity!
What would you do for free nuggets? Share it with us!
