Breaking Records
In February 2018, Kylie Jenner posted a photo of her new-born daughter on Instagram, for which she received a record breaking 18 million likes.
On 4 January 2019, a mystery organisation challenged this record by posting a photo of a single egg. In less than 10 days Kylie Jenners’ record was beaten by more than 10 million likes. The single egg photo received almost 30 million likes, making it the new record holder!
What’s so special about this egg? Nothing..Really!! It was all about the purpose of the post. “Let’s set a world record together and get the most liked post on Instagram. Beating the current world record held by Kylie Jenner (18 million)! We got this!”

Have you ever cracked open an egg and found TWO yolks? Lucky you!! Eggs with 2 yolks are said to bring good fortune.
How does this work?
Eggs are formed in the hen’s reproductive system. Each day a yolk is released from the hen’s ovary, and over 26 hours turns into an egg as it passes through the structure. Young hens, who haven’t fully settled into a laying cycle will sometimes release two yolks at the same time. In simpler terms – a yolk will get stuck in the reproductive system until the next day when another yolk pushes through.
Does a double yolk mean double the nutrition?
Not quite! Each of the yolks are smaller than a fully formed single yolk. The exact nutritional information of a double yolk varies slightly, but it is likely similar to that of a jumbo egg.
