This is Carter Wilkerson, a 16-year old boy from Nevada, who just really loves chicken nuggets.

In a quest to get a free supply of chicken nuggets for a year, he jokingly tweeted Wendy’s, a really popular fast food chain. And, Wendy’s actually replied that if he got 18 million retweets, they would give him free nuggets for a year. He obviously took up the challenge and replied “Consider it done.”

“I sent out the tweet as a joke,” Wilkerson told the Reno Gazette-Journal, “but then they responded with the outrageous number... Then I put the screenshot up and it started gaining momentum.”

He went viral with his plea and Google, Amazon, United Airlines, and many other companies have joined Wilkerson’s quest for chicken nuggets and retweeted his post.

Wilkerson’s father suggested that at this point, “it’s great if it has a great cause other than eating chicken nuggets for a year.”

Putting this new found fame to good cause, Carter, at his father’s suggestion, set up a website where he will sell #NuggsforCarter T-shirts. According to the website, all the proceeds from the T-shirts will be donated to help families of Breast Cancer Patients, an educational scholarship, and to a local breast cancer non-profit organisation called Mom’s on the Run.

As of now, the record for the most retweeted tweet is held by none other than Ellen DeGeneres with 3.3 million retweets for the famous Oscar group selfie from the award show in 2014. Right now, Carter’s tweet is at 2.6 million retweets and seems like he might become the most retweeted person soon. 

@TheEllenShow I'm coming for you Ellen

Even Wendy’s did not anticipate this kind of response.

@hellxxn @carterjwm Honestly has gotten way more RTs than we expected.

But they’re also rooting for him.

@MarkPygas @hellxxn @carterjwm Nah, not afraid. It would honestly be pretty awesome if he got that many.
