The power of social media should not underestimate. This is not the first time a joke account or simple post amassed a huge number of followers or likes on the service. Previously, Half an Onion racked up 635,000 followers, which overtook the popularity of Donald Trump’s account. And a US teen successfully dethroned Ellen DeGeneres for the world record of the most retweeted tweet after he asked Wendy’s Twitter account how many retweets he would need for a free year’s supply of chicken nuggets. Amazingly, he achieved 3.5 million retweets.
