The end of the year is approaching us, and you know what that means!! It’s officially time for everyone to dig up all the photos they already posted in the name of nostalgia. Sure, they may be only 3 months old, but practically everything qualifies as a throwback when there’s a New Year sneaking up. There’s no shame in creating a little social media recap, okay?
So, here we are going back memory lane and looking at the most-liked Instagram posts of all-time. Let’s get started.
1.World_record_egg post: Well, this is awkward. The egg takes the cake (pun intended). How does a picture of a cracked egg gain more likes than that picture you posted of your newborn child? If you ask us, we blame the internet. There might be another picture of a different egg featured later on, but we won’t get your hopes up. The reason this picture received over 54 million likes is that the account World_Record_Egg used it for promotional purposes leading up to a huge marketing event.
2. Kylie Jenner’s first photo of her daughter: The star socialite has a massive fan following when it comes to the photo-sharing platform.
