(CBSDFW.COM) - A Nevada teen's plea on Twitter to get a year's worth of Wendy's chicken nuggets is now the most retweeted post ever.
Carter Wilkerson asked the fast food chain last month how many retweets it would take for him to get free nuggets for a year.
Wendy's replied with a record-setting challenge, "18 million."

On Tuesday, the screenshot moved past Ellen DeGeneres' viral tweet from the 2014 Oscars with more than 3.4 million retweets.
Wendy's says Wilkerson has earned the nuggets despite not hitting the 18 million mark.
1080 KRLD talked with Wilkerson on Tuesday about the whole ordeal.
.@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
