Most Liked Instagram Post: Messi Finally Crushes The Egg
Today, when we decided to clear up some old posts, we came across this legendary egg that we published back in October 2022, and let me tell you – we got our detective hats on and discovered some absolutely mind-blowing post!
Remember that mysterious brown egg from @world_record_egg that had us all shook with its whopping 55.5 million likes? Well, honey, that egg has officially been CRACKED!
The Egg That Started It All

Back in 2019, this random egg (yes, just a plain brown egg!) decided to steal the spotlight from none other than Kylie Jenner‘s baby announcement. The anonymous account with the bizarre handle “World_Record_Egg” managed to snatch 55.5 million (60 million, as of today) likes, leaving the Kardashian-Jenner clan in the dust. The internet went absolutely feral over this simple photograph, and honestly, we’re still confused about how it happened!
The account, run by someone named Eugene (because why not?), didn’t follow anyone and barely posted anything else. Talk about mysterious energy! The egg literally came, conquered, and ghosted social media like the ultimate legend it was.
The GOAT Who Defeated The Egg
But plot twist of the century – Lionel Messi just said “hold my World Cup” and absolutely DEMOLISHED that egg record!

On December 19, 2022, right after Argentina’s epic World Cup victory, Messi posted a carousel of photos showing him kissing the trophy, celebrating with teammates, and living his absolute best life. And guys… the internet completely lost its mind!
As of September 2025, Messi’s World Cup celebration post has been liked by over 74 million different accounts, making it the most liked Instagram post of all time. We’re talking about a 20 million like difference from our beloved egg!
The Numbers That Will Make You Dizzy
Let’s break down this social media earthquake:
- The Egg (2019-2022): 55.5 million likes (RIP to a legend)
- Messi’s World Cup Post (December 2022): 74+ million likes and still climbing!
Within just 24 hours of posting, Messi had already broken the egg’s record. TWENTY-FOUR HOURS, people! That’s faster than most of us can decide what to have for breakfast.
Why This Matters (Beyond Our Obsession)
This isn’t just about numbers – it’s about the power of genuine human moments versus viral randomness. While the egg was a bizarre internet experiment that somehow captured our collective attention, Messi’s post represents pure, raw emotion from one of the greatest athletes of all time achieving his ultimate dream.
The timing was perfect too – the World Cup final was one of the most-watched sporting events in history, and seeing Messi finally lift that trophy after years of heartbreak? Chef’s kiss to the social media gods!
The Egg’s Legacy Lives On
Don’t worry, egg lovers – our original mysterious friend still holds a special place in internet history. It proved that literally ANYTHING can go viral on social media, and sometimes the most random content wins over the most polished celebrity posts.
Plus, that anonymous Eugene person behind the account probably had the last laugh, watching their simple egg photo dominate social media for nearly four years. Iconic behavior, honestly.
What’s Next in the Instagram Wars?
Now we’re all wondering – who or what will dethrone Messi? Will it be another sports moment? A celebrity announcement? Or maybe… another random food item? (We’re personally rooting for a bagel or maybe a pizza slice.)
