<div><p>Carter Wilkerson really, <strong>really </strong>loves Wendy's chicken nuggets, and he'll do whatever it takes to get some for free. In a bid to earn himself some of his favorite snacks, Wilkerson tweeted at the fast food giant asking how many retweets it would take to earn a year's worth of free chicken.</p><p>Wendy's decided to play hardball, challenging him to earn a staggering <strong>18 million </strong>retweets. That was 2 days ago, and by now the nugget super fan is aiming to break the website's record and earn himself 12 months of crunchy treats.</p><div><amp-twitter height="472" width="375" layout="responsive" data-tweetid="849811960866758656"></amp-twitter></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>To be absolutely clear: 18 million retweets would be an impossible goal for (almost) anyone. The current record for the most retweets is held by Ellen Degeneres and her Oscars selfie from 3 years ago. The celebrity-filled photo has only earned 3 million retweets, so Wendy's has given Wilkerson a huge job.</p><div><amp-twitter height="472" width="375" layout="responsive" data-tweetid="440322224407314432"></amp-twitter></div><p>But against all odds, Wilkerson is making good progress. He has already earned over 1 million retweets, and fans online are trying to help him get more exposure any way they can.</p><p>One person has even set up a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/get-carter-his-chicken-nuggets">GoFundMe account</a>, planning to use the money to hire twitter "bots," computer programs which will retweet Wilkerson until he earns his year's worth of free chicken.</p><div><amp-twitter height="472" width="375" layout="responsive" data-tweetid="850375895084924928"></amp-twitter></div><p></p><p>Maybe Wilkerson is a fool for even hoping he can make it to 18 million retweets, but looking at everything he's accomplished so far, there's definitely a chance he could pull it off.</p><p>On Twitter, you can follow <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NuggsForCarter?src=hash">#NuggsForCarter</a> to track his progress on the quest to the magic number.
