Remember the ‘World Record Egg’ that became the most liked picture on Instagram? Recently, it was seen that the egg started cracking under ‘social pressure’.
As it cracked, the egg had some important message to deliver, both literally and figuratively.
It turns out that the egg was cracking under the weight of pressure from social media.
We’ve all been there and we know that social media can put overwhelming pressure on our generation.
It seems that the popular egg is using the platform to start a broader conversation around mental health issues and people are loving this unexpected move.
We all sometimes feel like we’re going to crack under the pressure, doesn’t matter who you are.
And the problems always feel slightly more manageable by talking about them. #EggGang #WeGotThis #TalkingEgg #PR #Marketing #CauseRelated #MentalHealth @theandp_london— Bella Cordell (@cordell_bella) February 5, 2019

So that ‘World Record Egg’ on Instagram, became the holder of the highest liked photo by beating Kylie Jenner and used the following he gained to shed light on Mental Health? That’s incredible. Hopefully this inspires people with big platforms on social media to do the same.

Just seen this on Instagram, it’s the account that owns the most liked picture in the world (the egg). Really refreshing to see a positive message being spread about mental health! Hopefully more positive things like this will come off the back of this #ItsOkNotToBeOk pic.twitter.com/rgVAI94en0

This is the good in social media. When an influencer harnesses their power to bring awareness to an issue like mental health…even if it’s coming from Eugene the Egg. https://t.co/fC3Y8aF1y0 #EggGang

Using one of the most popular platforms to open up about a taboo topic is really laudable.
