Though 2017 will leave us with plenty of unanswered questions, let's take a moment to reflect on a few the internet answered this year. Namely:
1. Can Twitter win you a year's supply of chicken nuggets?
Teenager Carter Wilkerson of Nevada sought to find out when he fired off a tweet in late 2016 asking fast-food chain Wendy's how many retweets he'd need in order to win a year's supply of nuggets. Their price: 18 million retweets, well above the then-record set by TV host and comedian Ellen Degeneres during the 2014 Academy Awards (https://twitter.com/theellenshow/status/440322224407314432).
