9. Most Facebook “Likes” in 24 Hours: Oreo or Lil' Wayne?It started out as a silly promotional gimmick for a cookie. In February 2011, Oreo announced a campaign to win the Guinness Record for the most number of Likes in a 24-hour period.
And on Feb. 16, the black-and-white snack did indeed receive the award when it clocked 114,619 Likes on a single post within that time frame. But who should come along and attempt to rain on Oreo's parade? Rapper Lil' Wayne heard about the record and immediately summoned his posse to break it. One day later, Oreo's record was destroyed with 588,243 on Lil' Wayne's status. This made news around the globe, but has apparently fallen on deaf ears at Guinness. To this date, they claim the Oreo takes the prize but state, “All categories are open to the public and anyone who wishes to attempt their own record can do so simply by registering at

On your mark, get set… GO!!!
