Why it spread

What worked
- The post tied the chart to a hot topic that week, which gave people a reason to share it.
- It drew many quotes, landing in the top quarter for quote rate, so people used it to start their own conversations.
- The headline made a sharp claim, egg prices up 58% since the end of November and at a record high, which is easy to repeat.
What to borrow
We could pair one of our own charts with a timely topic and a single blunt headline number, then let the chart show the wider context the way this bar chart showed egg prices soaring while other consumer items saw varied changes.
Careful
Do not over-read the result: the source reach was only in the bottom quarter, the design polish and self labelling were both medium, the form was not unusual, and the account still only got 18 likes and 3 reposts, so the topic and quotes did much of the work.
