Cottage cheese is back, because America is proteinmaxxing:
Why it spread
The post spread because it hit a hot topic that week and the chart explained itself, earning 15 likes, 2 reposts, 0 quotes, 1 save, and 2,079 views, which is 2.1 times the account's typical 7 likes.
What worked
- The chart is a line chart that shows yogurt rising while cottage cheese falls over decades, so the trend is clear without extra explanation.
- The post text ties the chart to a hot topic that week, which gave people a reason to share it.
- The chart is self labelling to a high degree and includes a source line, so viewers can trust and understand it quickly.
What to borrow
We could pair a simple line chart with a timely topic and strong self labelling, then add a source line, to make our own data easy to grasp and share.
Careful
Do not over-read the low engagement numbers: 0 quotes, 1 save, and a quote rate in the bottom quarter suggest the post did not spark much discussion, and the source reach was only in the bottom quarter.
