United Airlines surely knows how ruin everything: feel-good stories, flights, you name it. On Tuesday, it was revealed that Carter Wilkerson was given free chicken nuggets for one year after his tweet became the most retweeted of all-time.

When Wilkerson originally posted that tweet, United Airlines threw themselves into the conversation, offering a free flight if he reached 18 million retweets.    

If you get the 18 million RTs, we'll give you a free flight to take you to any @Wendys in the world in a city we serve. Good luck! https://t.co/igxnPg1JUF

Now that Carter got his free nuggets, United Airlines is willing to pay up as well. 

Hey @carterjwm, congrats on your world record! It’s time to decide where in the world you’d like to visit a @Wendys! DM to get the ✈ rolling https://t.co/3prDeaQdbL

Twitter, however, was quick to warn Carter about his impending doom if he were to take up United Airlines on their offer. 

They will take your nuggs to feed their victims

One person even had a counter-offer for United. 

Now that's a contest we can get behind.
