How it spread

Trace the origin

Evian released Roller Babies online, then bought homepage placement and paid bloggers per view. Viewers shared it across social sites, and record coverage followed. The record is a milestone anchor. Later sales reports differed in scope and attribution.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak.
