Germany's World Cup drubbing of Brazil resulted in a second smashing, but of a different kind. 580,601 tweets were sent in the minute following the game's fifth goal, pummelling the previous record of 389,000 that Brazil vs. Chile garnered during the World Cup. On top of that, a record 35.6 million tweets were sent during the 90-minute match and six of the top 10 trending topics on the social media site were related to Brazil vs. Germany. So it's fair to say that the internet - brands included - had a lot of fun at Brazil's expense. We round up the best nuggets that popped up.
