Social-media users are really digging their teeth into Uruguay's star forward Luis Suarez.
Twitter was abuzz after Suarez, who scored two goals in his team's World Cup victory over England last Thursday, took a bite out of Italy's Giorgio Chiellini on Tuesday morning.

As of 2:30 p.m. ET, roughly an hour after the bite, it had been mentioned 339,269 times, according to social-media analytics company Sysomos.
