You should tell them about Facebook, YouTube and GitHub, on top of your own personal experience (which might be harder to verify).

I mentioned Facebook. The problem was about storing product reviews and I literally used to work at Yelp, which exclusively uses MySQL for the primary database. My current job also includes product reviews and I am very familiar with how low traffic review systems are. MySQL can definitely handle 10qps writes.
