Carton of eggs

For the low price of €5,70, these could be yours.

why is one so much lighter than the others

I didn't know eggs come in metric outside of the US.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

In NZ we get them in 6's, 8's, 10's, the classic 12, a 15 box and a 30 crate.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 hours ago

Me neither. We do dozens in Australia.

I mean, what if someone needs a quarter of a carton? Or even a third? Didn't think about that did they.

Curse these Europeans with their fancy metric numbers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

We’re suffering egg-mageddon here and they want to exploit the situation to go metric? /s

Oh yeah? I'll make my own eggs with blackjack and hookers.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Similarly to pineapples being a display object for wealth, I can see the time when we, rich Europeans would throw parties for US citizens having a single egg on a pedestal on the dinner table.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago

Easter is about to get weird soon.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Nice try but ours comes in a dozen. Looks like they already shrinkflation yours.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I buy them by the 18 pack. We eat eggs. Reminds me, I need to go make some eggs.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

US refrigerators have an “egg shelf”. You have to buy eggs by the dozen because that’s what refrigerators are designed for. Who can afford leaving a useless shelf empty - we already have that problem with the butter shelf

Who keeps their eggs in a fucking fridge?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

The same people who don’t use the metric system for a dozen eggs

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

In the US eggs are washed which then means you need to keep them cold.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

An egg shelf sounds like such a waste. Mine doesn’t have that luckily. It’s an old fridge though.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yo what kinda broke ass chickens they got that only lay 10 eggs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago

Hey now, it's winter so the chickens can slack a little.

Mexico reporting in, just yesterday I had two avocado toasts with four poached eggs on top.

Now where are those Dairy Section decals of the orange intestinal parasite that say - "I did this!"?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago

I like you, hermano/a. Please forgive our stupid fucking country for our stupid fucking voters.

🇺🇸 🙏 🇲🇽

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

the orange intestinal parasite

Is that what we're calling him now?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I've been calling it that for eight years now. Give or take.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

that horse dewormer is overdue

Ah if your not American, then why are the eggs in the fridge?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

Living in Aus during a heatwave, I'd rather my eggs remain raw and cold until I'm ready to cook them, rather than them spontaneously cooked in the pantry lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

We put eggs in the fridge. What are ya trying to say??? My eggs ain't good enough for ya?????

They are. Cone over, I'm making tariff themed omelettes on the cheap!!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Do people not refrigerate their eggs? I live in Australia and we always have them in the fridge.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Depends on if the eggs get washed or not

US eggs are washed and will rot on the counter, most other countries do not and so it really doesn't matter (I could have whether the washing is done or not backwards tbf, but I know it has to do with that)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

UK here - it's common not to. I think they technically will last longer in the fridge, but they're absolutely fine kept out.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 hours ago

I dunno, my family is weird.

Mmm they look so affordable

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

I am all out right now, but I will purchase a dozen organic ones this afternoon!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

I sorta thought that even if egg prices in the USA were high the global prices must be too but then someone sent me a picture of prices in Germany - they're literally 1/10th the price

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

Not every place has a problem with avian flu - culling entire flocks are meant to prevent that from happening

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Eggs are produced domestically most places, which softens global price sensitivity

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I pay 3 euros for a dozen to a local farm here in Germany

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yup. I bought 15 eggs at Lidl in sweden yesterday fro 29:90 sek (2.5 euro)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah the price at their Edeka was €2.79 for 18 eggs

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 hours ago

Denmark checking in, it was like $3 USD for 10 eggs yesterday, and Denmark isn't cheap

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 hours ago

Stop showing off your immense wealth.

You bastard. Some of us are insomniacs
