    - NFTs of specific eggs
    - egg crypto currency
    - mandatory AI driven (needs an account) app to use the egg
    - lower the production to control the price
    - lobby the gov to mandate that everyone needs to consume an egg a day & be able to prove it (or jail time)
    - use personal data to determine the optimal price per eg for each customer
    - egg loot boxes

    Poor old USA never got Kinder surprise, the FDA stopped them from ever being sold there since a plastic shell in chocolate are "non-nutritive items implanted in food" that makes them "not suitable for sale"

    Eggland's Best already stamps their logo on the eggs they sell. I consider that advertising on the eggs.

    fun fact: chickens usually give 1 egg a month, but due to severe selective breeding, they give 1-2 a DAY. Ugh.

    I find it kinda hard to understand how they are able to process nutrients into an egg so fast. and am inclined to believe that the nutrient composition would be very different, with the quick-layers being much less desirable.

    That sounds like BS. Chickens evolved to take advantage of bamboo fruiting season which happened once in 7 years, so as soon as that time came, chicken population would increase rapidly. So people figured out if we feed the chickens a lot, they lay a lot of eggs. That was the whole reason to breed them.

    If you could engineer any bird to lay 1-2 eggs a day from once a month, why only do this to chickens? Why not other birds? Why only chicken?

    Edit: the heck, my app bugged out big time. Made 4-5 comments, sorry for that 😅

    Technically chickens lay eggs and shit using the same external opening (cloacal opening), so it's just a matter of controling shit-to-egg ratio. It was designed to carry out enshittification once they seize the global market. /s

    The subscription model would just access to online catalog of various vendors you can buy from

    Technically not free. They get free food, housing, and medical care. For some thats probably better than what they got now.

    You mean suffer horribly in tiny cages and forced to pump out eggs at an unnatural rate and then slaughtered when they are deemed "spent".

    And cage-free is a minority of the world egg production. And even cage-free has issues with quality of life.

    Not to mention the billions of male chicks that are ground alive the day they hatch because they are useless.

    My local Shop-Rite recently recently had a sale of a dozen "large" eggs for 99 cents. I bought a dozen and they were like the size of fucking quail eggs. Can't complain for $1, I guess. These days, I have to buy Jumbo eggs in order to get something that is like the size of a normal egg.
