behold my fridge
You fool, Americans have been emigrating! I can see all the eggs from Greenwich Mean Time. I can see a few on my counter! I’m scarfing eggs like Gaston over here.
Still can’t seem to get hollandaise sauce right though. That poor butter… 😔
Can we do this? Wait for it. i have something to get them really pissed off
I didn’t know eggs come in metric outside of the US.
We’re suffering egg-mageddon here and they want to exploit the situation to go metric? /s
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.
You can also buy packs of 15 (and 6), so thirds are possible :)
Are those eggs washed?
Your carton did a shrinkflation on you. And a regular inflation
Nice try but ours comes in a dozen. Looks like they already shrinkflation yours.
I buy them by the 18 pack. We eat eggs. Reminds me, I need to go make some eggs.
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?
In the US eggs are washed which then means you need to keep them cold.
The same people who don’t use the metric system for a dozen eggs
An egg shelf sounds like such a waste. Mine doesn’t have that luckily. It’s an old fridge though.
Yo what kinda broke ass chickens they got that only lay 10 eggs.
Hey now, it’s winter so the chickens can slack a little.
ooo, huevos
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
Not every place has a problem with avian flu - culling entire flocks are meant to prevent that from happening
I pay 3 euros for a dozen to a local farm here in Germany
Yup. I bought 15 eggs at Lidl in sweden yesterday fro 29:90 sek (2.5 euro)
Yeah the price at their Edeka was €2.79 for 18 eggs
Eggs are produced domestically most places, which softens global price sensitivity
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.
Easter is about to get weird soon.
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!”?
the orange intestinal parasite
Is that what we’re calling him now?
I’ve been calling it that for eight years now. Give or take.
that horse dewormer is overdue
Pretty sure dewormer works if there’s a worm infestation, not just feeding it to the worm in chief
I like you, hermano/a. Please forgive our stupid fucking country for our stupid fucking voters.
🇺🇸 🙏 🇲🇽
Stop showing off your immense wealth.
Do not taunt them or they will further erode their meager anti-bird flu measures and bring us a 2nd pandemic with Trump as “leader of the free world”
:laughs in chickens:
Ah if your not American, then why are the eggs in the fridge?
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!!
Because sometimes the house gets up to 26°C inside when it’s 43.6°C outside, like last week.
Where do you live that it’s 40 degrees??
If only it was 40°C, that would be a common summer’s day.
That day, the road I drove home on was 51°C at 16:00 and the overnight temperature didn’t drop below 27.2°C.
So, yes, eggs in the fridge.
Source: I live in Perth, Western Australia.
Ah, Australia. That explains it.
Yeah, if they don’t keep them in the fridge the koalas steal them…
Well, yes, that too.
Mind you, I’ve seen instances where the spiders will fight them for it.
Lots of places have that. Mostly around the equator, and much of the southern hemisphere since it’s deep summer right now
Straya, possibly?
Also, they will keep longer in the fridge, even though you don’t need to.
Straya very much!
I dunno, my family is weird.
Eggs are also refrigerated in Denmark, that’s why we used to be such a great ally to the US.
Do people not refrigerate their eggs? I live in Australia and we always have them in the fridge.
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)
UK here - it’s common not to. I think they technically will last longer in the fridge, but they’re absolutely fine kept out.
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
