Who sells eggs in 10s?
Metric system - makes sense to me.
Metric country here, they’re most often sold as half a dozen, often as a dozen, at the supermarket you can also find 2 or 4-egg packages
France : you get em in 6, 10 & 12
We got singles, six and ten packs usually.
Huh, never saw single egg being sold.
I saw that some bodegas in NYC are selling egg loosies. They referred to them as loosies but they were 3 eggs in a plastic bag.
Chicken’s dozen
And Canadians
Eggcelent meme.
Why don’t Americans get chickens and a small coop ? We have 4 chickens in the middle of town and produce more eggs than we can eat. We have to give some to neighbors and friends. We even cook excess for the dogs as treats sometimes.
Many Americans live in apartments or condos with minimal to no personal outdoor space, and almost surely a ban on “farm” animals.
Chickens need food, shelter and care.
While I think it’s fun to have chickens, I’d hate to think of people getting chickens just for food and neglecting then otherwise. And there are a lot of people out there who only care about money (and not animals) sadly.
How much work is it? If there’s a war or anything, getting chickens is on the top of my list!
Not a lot, make sure they have food and water, and that they are sheltered from predators at night. We have six hens and a rooster. The work consists of cleaning the coop once a week, and at the same time clean and refill the water dispenser and fill up the food reservoir. My kids do this in half an hour. We also have to pick up the eggs daily. We raised our Brahma chickens ourselves after hatching them in an incubator, and they are wonderful pets.
Edit: because we feed them a more varied diet, the eggs also taste better.
So cleaning, refill food and water once a week? And the 6 days left you only pick up eggs?
A ten pack?
Jealous?
Not really, I buy a 18 pack and keep eyeing up the 30 pack.
I get the idea of wanting to stick it to the US, but it’s maybe not the largest source of pride when you consider what the industry looks like. Being slightly less bad than the US is not a high bar. It’s still quite horrifying
Intensive farming is the predominant method of producing meat, dairy products and eggs in Europe and elsewhere in the world
In the EU, over 300 million animals spend all, or a significant part, of their lives imprisoned in cages – from sows in farrowing crates to egg-laying hens in so-called ‘enriched’ cages.
[…]
While the EU ban on the use of barren battery cages came into force in 2012, nearly half of commercial egg-laying hens are still kept in so-called ‘enriched’ cages. Additionally breeding flocks and chicks are also caged, often in barren cages.

Went to my local shop today and eggs were 17 eurocents a piece for medium size egg in a pack of 30 or 19c for 10 pack
Farm right outside of my town sells 48 packs for 3.12eur atm. (36 Norwegian krone)
Americans seething.
I’m so worried about eggs man. That’s my breakfast item! I need it!!
you’re proud that innocent americans are suffering? what a hateful, divisive attitude to share. banned from my instance.
Whoops, I guess we have to walk on eggshells around you.
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not.
I’m pretty sure it is. That’s my gut. I really fucking hope I’m right.
I’m still going to pretend it is.
lol
Ooof :(
How dare you mock us Americans for our intense suffering. This atrocity we’re forced to endure. This immense heartache of paying $2 more per week for eggs. This is literally the same as cheering on Sept 11. Have you no decency?
/s
Oh no! Whatever shall they do?
How very sad for us Americans, when there are a number of civil wars going on around the world, genocides such as in Gaza, and extremely oppressive regimes that kill anyone who speaks out. But yeah, the price of eggs going up is where we draw the line in the U.S.
Would you also like to complain about your freedom to not mask to prevent the spread of extremely communicable diseases?
