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!"?

[-] hungryphrog 18 points 2 months ago

the orange intestinal parasite

Is that what we're calling him now?

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

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

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

that horse dewormer is overdue

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

🇺🇸 🙏 🇲🇽

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 39 points 2 months ago

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

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 months ago

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

[-] hungryphrog 7 points 2 months ago

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

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

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

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

Carton of eggs

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

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

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

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

[-] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 14 points 2 months ago

Because sometimes the house gets up to 26°C inside when it's 43.6°C outside, like last week.

[-] hungryphrog 5 points 2 months ago

Where do you live that it's 40 degrees??

[-] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 9 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] hungryphrog 3 points 2 months ago

Ah, Australia. That explains it.

[-] Palerider@feddit.uk 6 points 2 months ago

Yeah, if they don't keep them in the fridge the koalas steal them...

Lots of places have that. Mostly around the equator, and much of the southern hemisphere since it's deep summer right now

[-] hungryphrog 11 points 2 months ago

I dunno, my family is weird.

[-] EvilCartyen@feddit.dk 11 points 2 months ago

Eggs are also refrigerated in Denmark, that's why we used to be such a great ally to the US.

[-] StudChud@aussie.zone 10 points 2 months 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

[-] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

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

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months 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.

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!!

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] hungryphrog 8 points 2 months ago

Easter is about to get weird soon.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago
[-] MudSkipperKisser@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Mmm they look so affordable

You can't afford my eggs, traveller, my eggs are too strong for you!

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] protist@mander.xyz 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[-] Tja@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

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

[-] lambipapp@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

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

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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... 😔

[-] frank@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 months ago

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

[-] skittle07crusher@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

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”

[-] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 6 points 2 months ago

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

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Pregnenolone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

God I have so many eggs in my fridge right now haha just gonna go and eat one, maybe fried, maybe raw, who knows?

Your carton did a shrinkflation on you. And a regular inflation
