Running yolk was right there for ya

i dont get it why some people have the diarreah of the mouth where they just cannot keep even one stupid comment from escaping their lips

sometimes i just dont care and just agree with them 'yup you got me there' and continue on with my day regardless of the outcome cuz i just do not have the energy to play teacher to their stupid spilling out everywhere on everybody.

I just look at the bottom of a closed carton first - if there's a crack it is rare that it didn't leak

Yep, that's the move. You don't have to pick up each egg and inspect it. If it rocks, it's good.

If there's just one or two, I look for the bad dozen, which is usually there in the case, off to the side. Open that and replace the good eggs from that carton with the bad ones in your carton. Now you have 12 good eggs, and eventually the store will have a carton of 12 cracked eggs.

You still get dirty looks from dickheads, though, which I enjoy. I'm always pleased to piss off judgemental Karens.

I used to do this but I got burned once or twice, wound up with cracked eggs that hadn't leaked enough to stick or hadn't stuck, for whatever reason.

I do something g similar, open the package and kind of pinch them in pairs to see if any are stuck to the carton.

Works vastly better on the plastic cartons than the old (and still current) paper cartons. I remember mom carefully inspecting eggs.

not as much in an omelet though

I like most nuts, but not walnuts.

Walnut bread is pretty great too.

I mean like, imagine no one taught you when you were a kid, right?

That's how I feel about electric kettles. They're so damn useful.

1. Even if not learned through experience, it can also be learned through critical thinking. One could take a moment to ponder why someone is checking the eggs and could easily arrive at the conclusion they're checking for broken ones.

2. Or they could open their mouth without thinking much and say something ignorant to a stranger in the grocery store

3. Or they can demonstrate the greater depths of their ignorance and make a post about it on a social media platform showing they had time to figure it out but couldn't despite it being on their mind the entire time.

Sadly, much of our random interactions and popular public discourse are driven by #2 and #3

You can also learn without parents, when you all of a sudden have your hands/shopping cart/shopping bag/car full of raw egg.

It's obvious the first time you get a carton of eggs home and find a cracked or missing egg, or have thought for two seconds about the notorious fragility of eggs.

I feel like the poster might have been aware of the actual purpose but still wanted to spread a little enjoyable sillyness by comparing it to movie scenes where a money briefcase is checked out.

My grocery store usually has a box or 2 at the top front that's mostly full of cracked eggs from people swapping. So yeah, psychos. At least grab from the middle of the pile if you aren't checking each egg.

I always check at the supermarket because armies of gronks have put their grubby mitts on them, but I don't bother at the Asian grocery, because they are always perfect there, and they are kept in high rotation, with the staff checking them when they lay them out.

id be more suspicious of a store that would take offense at you checking

Supermarket employee doesn't care. Supermarket employee also checks the eggs before buying them!

I've seen them packed in 4s as well. 10 packs are common, and I've seen cartons of 15 as well. Dunno who determines that. I swear we had cartons of 12 too but I haven't seen any in a long while. Am I going crazy?

I keep them in the carton in the fridge anyway and my egg shelf has butter and cheese, so problem solved :p

If they get offended you can't check the eggs, they're trying to sell pre-cracked eggs. Do you want pre-cracked eggs, buddy?

You don't need to fridge eggs, if they are not opened. The skin under the shell bloom is there to protect the intended chicken from yeast and bacteria.

Edit: ok, the "bloom" outside mostly, if you don't wash it off. I only know eggs unrefigerated so far. And colored ones, them are cooled ...and also nasty and hard to peel.

also corn flakes

Eh.... Turns out a whole lot of people are bigots and do not deserve a platform.
