Why do the French only eat one egg for breakfast?
Because one egg is un œuf
- this joke courtesy of my college French teacher.
Americans just can’t get un œuf.
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
Most of europe I believe. We got 6, 10, 12 and some larger ones but most common is 10
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
Yeah pretty common for a large box here. Wait till you hear about the tray of eggs!
Or stacked trays of eggs 🤣
France : you get em in 6, 10 & 12
And Canadians
We’re European lite.
I feel like I never see eggs in anything other than 12 over here in Alberta, but I don’t eat a ton of eggs.
Bro, at this point, having a good Egg Dealer is a must in the USA.
Eggcelent meme.
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.
Farm just down the road sells dozens for a dollar.
But I don’t really care for eggs, so I’m not seething so much as chuckling at the egg prices in the store.
This morning I passed a dozen for $6.
A farm just outside of my US town was selling eggs $5 for a dozen
Dozen is 12 ? Im not used to imperial units od measurements
Oh a dozen predates the imperial system by a long way. From wiki because I’m a lazy…
The dozen may be one of the earliest primitive integer groupings, perhaps because there are approximately a dozen cycles of the Moon, or months, in a cycle of the Sun, or year. Twelve is convenient because it has a maximal number of divisors among the numbers up to its double, a property only true of 1, 2, 6, 12, 60, 360, and 2520.[1]
The use of twelve as a base number, known as the duodecimal system (also as dozenal), originated in Mesopotamia (see also sexagesimal). Twelve dozen (122 = 144) are known as a gross; and twelve gross (123 = 1,728, the duodecimal 1,000) are called a great gross, a term most often used when shipping or buying items in bulk. A great hundred, also known as a small gross, is 120 or ten dozen. Dozen may also be used to express a moderately large quantity as in “several dozen” (e.g., dozens of people came to the party).[2]
Varying by country, some products are packaged or sold by the dozen, often foodstuff (a dozen eggs).
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.

A ten pack?
Jealous?
Not really, I buy a 18 pack and keep eyeing up the 30 pack.
2-3 € for eggs is still quite expensive though
I remember when they were 1€ the pack… I would be fine with the price if the loval farmers were to get the big earn share and the animals would be held in good conditions, but that isnt the case…
Couple weeks ago I really needed eggs and the only ones left were the premium ones. Came out to almost $1/egg.
I’m so worried about eggs man. That’s my breakfast item! I need it!!
Lol, guys you know America has eggs, right?
I paid $8 for a dozen the other day. That sucks, but it’s not like that’s prohibitively expensive for most people. I imagine many are avoiding them, though, considering wages are so bad right now.
We’re just better at abusing chickens and sell their periods cheaper. Deal with 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.
You can’t. Remember no eggs.
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.
Ooof :(
lol
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?
Maybe they wouldn’t be suffering if they didn’t elect a clown show. Don’t elect the clowns if you don’t want a circus.
