73. Eggs are the number one switch

Mon Aug 22, 2022, 05:35 PM

It starts because people check cartons for broken eggs, then they move cracked eggs into another carton and move uncracked eggs into their carton...

Cracked eggs are common in Texas. (Like there is one in every carton)
I did not see this in Wisconsin though.
