Metric system - makes sense to me.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 4 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago

Most of europe I believe. We got 6, 10, 12 and some larger ones but most common is 10

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

We got singles, six and ten packs usually.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 11 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah pretty common for a large box here. Wait till you hear about the tray of eggs!

[–] wischi@programming.dev 2 points 8 hours ago

Or stacked trays of eggs 🤣

Why do the French only eat one egg for breakfast?

Because one egg is un œuf

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.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 5 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

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.

Bro, at this point, having a good Egg Dealer is a must in the USA.

Eggcelent meme.

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 5 points 13 hours ago

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

https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/aug/23/long-shadow-life-under-the-veiled-grasp-of-factory-farming-in-europe

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.

Not really, I buy a 18 pack and keep eyeing up the 30 pack.

[–] eletes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

Couple weeks ago I really needed eggs and the only ones left were the premium ones. Came out to almost $1/egg.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

I'm so worried about eggs man. That's my breakfast item! I need it!!
