When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
Every morning to help me get large
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
So I'm roughly the size of a barge

”And no one can impulse buy EGGS like Gaston!”
I can eat 50 eggs!
...nobody can eat 50 eggs
...nobody can afford to eat 50 eggs
FTFY
Luke, is that you?
Yes, but there is no way I will even try to eat 50 eggs.
So I will distract you all with a musical number
I love this movie so much. First watched it as kid it made a deep impression on me. Still does, some 50 years after I first watched it.
I have grown to understand more and more as life goes on why a man would set himself to the task of cutting the heads off all the parking meters.
Sounds cool.
Taking out a loan here, boss!
Yeah, but you’re roughly the size of a barge.
Okay Gaston
I would love to see a video of you eating 50 eggs
Matt stonie ate 120 in 8 minutes... But i suspect he was full far before that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCncM1sJxtI

As evidenced by this past thanksgiving, at least 73 deviled eggs
Depends. If they are deviled/stuffed eggs I can eat at least a dozen at a party without even realizing.
So, 24 halves?
Minus the few that others manage to get to before I do.
I can only afford two eggs right now so.. I doubt that would fill me up but I could eat two eggs.
It's a weekend after payday. Gonna treat myself with 3 eggs AND avocado toast!... Without avocado.
I take it you are not paying your rent this month?
If they’re deviled eggs, I try to stop before $20, so probably 4 dozen under Biden, and maybe 5-6 eggs (if I can find them) under Trump.
Depends on how it's cooked, I guess.
Definitely. I’ve done a full English breakfast challenge once that had six fried eggs and that was no bother. Hard-boiled, I doubt I could do more than three and I’d be struggling on the third.
Probably a whole dozen. But I wouldn't want to be in a room with me after. It's gonna stink.
Wow! A dozen!
In a frittata, I can probably go six ish at a guess. Just fried on toast, assuming they're the big ones I'm just having two.
So many moons ago in a far off galaxy.
My roommate and I explored this very question.
3 and a slice of toast was the sensible outcome.
But I was foolish and what started this was suggesting I could eat a whole carton. Spoiler I could not. 🤮🐣 (And neither could they)
I can get about 3 down before I tap out. More if they have sauces
I think around 4 will do it. They say your stomach is what, two fists or so large? That seems about right
We talking scrambled, or shell on whole eggs? Scrambled probably 4+. Eggs never seem to fill me up like they should. Whole eggs maybe 1. Less than 1 even. I don't think I can swallow a whole egg.
I don't think I've even seen anyone eat a shell on egg before
5-6 depending on the size with 3-4 slices of bread. If it was just egg, 7+
4 is my standard portion, I usually buy medium sized eggs. If I was pressed I could probably eat 6.
my personal record is 8 hard boiled eggs. my stomach really hurt and my farts were ridiculous.
2 to 4 depending on what I eat it with
Alright, this is a question for me! 😊
I can eat 6 boiled XL eggs at once and do so on a regular basis.
By "at once" I hope you mean "in one sitting", otherwise you're surely risking some sort of jaw injury.
FLUFFY BUNNY
Haha I do mean in one sitting! But now I have the image of me opening my mouth wide like Kirby trying to eat 6 XL eggs at once! 😂
Deviled eggs? Probably 4 (8 halves)if it was all I'm eating. They are just so delicious.
Straight hard boiled eggs? If I have more than 3 I'm making egg salad so I don't know. But would consider 2 of them a main dish, plenty enough if I have a salad or something to go with them. And 2 is all I'd want at one time.
