That’s $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.
Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?
I think I’m more bothered by the fact that it’s 15 eggs rather than a dozen or 18. I’m used to seeing eggs in multiples of six. This is weirding me out.
Metric eggs!!
Base-5 eggs
Based eggs.
This gave me a good laugh
Oh wow, their chickens don’t pop 6 at a time ehh.
/s
Slacker chickens.
Boi, do I have an abomination for you
This seems inconvenient for retailers.
It takes up more space than the traditional cuboid
It wouldn’t if they’d make the sides flat. Hexagons pack nicely. Except the edges I guess.
Solution: hexagonal stores. Hexagons are the bestagons.
Delivered in hexagonal truck, trains, and ships.

Baker’s… half dozen?

I haven’t thought about that, haven’t bought eggs for almost a decade so I generally don’t look at them. I think it’s a brand thing now that I looked at different store sites, some are 6, 12 or 24, others are 10, 15 or 30.
Shrinkflation is brutal.
Common sizes in Sweden are 6, 12, 15 and 24.
No idea how 15 made it in there, it is what it is.
some do 10 as well
Ah yeah, right you are
I’m a weirdo that likes to make myself 4 eggs at a time. WHERE DO I GET THE LAST EGG??
Gotta buy 4 packs to even it out
They sell eggs in packages of 6, 10, 12 and 15 in Tesco here in the UK.
Only 15 confuses me. Why not make it an even number every time?
UK is a mess. Some things are measured in metric, some in imperial, and others are measured in stones and sticks and whatnot.
Why 10 and 12? Just pick one…
At least those are even numbers. 15 doesn’t even make sense to me from a packaging perspective. I would think a square 4x4 carton of 16 would be more efficient to pack in a truck than a 3x5 carton of 15.
Why? We generally get 3x6 or 4x6 cartons in my area, which aren’t too different from 3x5 dimension-wise. Longer cartons are better IMO since they make better use of fridge space. I would hate a 4x4 carton BTW.
Excuse me, but Donald Trump never promised to make äggs cheaper for Americans.
Just eggs.
How is that going anyway?
He was talking about human eggs.
Ah, in that case all he had to do was devalue women. Mission accomplished!
That makes eggs more expensive in comparasion.
Women aren’t buying them. Elon musk is buying them for his incubation vats. You know for his army of zef clones.
All I see is a pile of Äggs. Eggs on the other hand, those fuckers are expensive.
:P
The two dots above the A means they’re fancy!
Must be from one of those bird species with spotted eggs?
They’re from Österreich
Ostriches then, got it.
Ägg and egg is pronounced almost identically.
depends on who’s reading it
Same with æg. I can get 10 cage-free æg for 18,- kr incl tax, which is 2.49 USD.
Äggs eez bargain. Almost as good!
If there’s anything I miss about reddit it’s that if you were looking for a place to post something like this you could just go to r/eggs or r/eggprices and it would typically work
/r/weirdeggs for pictures of odd shaped eggs. Very odd and specific subs
Well? Go and make it!
And be the only one to post in it
Such is niche a subreddit’s fate.
This is interesting to see as someone who hasn’t been able to afford to travel. One of the cool things since learning German that I have noticed is that I can read a lot of Swedish and Dutch. Those languages kind of look like a combination of English and German with alternative spelling to me now.
Yeah I would say there’s a spectrum of intelligibility of English - Dutch - Swedish - German.
I noticed you excluded Danish.
Before English standardized, you could be in different parts of what is now england and hear ‘egges’ and ‘eier’ depending on which languages influenced things.
This is how knowing Russian/Ukrainian/Belarusian feels.
How is this funny?
!mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world or any of the other infuriating communities are probably better
It’s only infuriating to Americans, which makes it funny.
I’m not American, and I don’t find another country’s distress funny
I find your lack of fun distressing.
15? Wth is this? Insanity.
Eggs come in 6 or 12 packs. That’s it.
The other day I saw a place with a pack of 20 for the first time and had to recheck in what planet I was.
6-packs are available in the US, but it’s mostly 12 and 18-packs. There’s also the giant package, which must canonically be a “pallet” of eggs.
In Singapore, chicken eggs come in packs of 6, 10, 12 (always labelled as having two bonus eggs: 10 + 2), 15, and 30. Duck eggs come in packs of 6. Quail eggs come in cans (NFI how many they include).
It’s the Swedish bakers dozen so you can eat 3 raw eggs + shells on the way home and still have a dozen eggs to put in the fridge. It takes three eggs to equal the calories found in a small donut which is why the bakers dozen eggs is 15 instead of 13.
6 or 12? Wth is this? Insanity.
Eggs come in 10 packs. That’s it.
In City Center Supermarket I can get 4 packs.
Now, that’s just sick.
Come to Japan: 1,2,4,6, and 10 are the common ones (10 is most common at supermarkets). They have flats as well at some stores which I’m guessing are 30 but I don’t remember.
1 and 2? What is this, eggs for ants? 😂
In a place where people often eat raw egg, freshness is important. Also, tiny kitchens
They get even cheaper than this as well - this is on sale at Hemköp for the non-organic brand. If you look at Lidl for the same category, the regular price is approximately the same. To get lower you’d have to buy the 24-pack. If you get it on sale, then you’re looking at basically the best price imaginable, probably somewhere below 2 SEK/egg.
non-organic brand
Mineral eggs, straight from caves.
Delicious! Though not quite as good as the meteorite eggs, straight from space.
Not terribly off topic, but I’ve been wondering if cage free or free range has had an affect on the spread of bird flu. Our state banned cages long ago, but we still seem hit hard.
We have a local pultry ranch and last I heard they were hit pretty hard, but I think they are free range. I’ve also had a neighbor with a couple chickens in her backyard have to cull one. Oh, and one report of a cat dying. (It’s really bad for pets)
We have quite a lot of rules and regulations in place for how chickens are allowed to be kept. If you’re curious, Jordbruksverket has a guide on their website., assuming you’re not Swedish here is a machine-translated version.
According to regulations on disease control, poultry kept for food production must be enclosed when they are outside. This also applies if you sell meat or eggs on a smaller scale.
You may only have your birds outside without enclosure if you do not sell meat or eggs from them.
I think this rule was put in place back when there was a bird flu outbreak a few years ago. My old principal used to keep chickens, but she stopped doing that after the outbreak because she felt like the rules around how chickens were allowed to be kept after that was too inhumane. Granted I think she said that you’re not allowed to let them roam free at all so maybe she misunderstood, or maybe the law has been changed since.
Granted I think she said that you’re not allowed to let them roam free at all so maybe she misunderstood, or maybe the law has been changed since.
Seems like you’re required to keep them indoors during the outbreak of a disease like bird flu - there’s mention of this in the section right after the part you quoted.
I think the rules about having some form of enclosure are fairly sensible and probably not incompatible with an acceptable life for the birds. I’d guess a fence around your property would suffice, after all, which would simultaneously serve to make sure that none of your birds get lost.
Ah yes, I’d missed that. Thank you. Her not wanting to lock up the chickens 24/7 for an indeterminate amount of time makes a lot of sense to me. She was very fond of her chickens.
The terms “cage free” and “free range” are near meaningless on an industrial scale. The chickens are still packed in as tightly as regulations allow.
As for smaller producers, I don’t know. It sounds like bird flu is about as contagious as is possible.
This is why I like “pasture raised” as that term has regulatory teeth behind it, at least when I researched it
Considering that they have also shot up in price, probably.
Here in Russia we have big shortage of eggs. They are insanely expensive. 100 roubles for 10! Entire 1 dollar!
Yes but in Putin’s Russia the egg eats you.
Those eggs pay for being bought
Buying eggs 15 at the times? Funny indeed.
I mean Norway sells them in packs of 6, 10 (occasionally), 12 or 18. But it is odd that a metric country would sell them in multiples of 6. Although I suppose 12 is a good number generally because it divides easily into 2, 3, 4, and 6 so splitting it is easier unless you have a family of 5.
And thus we ended up with a 12 hour clock most places
I have a family of 5 and splitting is never really a consideration. I guess some recipes could be a little easier with multiples of 2 or 3, but I usually just make as many as we’ll eat. Sometimes that’s 11 eggs, sometimes it’s 5. There’s no pattern.
My main consideration is what will fit in my refrigerator nicely. That’s it.
R$25, or ~4 dollars for 30 eggs in Brazil
You’re getting scammed bro; there is a store in my city that sell them 30 eggs for R$15 (2.58 USD on current quotation) and I live on the Ribeirão Preto region of São Paulo in a small city.
uai, eu moro no DF 🤷♂️
Atá, ovo de politico é caro mesmo
ägg!
It costs… 35 what? What kind of currency is
:-? I don’t speak IKEA.Krona, i.e. Swedish crowns. One’s about $0.09.
They denote their currency with :-? Wtf is that? It looks like a lil mosquito
Yeah, we did that in Finland too before euros.
I think it denotes the cents. 35:23 would mean “35 kronor and 23 öre” (where öre is 1/100s of a krona). 35:- means “35 kronor” and “0 öre”.
Ohhh, okay, that actually makes a lot of cents. Thanks!
Just found a receipt in my pocket from yesterday. The smallest shittiest eggs are 33.30 Norwegian Kroner for 12 at co-op xtra ($2.95).
Norwegian krone =/= Swedish krona
I mean 1 krone is 0.97 krona so it’s not a huge difference but I’m sure Americans would point out if someone had been talking about US dollars and a person replied with a comment with, idk, Canadian dollars.
Sorry I’m just pedantic and krona and krone is easy to confuse probably, it’s not like one of them is “the default” like USD when talking of dollars. Although krone and krona do have actually different words, but the difference isn’t a massive one to be fair.
Jo, eg veit at det er en forskjell mellom krone og krona. Men det spiller jo ikke noe rolle. Eg har jo sagt at det er det eg har betalt og spesifisitet at eg snakker om norske kroner. Det er mange andre som har svart på samme måte.
En epäile yhtään ettetkö sä ymmärtäisi eroa kronen ja kronan välillä, mutta kun se ero on niin pieni ja ihmiset jotka ei oo Pohjolasta saattaa sekottaa ne, ni ajattelin painottaa sitä eroa, jotta enemmän jengiä oppii meidän (as in the Nordics) kulttuureista.
áh, ok. mun jáhkken ahte du kommentára lei čujuhuvvon munnje. mu meattáhus.
It might have been, I’m not infallible.
I’m just riding on the wave of possibility bro
