That’s one big omlette.
I need to put a lock on my chicken coup at this rate.
Who has the ability to fence 100K eggs before they go bad?
Waffle house
In the news today:
https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/food/waffle-house-egg-surcharge/index.html
Waffle House is placing a surcharge on every egg it sells
“The continuing egg shortage caused by HPAI (bird flu) has caused a dramatic increase in egg prices,” Waffle House said in the statement to CNN. “Customers and restaurants are being forced to make difficult decisions.”
Lol, “difficult decisions.”
“I got a guy for that”
The guy:
This sounds like a line from Trailer Park Boys
Maybe start marking eggs with some kind of dye pattern to make it harder.
Bro I got hard boiled, cage-free, and century. I can get my hands on Balut but it’ll take a couple days, and it’ll cost you.
Someone who already has a buyer, most likely an industry.
Give em to the poor
In the dumbest timeline our future Mad Max style hellscape will be dominated by those who control the eggs rather than oil and gas.
We must prepare our bodies for the Thunderdome. Thunderdome is the new law!
The Four Horsemen will be … the Egg Man … the Flour Man … the Yeast Man … all held together in an alliance with ‘Oven Man’
What about the Walrus?
Don’t forget the toilet paper man.
The masks and biohacks alone will be brilliant!
Vegans gotta be laughing their asses off rn
That’ll help the price go down…
Depends: in the most likely case, where the thief is someone who’s trying to exploit the crisis to make a quick buck (just like Big Egg are), your sarcasm is accurate.
In the unlikely, but not impossible, scenario of this being an act of Robin Hood style vigilantism, though, this could indeed make the price go down as a bunch of struggling people suddenly get free eggs…
I can’t wait to buy black market eggs!
So we are stealing eggs, now? What have we become…
My sweetest hen.
Everyone I know
fries some eggs in the endAnd you can’t eat them all! My empire of eggs
I won’t undercook
I will make you eggs
YES!
A dystopian anti-intellectual society ruled by tech oligarchs.
Buy a gun.
I bet it was one of those criminal gangs from across the border we’ve been hearing so much about. We gotta send more troops to protect Pennsylvania.
So millions of dollars worth
Joking aside, it was about $40k worth of eggs.
Huh, near me a dozen eggs is $9.50, so close to $80k worth of eggs at retail prices.
Eh, pallets don’t sell for retail price, and stolen ones, well…
100k eggs about to go bad.
You’d have to try to sell to stores and restaurant chains.
I’m guestimating that’s 28 pallets of eggs.Googling says 8640 eggs per pallet, so 11.5 pallets.It’s egg farmers trying to increase the price even further.
Lol.
Get ready to see a lot more of this.
that’s alot of do re mi
