The Four Horsemen will be … the Egg Man … the Flour Man … the Yeast Man … all held together in an alliance with ‘Oven Man’

The masks and biohacks alone will be brilliant!

I wonder if this was before or after they wash the eggs. AFAIK they last longer and can be left unrefrigerated before they’re washed

You underestimate how many deviled eggs I can eat.

I had actually thought about this sort of scenario happening, and wondered the same about a week ago. My conclusion was freeze drying to make powdered eggs that can be shelf stable for years.

Also might end up with a serious market for that as prices continue to climb with no end in sight.

Last I bought powdered egg prior to this recent skyrocketing, it was about a dollar per egg in equivalence. I don’t know what it is now, but I’m sure that will go up too.

(I use powdered egg for baking because I just don’t go through eggs enough to justify buying fresh. I actually save money by not having to throw away unused product)

“I got a guy for that”

The guy:

Waffle house

This sounds like a line from Trailer Park Boys

Someone who already has a buyer, most likely an industry.

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.

Give em to the poor

Maybe start marking eggs with some kind of dye pattern to make it harder.

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!
