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.
Who has the ability to fence 100K eggs before they go bad?
In the news today:

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.”
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)
So millions of dollars worth
Huh, near me a dozen eggs is $9.50, so close to $80k worth of eggs at retail prices.
