Have you ever wondered where your phone is because you wanted to look something up, while holding said phone in your hands, reading about something that made you want to look something up?
Yeah
My spouse and I were in a long distance relationship at first.
I lost count of the times she started looking for her phone to send me a picture of something while we were on the phone.
all the time :(
I’ve lost my glasses while they were on my face far too many times.
That was young me watching tv and searching the entiry house for the remote, but it was in my hand of this time
These are the moments that make me lose all hope in myself
When my daughter was 2 we went grocery shopping, she identified the Eggs and said “Eggs” and we were like “Good girl, yes those are Eggs.” Then she said “Eggs!” and we said “We dont need any Eggs sweetheart.” Which resulted in a banshee scream fest of “EEEEGGGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSS” for some reason as we rapidly tried to do the last few aisles and leave. I even went back and got a carton thinking “Fuck it, I can eat a few omelets to stop this tantrum” nope. “EGGS! EGGS! EGGS! EEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSS!”
And its never happened again.
Started as a kid, and to this day if my Mom asks what I want for breakfast I say “eggs”.
Children are such strange little creatures.
What’s bothering me is not how much that hits home, but the fact that Americans keep their eggs in the fridge …
Wait you don’t? Also i’m from brazil
No, I mean some people do, but you don’t need to. Because EU eggs are from vaccinated hens there’s very little fear about salmonella. It’s perfectly safe to keep them at room temperature for several weeks and in fact they’re sold unrefrigerated at every store. It’s also perfectly common to use raw eggs, e.g. for home made mayonnaise etc.
US eggs are washed and chlorined since the hens are not vaccinated, and once you wash them you need to refrigerate them. US still has like 150k cases per year of salmonella poisoning from eggs alone. Germany has like 10-15k cases in total.
(I also don’t get why people don’t understand they don’t go bad for weeks at room temperature. I mean what do you think the chicken that normally would grow in these eggs eat while growing? Rotten egg?🤪)
It’s not just that they’re vaccinated. Afaik, EU food regulations let them keep the cuticle on the egg for sale, which significantly increases shelf life. The US makes egg producers douse all eggs in a chemical mixture for sterilization, which destroys the cuticle, and makes the shell itself more porous to pathogens. Thus, US-produced eggs MUST be refrigerated, and are generally unsafe to eat if left out too long.
It’d be nice if we could just adopt the EU’s regulations in that area (and really, for all foods, because it’d probably make a ton of our stuff WAY healthier), but that’s probably never gonna happen.
That’s… what I said?

Why do you need to refrigerate the chickens after washing them /s

we still keep eggs in the fridge here in sweden, just no reason not to do so. They still keep longer that way.
Sure, hey, put in your fridge whatever you want. I knew people who kept their onions in there. Maybe you have a walk in fridge with endless space, I use my fridge for things that actually need to be refrigerated. And if you can’t get through a six pack of eggs in three weeks, why bother buying them at all?
Are you a butter fridged person or not?
No, not unless it’s really hot, but I also got one of those french water cooled butter dishes, so that helps a lot.
six pack of eggs
does this mean 6 individual eggs, or six larger packs of eggs?
because that could be one of the differences here, it’s not uncommon for me to get two 18-packs at once, and someone buying at Costco might be getting a huge pallet of eggs.
Six eggs. That or 10 are the normal packages here. I don’t run a bakery nor do I have a family of 50 to feed, so I don’t need a pallet of eggs… Also I walk to the supermarket, which is 5 min away, so if I’m out of eggs I just get new ones.
Doesn’t matter though, if you can’t work through your batch of eggs over three weeks you’re doing something wrong and should just buy less eggs.
After 3 weeks you just make you some easy peeling hardboiled eggs and pickle them.
Thanks for the clarification on your six eggs, but your ending statement there is just an opinion.
I mean I keep my onions in the fridge in summer, but that’s cause if I don’t they’ll start growing within a couple weeks. Sometimes it’s out of necessity.
just no reason not to do so
Space. My fridge is crowded as is without unnecessarily keeping eggs there. But if you have the room then ye
That makes a lot of sense, even for the eggs that we get from our family farm goes to the fridge (even though my grandparents used to leave them outside) just because that’s what we normally do here, most fridges even come with a egg basket inside.
Thank you for this post, and letting me know so many of you are experiencing early onset Alzheimer’s right along with me.
A few days ago I couldn’t find bread for a moment when I had it right in front of me till it completely disappeared. I carefully checked different rooms to see if I took it somewhere but it wasn’t there. Then I opened the fridge and it was there. lol
