    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.

        Thanks for the clarification on your six eggs, but your ending statement there is just an opinion.

          No, it isn’t? Look, if you only get to the store every other month it’s probably safe to say you’re living so far away from everything that it’s just far easier to have fucking chicken instead of buying shitloads of eggs at fucking costco… It’s not like they’re complicated animals.

                Yes, it’s a fact not everyone wants to take care of chickens.

                Exhibit A: me, a singular person, yet still included in everyone, who has no interest in taking care of chickens

                Exhibit B: a not-insignificant portion of this island’s population, who are sick of the invasive feral rooster and chicken population, and the accompanying noise, to the point that people are hired to remove them from neighborhoods and many would be happy to never see or hear a live chicken again.
