I brought a dozen camping with me the other day. Imagine my disappointment finding 3 cracked open when I arrived. I'll never financially recover from this.

Lucy Bluth: what could an egg cost? 10 dollars?

"In my day eggs were so cheep we needed a rapid dispenser for them."

Seems much easier to leave them in the carton.

I was enthralled by the idea of something like this, we have a lot more available vertical space in our fridge than surface space. Felt like it never worked that well though, so wegota hard container we can fearlessly stack things on instead

LPT: don't get ones that go that high. The eggs really don't dispense smoothly, and at some point they'll be stuck at one of the drops, and when they move again they'll fall fast enough that one will break.
