I don't care how you break them, but you MUST remove them in an alternating pattern that keeps the carton balanced, rather than leaving a bunch of heavy eggs in one end.

Woah, I never thought of this...

This is one of my favorite *-pills to drop on people.

Not only is it better for balance - you never have a carton fumble and drop - but it's also mildly mentally-stimulating. Removing eggs goes from being a rote task to one where you get to solve a tiny, satisfying puzzle with each move.

You're welcome

Egg eugenics at its finest.

I do that too... you're talking about real eggs, right? This seems a little metaphorical. But why is it a -pill ?

Haha yes very much real eggs. It might be a bit metaphorical, but also real.

The pill part? I dunno, just vibes I guess yaknow? Carton-pattern-pilling

Carton pattern 😂

I always put them back in the fridge heavy end OUT so 'no surprises' but your way is (even?) smarter

At least you have some kind of system!
