It's just a matter of whether it's going out forwards or backwards.

Technically the air cell is located in the fatter end, and people store eggs to protect the air cell. Wide part down. So the skinny part is the top.
Growing up raising chickens, we always stored eggs fat side up, so the air bubble was at the top, and the eggs would last longer.
That is interesting. I wonder why they package them the other way then. You mean Big Egg doesn't care about our egg quality and freshness?
This is true.
If they did they wouldn't wash the protective coating off of them. Farm eggs, stored correctly, last weeks without refrigeration.
