    I have 4 eggs left and they’re all right in the middle, 2 in the top row, 2 in the bottom row, to create balance in the flimsy container they came in.

    I don’t use eggs like that, but my housemate does. Looks like they take em from the carton one row at a time, the carton currently looks like:
    1 1 1 1 1 1

    Why do companies refuse to tessellate their eggs?! You could have 3x rows of 3-4-3 for 10 eggs, 5-6-5 for 16 eggs or 7-8-7 for a 22-pack.

          Id be cautious about using sharpies on eggs. The shell is pourous. It looks like you’re using a regular pen. You’re probably done but we avoid out of an abundance of caution

      For a second I thought you had some kind of crazy triangular egg carton until I realized it was just foreshortening.

        I had to read your comment to realize it wasn’t some cool home-chicken-owner egg holder.

          I think the combination of strong foreshortening, the unexpected extreme size differences of the eggs, and maybe the half carton many of us are less used to, makes this the eggbox version of one of those ‘mystery houses’ where things are warped in sone strange way that it fools you into thinking things roll uphill and such.

        Yes, European :)

        But the egg dispenser is something I once 3d printed when it was still a hobby.
        Can’t seem to find the original design anymore though.

    Normally, I work from one side to the other in pairs like below:

    XX

    OO

    OO

    OO

    OO

    OO

    I face the heavier side toward the door so that I will have the majority of the weight in my hand as I pick it up.

      Exactly the same, except the reason is that the eggs at the back can freeze if the carton is pushed back in the fridge, so I work from the far end to near

    Checkerboard! Keeps it level if I keep the pattern.

    I did once replaced half the brown eggs with white eggs and visa versa to screw with my partner. It didn’t work. I was just weird.
