About 100,000 eggs worth $40K stolen from trailer in Pennsylvania
The theft occurred around 8:40 p.m. Saturday at Pete and Gerry’s Organics in Greencastle.
Whoops, now worth $50k.
Thieves poached about 100,000 eggs...
that's a lot of eggs benedict.
I'd risk the blockage, and subsequent rectally destroying diarrhea, trying to eat that much eggs Benedict.
More importantly, how much butter are we going to have to steal to make enough hollandaise sauce?
How do you fence 100k eggs??!!
With the current rising cost? (Thanks Obama)
On the black market of course.
I'm honestly wondering if it was a hired job from a local factory, or maybe even a large producer.
There's just no way. There are obviously channels to sell farm products in large quantities but you'd need an established relationship to not trip every red flag in sight.
That's what I thought. But maybe there are places where you can just pull up with a truckload of really cheap eggs, stick a sign on the side of the road that says "Farm Fresh Eggs" and be out of there before anyone thinks to ask where you go them.
But if places like that exist, they still seem kinda risky when there is a recent "100K eggs stolen" headline. 😂
This is their leader.
I was always told not to count your eggs before they hatch...
Goddammit USA, you can't even commit normal crimes...!
Target accidentally gave me a dozen eggs I didn't order and I'm thinking instead pf eating them ill sell them to start a small buisness
To the moon
That means each egg is worth 40 cents. A dozen being 2.40$. I thought you guys were paying 6+$ for a dozen? Or is the 40k number before the stores profit margin.
12x $0.40= $4.80 That matches/slightly exceeds prices I've been seeing.
Your arithmetic is off by a factor of 2.
lol wtf, i guess my brain froze while i was typing this. I was thinking of a standard 6x package of eggs like i have it in my shelf but typed dozen...
a dozen 'organic' eggs being $2.40 sounds like a current producer price to a distributor. difference between that and the shelf price is profits for someone somewhere along the distribution chain.
$4 a dozen seems to be common for the low end outside of large cities, there's definitely some weird math.
A dozen regular (not fancy) eggs are about $5 where I am.
Why would somebody want a truck load of eggs?? Who would buy them even.
It's official: eggs are the new fidget spinners.
These eggs are hot.
"What's that got to do with the price of eggs?"
