Russia's egg crisis is spiraling out of control
Russia's egg crisis is spiraling out of control
An attempt was made on the life of the head of a Russian poultry farm this week as egg prices continue to soar.

Metric carton of eggs.
It's not metric, but there's another logic to it.
Those cartons are available for 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20 eggs.
I feel old seeing to many variations on egg volumes. When I was a boy the tray had 36 and you could fill a half dozen carton or two hals dozens stuck together.
The standard wholesale tray is 30.
They stack better than boxes, so it makes sense to transport them that way for restaurants and other kitchens.
I haven't seen the 30 trays in retail stores in several years. I guess most people don't need 30 eggs at a time or it's difficult to transport unwrapped
I couldn't remember I was recalling them and figured it was a 6x6 carton.
Where I saw them was at dedicated grocers and they were open top cardboard bases you could select the eggs from as required.
Thanks to shrinkflation we will start seeing that in America at some point.
I can buy eggs in the following sizes at my grocery store:
4, 6, 12, 18, 24, 32
In the USA.
Since before the pandemic.
I have no idea what the 4 pack is for but it’s a silly looking container.
It’s for cooking when you don’t eat eggs much
I've seen four eggs but they were duck eggs.
32 eggs in a cup like Rocky
