The hard-boiled egg packaging problem was solved long ago: a big jar on the bar.

I might actually buy this.

I wouldn't want to eat anything that didn't come shrink-wrapped.

I gotta tear open a box and peel a wrapper? And then fiddle with an eggshell?

Why can't they sell them in something like a ping pong ball gun, so I can shoot them down my gullet while making pancakes from a spray can?

Actually, looking a that pic, not sure it hasn't been de-shelled. If so, wonder how much cheap migant labor goes into removing eggshells all day?

No eggs for you, then !

Perhaps what is new is the lovely blue package and the word "eggology" I like my food with ology added.

Too stupid?

Why not pay $5 for a 10 cent hard boiled egg?

Prepackaged hard-boiled eggs are a bit silly, but Eggology also sells a pasteurized egg whites product that is pretty convenient if you are on a high-protein diet...you can drink it raw without worrying about salmonella, for instance.

They sucked in every way, then I googled how to boil water and my life changed FOREVER.

Boil (low boil, not rapid) 10-12 minutes depending on how you like your eggs, then plunge into ice water. Voila! Perfect eggs every time.

You need to open the box. Do the eggs come pre-shelled? How much packing material is in the box? How many eggs are packed in there and in what arrangement? Can an impartial test subject tell the difference between a freshly-boiled egg and a packaged one?

Just don't serve the turdy egg to your boy to serve as a focus of some retarded essay for TAL, please.

Fuck, you mean I have to peel them! There goes another 5 minutes!
