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?
This is their leader.
I was always told not to count your eggs before they hatch...
To the moon
"What's that got to do with the price of eggs?"
Goddammit USA, you can't even commit normal crimes...!
$60.000
Why so many zeros after the decimal point? Do you deal in 1/10 cents much?
European. Or maybe just a programmer...
As a European programmer, the comma-period-decimal struggle is real.
Most higher level programming languages don't accept commas, so decimals are started by a period, and thousands can sometimes (varies by language) be separated by underscores.
For example, these are all valid number notation:
1.00
0.000001
1_000.00
1_000_000
1_0_0_0_0_0_0.0_0
If you use the final one frequently, though, your employment may experience a period too.
That means each egg is worth 40 cents. A dozen being 2.40$. 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.
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
Why would somebody want a truck load of eggs?? Who would buy them even.
