    Why does the tosser egg have some sort of donut shaped cereal in the bowl?

      Don’t eat spoiled eggs.

      I had a coworker who did. She had to go to the emergency room and missed work for a month.

      I think I dunno. That was her story. She could have went to Cancun or backpacked in Europe and made up the story.

    My egg packages here in Sweden have that information printed on them.

    But the version where the egg floats they don’t say to toss it out, but rather crack it open, look, smell. Might still be good.

      Exactly. If an egg has gone bad, you can’t really miss it.

      Also why it’s good to always quickly check eggs before adding them to a mix.

          The colour is typically also a dead giveaway.

          Of course blind people with anosmia are on their own there.

      Exactly, the egg floating doesn’t mean that it’s not edible anymore, just that it’s old.

        Yes, I’m sick of seeing this infographic and ones like it as it encourages waste

    Remember, if the thick cloud emitted by the egg only drifts upwards, it’s probably no good.

    No, this graphic really is solid advice for people to know, but damn if it could have been designed with a little more forethought. Imagine, for instance, if the reader is yellow/blue colorblind. They could make a guess at what’s happening, but they may not quite be sure. Arrows are doing 99% of the lifting, here.

      I think it’s if it produces both a thick gas cloud and Fruitloops. If it’s only one of those, it may still be good.

      Menses.

      Also, that’s some really bad biology there.

      The closest comparison to human cycles could be ovulation, not menstruation. Hell, it would be closer to childbirth than menstruation.

      Also, the sounds hens make before, during, and after laying are… impressive. Definitely closer to childbirth in that regard.

      They used to have the six piece on the dollar menu. But that’s capitalism for you. 🤷‍♀️

      As close as you can get to “eat soon”. It’ll have a decent air pocket developed and the membrane adhering to the shell will be weaker.

      As an egg gets older it starts to break down, so it’s density becomes less. Eventually it’s density will be less than the water so it’ll begin to float.

      The older an egg gets the more experienced it gets with swimming. I once had an egg that was so old, it could do 4 laps in an Olympic swimming pool in under a minute

      Unfortunately by that zime it had already gone bad. Started smoking, got into trouble with the law, that sorta stuff. Must be because of that satanic heavy metal music

    I live in a country where they don’t boil and bleach the duck placenta off of the egg so you can just sort of keep them on the floor outside of the refrigerator for days and it doesn’t matter it’s fine

    Advice: Don’t trust infographics with zero source reporting for things as important as food safety.
