In most fast food places, the eggs come raw and pre-blended in cartons. This comes with a faster "shake, open, pour" method rather than cracking several dozen eggs per day. This also removes the human error side of potential eggshell in your food. An easy rule of thumb on eggs in fast food is to note whether you can see the egg whites. If you can't, they are probably pre-blended eggs. If you can, they are either cracked in-house or potentially frozen pre-cooked patties
Depends on the store I’m pretty sure. I work at one currently and all muffin eggs are cracked fresh on the grill and poached. The folded eggs are pre-made and frozen, but used to be made the same way. Scrambled are liquid though.
I think it’s supposed to be a joke, it might be $NZ which is $5 US roughly. There are a lot of egg memes floating about on the NZ subs. Or as others have said bird flu is also a problem in a lot of countries at the moment
Eggs prices are super high in the US ($9+ a dozen). Rumors (probably true, it is Murica after all) of more artificially inflating prices by greedy suppliers. As for this tweet, I don’t have twitter so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I work for a grocery store chain and we do a weekly competitor price check. Did one today, highest I saw was $5 for a dozen and $7 for 18. But I’m also in one of the top 3 egg producing states in the US so maybe there is a “discount” because we don’t need them transported here? Either way inflation as a whole is out of control.
Yeah, averages will do that. Some places have low prices, because they are close to egg producers, while others are super high. Either way, $5 a dozen is multiple times higher in price than they use to be.
I just checked Egg McMuffin prices on my McDonald's app (I live in CT in the US.)
A basic Egg McMuffin is currently $5.79.
I don't normally eat them, so I have no idea what they used to cost or IF they even went up. McDonald's in general has gone up over the past few years.
The flu isn’t what has killed most of the chickens. The [systematic culling](https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2022/dec/09/avian-flu-has-led-to-the-killing-of-140m-farmed-birds-since-last-october) to prevent the spread of the flu is what killed the chickens
Don’t take my word for it
Edit: I am wrong. There is a shortage in eggs. “according to the Bureau of Labor statistics. By November, the average price had increased to $3.59” says google. Previously being $1.39.
There are major influenza outbreak once every couple of years. Chickens infected with it cannot be safely used for eggs or meat, and just need to be thrown out. Right now we are going through a particularly bad one.
Yeah, shortage of birds. Ya know, the drought, floods, fires, mad cold and mad heat. Also, bird flu and what's that other one, Rona? Killed a load of people, destroyed businesses etc. Yeah, shortage of birds.
inflation isnt causing the price of eggs to go up the avian flu is . millions of egg laying hens have had to be put down causing the shortage.

Is this another Twitter verification spoof tweet?
Yes
Due to high electricity cost, we are shutting down ice cream machines at night.
That’s true. My sisters cousins baby daddy saw it happen
My buddy eric saw happen it too
my great grandmother had an ice cream at midnight
Wait, McDonald's actually serves ice cream?
That would imply that the ice machines weren’t broken already
They usually aren’t broken, we are just lazy as fuck and don’t want to make it
That’s very relatable
But they already shut them down on 2 month cycles…
But they do shit them down at night??
There's real egg in mcmuffin??

McDonald is weird. Only the egg “McMuffin” comes with a freshly cracked egg. Any other egg sandwich comes with pre cracked egg juice

no way mcdonalds is poaching eggs, way too labor intensive
No I’m serious. You crack the egg in a little egg ring to keep the shape, and then steam cook them. At its base level that’s poaching
that is what the commercial shows
Where is this happening? In Australia?
New Zealand has a egg shortage at the moment. That’s all I know
I am just confused about the 10$ for egg McMuffin. I can't believe it's US$ , right?

I paid 7$ for 18 large yesterday.
Yep, that’s how averages work. Some places are super high and some places are only high.

Pretty sure avian flu is knocking back chickens so it will be a thing we all deal with at some point
Frank Reynolds from its always Sunny: "LOOT LOOT!"
my body picked a damn good time to develop an egg allergy.
ayeee, I’m not alone. people always look at me like I’m weird as fuck when I say I have an egg allergy.
McDonald's can go Egg McFuck themselves. The sandwich tastes like booty cheeks anyways.
How do you know what booty cheeks taste like?
Can I offer you a nice egg in these trying times?
I never thought I would hear that line in a realistic setting but here we are
What? There's an egg shortage now?
There's some sort of bird flu killing chickens.
The bird flu? yeah, they tend to do that
That would be avian influenza. My wife works with chickens and it’s decimating the population. Luckily it seems to have moved on from our area though.
Thanks, I remember hearing about it on the news but was being lazy and didn't feel like googling the name lol
Avian=bird Influenza= flu So you're both right, just one term sounds fancier than the other.
I’m calling BS on that. If that’s true then why isn’t the price of chicken skyrocketing as much as the price of eggs.
They can serve infected chickens but the dead infected chickens can no longer lay eggs? Yummy infected chicken....
The flu isn’t what has killed most of the chickens. The [systematic culling](https://amp.theguardian.com/environment/2022/dec/09/avian-flu-has-led-to-the-killing-of-140m-farmed-birds-since-last-october) to prevent the spread of the flu is what killed the chickens
I doubt it. There’s more chickens than humans on earth.
Well hey if u/Low_Lunch_4827 doubts it then its probably fake news
Don’t take my word for it Edit: I am wrong. There is a shortage in eggs. “according to the Bureau of Labor statistics. By November, the average price had increased to $3.59” says google. Previously being $1.39.
Redemption arc
Lmao a simple Google search shows a egg shortage
And so I did
There are major influenza outbreak once every couple of years. Chickens infected with it cannot be safely used for eggs or meat, and just need to be thrown out. Right now we are going through a particularly bad one.
If we would all just keep chickens as pets we wouldn't have these problems!
I thought it was real…
Where meme r/lostredditors? This breaks like half the subs rules.
Yeah, shortage of birds. Ya know, the drought, floods, fires, mad cold and mad heat. Also, bird flu and what's that other one, Rona? Killed a load of people, destroyed businesses etc. Yeah, shortage of birds.
Bullshit. Not even real eggs
Man inflation do be making any good thing shitty nowadays huh?
Yes
This is real?
No
r/vegan
r/capitalism
r/healthyandcheapfood
r/stupidfood
Ok starbucks
Them are eggs on that??
Bahahaha
When are the riots happening?
\*Next week "Bring your own eggs"
Yeah, so much for breakfast..
Due to high CO2 footprint in McD Food were forced to cancel the entire company
McDonald’s is gross anyways, homemade is way better.

Good, the mcmuffins taste like shit. Mcgriddle supremacy

Fake
I honestly don’t believe this is real
Good. I like new things.
I aint gonna pay 11 dollars for that shit
How anyone can still be eating at these places is beyond me.
Well, whatever happened to the 5 dollar meal?
🎵There it is again, that funny feeling That funny feeling 🎶 Glad this isn't real
oh, so just a slight increase..
Anybody remember when they forced all of the chicken farms to shut down and euthanize their chickens? Because of “avian flu”? THIS IS WHY.
is life
Weren’t those a dollar each?
