Meanwhile in Sweden

That's $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.
Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?
I think I’m more bothered by the fact that it’s 15 eggs rather than a dozen or 18. I’m used to seeing eggs in multiples of six. This is weirding me out.
Metric eggs!!
Base-5 eggs
Based eggs.
This gave me a good laugh
Oh wow, their chickens don’t pop 6 at a time ehh.
/s
Slacker chickens.
Boi, do I have an abomination for you
This seems inconvenient for retailers.
It takes up more space than the traditional cuboid
It wouldn’t if they’d make the sides flat. Hexagons pack nicely. Except the edges I guess.
Solution: hexagonal stores. Hexagons are the bestagons.
Delivered in hexagonal truck, trains, and ships.

I don't like it and don't even care to understand why. Thank you for sharing this unholy curiosity.
I haven't thought about that, haven't bought eggs for almost a decade so I generally don't look at them. I think it's a brand thing now that I looked at different store sites, some are 6, 12 or 24, others are 10, 15 or 30.
Shrinkflation is brutal.
Common sizes in Sweden are 6, 12, 15 and 24.
No idea how 15 made it in there, it is what it is.
some do 10 as well
Ah yeah, right you are
I'm a weirdo that likes to make myself 4 eggs at a time. WHERE DO I GET THE LAST EGG??
Gotta buy 4 packs to even it out
They sell eggs in packages of 6, 10, 12 and 15 in Tesco here in the UK.
Only 15 confuses me. Why not make it an even number every time?
UK is a mess. Some things are measured in metric, some in imperial, and others are measured in stones and sticks and whatnot.
Why 10 and 12? Just pick one...
At least those are even numbers. 15 doesn't even make sense to me from a packaging perspective. I would think a square 4x4 carton of 16 would be more efficient to pack in a truck than a 3x5 carton of 15.
Why? We generally get 3x6 or 4x6 cartons in my area, which aren't too different from 3x5 dimension-wise. Longer cartons are better IMO since they make better use of fridge space. I would hate a 4x4 carton BTW.
