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?

    Smaller stores some times place box shelfs like that do to low amount of wall space and regular spalce.

    Why the tilt sometimes do to space issues, sometimes someone moved it or the staff was in a hurry.

    Why 15 , we also have 6,10,12,20 and 24, never really reflected on that.

    Why are your eggs refrigerated?

    Fun fact even though stores don’t keep the eggs in the refrigerator most people do when we get home. I don’t know why that is, either way on the matter.

    How to pronounce ägg like egg but with ai from air instead of e.

    What is happening eggs on sale at a relative normal price at a normal store.

      Thanks, you just made me realise I used the same vowel in “air” and “egg” and it makes me uncomfortable.

      We do the same re: fridge in Australia, although stores are increasingly moving them to fridges recently.

      My speculation is supermarkets maximise for cost, homes maximise for longevity.

      Alternatively, homes tend to get hotter than supermarkets.

        I’m sorry for that, then I can’t really help to much with the pronunciation.

        My mum has the same theory about temperature, makes some sense I haven’t really noticed but I also haven’t measured it.

        Intresting that Australia dose the same.

        Do you do the same with the word leg? This is typical in Ohio or another part of Midwest US.

        I say egg. People in Ohio say ayyyg and layyyg, drawing out the vowel. Do you do this as well?

          The sound is longer in “air” than “egg” and “leg”. Egg and leg are perfect rhymes for me

            How do you pronounce the word oil? Where I live it is commonly oool. An oil well is an oool wale. This is more of a boomer and up thing.

            My grandpa, instead of saying ‘Do you want to fish by that bush?’ he would say ‘Yaunna feesh by that boosh?’

            Sorry I just love accents, language drift, linguistics in general. And I still haven’t learned diacritics

            Some people postulate that the pre boomer people of Appalachia, and specifically West Virginia, were pronouncing words closer to the “proper” British English of the 1600s and 1700s. They moved into the mountains and became isolated with low population and few outsiders. This insular culture preserved the language. Whereas British people who stayed in Britain were exposed to different languages and pronunciations which caused language drift.

              I guess “oyul”? I can’t really describe that first sound, maybe a shortened “or” as in “horse” (non-rhotic). The second vowel I’ve represented with a “u” is a schwa.
