I’ll start with some ideas…
- Hard boil a couple eggs, and write $1 on them. Then, next time you go into a store, offer to pay for your stuff with the eggs.
- Try to get an insurance policy on a dozen eggs.
- Try to pawn a dozen eggs.
Hey, if the egg prices are gonna be ridiculous, people might as well have a few lighthearted pranks for shits and giggles!
What ideas do you folks have?
List stuff to sell, like your car, but have it say with the price “will only accept eggs”. Plus side of this joke will be that you don’t have to go in debt to purchase some eggs for it.
Tell crypto people to invest into CHCKN as it will be a solid investment. If they ask which crypto that is, you tell them “no no, chicken, as in the bird. EGG currency is going to skyrocket”
3d print a plastic egg box with plastic card holder in it and tell people you got a new wallet.
Go to a grocery store and go “psst, want to buy some quality merchandise?” to random people passing by. Then reveal the inside of your jacket lined with eggs.
LOL, that loose idea crossed my mind too, right after I posted. Get on it, make it happen!
I literally just got done boiling a few eggs for my #1 prank idea, still waiting for them to finish cooling and drying before labeling as $1.
I also have a black trenchcoat, if only it was as cold outside as it was a couple weeks ago…
What about adding “in nog we trust” or something along those lines. Depending on your artistic confidence, maybe also a portrait, but with a chicken head instead of a dead president lol
And now the stage is set, tomorrow the pranks begin!
LOL, sounds cute and fun and all, but honestly I’ve never done egg art or any art on awkward curved surfaces. I’ll be glad if I just get decent handwriting when I write $1 like three times on each, so $1 is visible any which angle I show it.
But I did go ahead and bust out all my best black clothes, including black shoes, hat, and trenchcoat for tomorrow. I just got out of the shower, soon to be time to label my dollar eggs…
Arson.
Well that’s an interesting way to fry eggs, how’s that working for you?
Side note, I just finished boiling eggs for my #1 prank on the list, just waiting for them to cool and dry so I can mark them with $1…
in one of the Lucky Luke albums, a town was under siege. Because the price of eggs skyrocketed, one egg was sold and resold until, during a transaction, a chick popped out, causing the price to rise even higher because it was now called a chicken !
I saw a comic called “signs Dr. Eggman took over”. Let your mind fill in the gaps.

Aww, I wanted to hear some ideas!
Thankfully, unlike Reddit, you can still edit and even restore comments you deleted yourself on Lemmy. I’d love to hear any ideas, as long as they’re harmless, innocent, and preferably silly.
Yeah, I severely misread your question. I thought you were asking for alternatives to egging someone’s house due to egg prices. I just commented that toilet paper is both cheap and plentiful now that covid and its hoarders are done-ish.
Alrighty, LOL!
Yeah, not exactly the spirit of what I was getting at, but have an upvote anyways 👍
