This is going to be one of things future generations look back on like we look back at the Great Depression (I’m trying not to think about Great Depression 2)
The whole trend (potato or egg) is just a waste of food. Always has been.
Why can’t people just use the reusable plastic eggs? Bonus is you can put candy inside.
Edit: Okay, thank you. Apparently we just did “Easter Eggs” wrong growing up.
We made pretty the eggs we would’ve boiled and eaten anyway. The week after easter we’d be all ‘dad, you ate the one i wanted to eat!!’ because we decorated it the prettiest so it was ours. It was incredibly rare the eggs didn’t get eaten. We also had hollowed out eggshells my grandmother painted that we’d put in a place of honor every year.
Eastern European or Slavic ancestry? My family is partly Czech and my aunt did kraslice eggs, they were hollowed out and painted with elaborate designs, we had a bunch in the breakfront cabinet.
Polish! I never really thought about why she did it. That’s really neat! I’ll have to ask dad if that’s what inspired her to make them. We inherited them, and had a little stand, but she had a whole elaborate display I wish I could remember clearly.
Waste of food? Y’all don’t eat your Easter eggs? And now that we are using potatoes, too, after the hunt just mix them together with some mayo, paprika, onion and celery and make potato salad.
I’d say use it would be better to make and decorate paper mache eggs so as to not add to the plastic demand. Also it sounds more fun to make with kids.
No one is using potatoes. Even the article confirms it when they tell you they saw online hacks make a video about how to do this for clicks. That’s their fucking source. TikTok.
There’s a lot to unpack here:

um. you eat the dyed eggs. did your family just toss em?
Boil em, mash em, stick em in an egg salad.
Put the eggs in an egg salad? But then you’ll get egg egg salad. Nobody wants egg egg salad.
… what?
i don’t know what’s unclear about my comment, so i don’t know how to respond. can you help me clarify things by you by saying what’s unclear?
Yeah it’s the one time a year I enjoy hard boiled eggs for breakfast for a few days.
We made potato salad with them before we started using plastic eggs
Yup, plastic is always a great solution to something temporary and likely disposed of.

Who’s throwing away the plastic eggs? We reused ours every year.
Do you still?
How so? Did your family just throw out the eggs after Easter or something? Because we always just ate them in the days after when I was a kid.

you realise you can eat the dyed eggs, right?
This joker be like:
I dunno, I heard eating rainbow eggs makes you gay.
Why would it be a waste? Theyre getting eaten. Plastic is way worse overall.

If you leave a potato in the yard forgotten you might end up with another potato.
Alternatively, if you use fertilized chicken eggs, you might end up with a similar issue.
