    This is Trump’s forever legacy: the great potato hunt on Easter.

      It just sounds like such a Russian thing to do, Krasonov.

    In other videos that bemoan the current price of eggs, influencers decorate egg-shaped brownies

    What the fuck do they think goes in brownies?

      I mean, 2 eggs will yield you a dozen or so brownies, so if your goal is to just decorate something, you get more bang for your eggs by making them into brownies first

    I love that Americans who love memes about British food based on us having rationing still for years after the war may actually have to eat powdered eggs now.

    Personally I just cancelled the egg dyeing.

    As an aside I was in Walmart recently and looked through their Easter section and was amazed at how little stock they had of egg dyeing kits. Usually two sides an entire asile are egg dyeing kits. This year it was than half of one side. Really drove home just how expensive eggs are even more.

      Turns out all they needed to do was piss off the egg dying illuminati to right the ship. The egg coloring coterie, if you will.

    Eh, potatoes? Just get some plastic eggs and some paint, tinsel/glue and stickers and decorate those.

      Plastic eggs are probably made in China, so with tariffs might be as expensive.
