This is a real thing I do. It feels weird if the weight of the carton isn’t evenly balanced when I take it from the fridge.

    now kick your egg balancing autism into high gear to start balancing electrons on atoms to discover new elements.

    or balance the number of molecules to create a new type of crystal that cures cancer.

    or…you get the picture.

      I’ve never seen a pack smaller than 2x3. I buy at least two dozen a week. I make sure partial cartons are weight balanced though.

    not autistic but I picked up a very unbalanced egg carton once and realized we shouldn’t have unbalanced egg cartons. it’s just sensible.

    Balance is everything, I don’t want the carton to flip on me cause the eggs are placed randomly

    I do this too for weight distribution, but I don’t make sure it’s symmetrical. I’m worried someone in my family will be surprised by the uneven weight of the carton when they pull it off the shelf and drop it.

    I usually create checkered patterns to keep a consistent weight balance and keep box strength strength against external force evenly spread.

    The other day, in another thread about eggs (damn we talk a lot about eggs lately!) someone mentioned a 15 egg pack. WTF is wrong with your countries!! The natural egg set is 12. a dozen! because, 12 is the logical… Because 12 eggs is… Hmmm. we don’t have twelve fingers, or toes… Why dafuq do we use dozens? I mean, even decimal months make more sense

      EVEN NUMBERS ONLY! 15? Are you fucking kidding me? They come in 6, 12, or 18, or those big 30 squares. EVEN NUMBERS!

      Who packs them in odd must suffer the wrath of the gods of the autists!
