Eggs used to have a round end and a pointy end. I have been noticing, over the past few months, that increasingly I have to really look hard to see which is which. Is someone doing something weird to chickens that increases the symmetry?

It may be an insidious, centrist plot to downplay the tension between Big-Endians and Little--Endians.

I think they're:
(1) cutting eggs in half
(2) glueing round ends together to make new double-round eggs.

This implies that somewhere there's a population of double pointy ends...

Where's the investigative journalism when you need it?

@Henrysbridge @riggbeck @helenczerski the pointy eggs are consumed by the industry, they buy them at a discounted price and don't care much about the form.

@Henrysbridge @riggbeck @helenczerski So what you're saying is the eggs are cut and shut. Just like cars.
