If you've been to a grocery store in the last couple of months, you've probably noticed one thing specifically — EGGS ARE EXPENSIVE AF. Like, a dozen used to be around $2, now they're like $7!!!!!!!!!!!!!
According to Forbes, "The main reason egg prices remain high is the spread of an avian influenza virus which started in early 2022," which has affected around 57 million chickens.
Anyway, because the internet is the internet, everyone's coping with this situation by joking and memeing about it. Here are some of the best egg tweets:
