That's $3 for 15 eggs. Sadly not free-range, only cage-free.
Not sure if this is the best community for this post, does anyone have a better suggestion?
I think I’m more bothered by the fact that it’s 15 eggs rather than a dozen or 18. I’m used to seeing eggs in multiples of six. This is weirding me out.
I'm a weirdo that likes to make myself 4 eggs at a time. WHERE DO I GET THE LAST EGG??
I haven't thought about that, haven't bought eggs for almost a decade so I generally don't look at them. I think it's a brand thing now that I looked at different store sites, some are 6, 12 or 24, others are 10, 15 or 30.
No idea how much money 35:-/st is, but apparently it's marked down from 42:95/st, so I'll take two please.
All I see is a pile of Äggs. Eggs on the other hand, those fuckers are expensive.
:P
Äggs eez bargain. Almost as good!
Ägg and egg is pronounced almost identically.
depends on who’s reading it
Is that IKEA font?
Yes
Yeah, the off brand is always cheaper
It's weird, there is no reason for eggs to be expensive. Eggs are ultra cheap to manufacture. You can do that anywhere and just need some kind of food because they can eat a lot of different things. It doesn't need precious metals or rare earth or patents or import raw materials - any country can just produce chickens and eggs easily.
So egg prices skyrocketing is either a fundamental dysfunction in a countries economy. Or maybe a political move to influence an election.
What is that ":-" symbol next to the number? I thought they used "kr" as the symbol for their money?
It's short for 35:00, so the price is 35 kronor and 0 ören
: is an interesting separator that I would only think of for time
I'm just working off context here, can't really defend the Swedes. It seems a little unusual to me too.
But I can't complain too much, because there are plenty of weirdoes in my country who use single dots for time, which I find even worse. Especially because the dot is also often a decimal separator. So depending on context 9.25 can be 09:25 or 9 hours and 15 minutes.
I like to keep things simple and don't use any separator at all for time.
they use :- instead of currency symbol because then you don't think of it as money, you are more likely to happily pay a bigger price
Not terribly off topic, but I've been wondering if cage free or free range has had an affect on the spread of bird flu. Our state banned cages long ago, but we still seem hit hard.
We have a local pultry ranch and last I heard they were hit pretty hard, but I think they are free range. I've also had a neighbor with a couple chickens in her backyard have to cull one. Oh, and one report of a cat dying. (It's really bad for pets)
We have quite a lot of rules and regulations in place for how chickens are allowed to be kept. If you're curious, Jordbruksverket has a guide on their website., assuming you're not Swedish here is a machine-translated version.
According to regulations on disease control, poultry kept for food production must be enclosed when they are outside. This also applies if you sell meat or eggs on a smaller scale.
You may only have your birds outside without enclosure if you do not sell meat or eggs from them.
I think this rule was put in place back when there was a bird flu outbreak a few years ago. My old principal used to keep chickens, but she stopped doing that after the outbreak because she felt like the rules around how chickens were allowed to be kept after that was too inhumane. Granted I think she said that you're not allowed to let them roam free at all so maybe she misunderstood, or maybe the law has been changed since.
