    I don’t use eggs like that, but my housemate does. Looks like they take em from the carton one row at a time, the carton currently looks like:
    1 1 1 1 1 1

      The eggs have gone back to 5 bucks a dozen where I’m at, at least in the store I was last in. Still haven’t bothered getting any recently, but they’re not at like, 8 or 9 like they were at the same store a month or two ago. Not sure if that’s a change in the bird flu situation or if they’ve just been pushed down with some kind of subsidy or something.

        That’s crazy. I paid 2.80€ for 12 the other day. And that were the higher quality ones

        Was 5 bucks a regular price in the US?

        Yes, European :)

        But the egg dispenser is something I once 3d printed when it was still a hobby.
        Can’t seem to find the original design anymore though.

    Normally, I work from one side to the other in pairs like below:

    XX

    OO

    OO

    OO

    OO

    OO

    I face the heavier side toward the door so that I will have the majority of the weight in my hand as I pick it up.

      For a second I thought you had some kind of crazy triangular egg carton until I realized it was just foreshortening.

        I had to read your comment to realize it wasn’t some cool home-chicken-owner egg holder.

          I think the combination of strong foreshortening, the unexpected extreme size differences of the eggs, and maybe the half carton many of us are less used to, makes this the eggbox version of one of those ‘mystery houses’ where things are warped in sone strange way that it fools you into thinking things roll uphill and such.
