I agree, one smashed on the way home from the supermarket the other day and made a right mess!

I think they should just package them in the chicken - much safer

How about individually wrapping them in bubble wrap before putting them in the egg box??

Maybe you should point them in the direction of Cadbury's/Nestles etc, they seem to package theirs reasonably well.

Better still, why not just ask M/A/T/S/A/L et al to stock :

Scrambled eggs.

Omelettes

Soft boiled ( with or without soldiers)

Hard bolied ( not sweets)

Poached etc?

Less washing up too.

I get mine from the local farm so zero breakages as they are in an egg tray and go on a sheet of undulating bubble rap in the passenger foot well. Over size corn fed double yokers often hey are bootifull.

You do know that you may stand on an egg without breaking it if positioned carefully don't you?

So, OP, the moral is be more careful when you carry your eggs home, you flumsy clucker.

I am always careful but still end up breaking one when running to the front door. I have tried packing eggs with mushrooms but I still break one now and a gain.

Pack them at the bottom of the bag. Put the rest of the shopping around and on top and they'll be fine. I've never broken one in transit.

Some of the more modern boxes are polystyrene but the best thing still to do is put them at the top of your shopping or take a tupperware box just bigger than an egg carton out shopping with you.

How would kids make robot models at school without egg boxes?

Also if you can't safely transpoort a box of eggs from the shop to home you are getting nowhere near my ovaries...
