I was today years old when I found out egg trafficing is a thing.
Imagine going to prison for it and bunking next to a guy who got done for heroin trafficing.
Cant have affordable egs sir…
Can we at least have affordable drugs?
I don’t even, WE ARE LIVIN IN THE ONION!
The egg game is lucrative. DM me for egg info
I wish I lived near Canada so that I could get breakfast there for cheap.
They’re only looking for fentanyl coming into the country. But since it’s made right here by big pharma, they’re never going to find any.
I’m not surprised. Border enforcement, like all law enforcement entities, do more to hassle harmless actions than stopping harmful ones. They’re the wrong group to handle the fentanyl epidemic anyway. That should be the job of proper drug rehabilitation programs.
could be for good reason, there’s a huge bird flu outbreak in the US right now, plus the US also has really strict egg washing laws, so depending on where these eggs are going, and assuming that it isn’t just eggs, which is likely, it could make sense.
It’s strange that Canada isn’t having the same issue: epidemics don’t usually respect borders
There are eggs that still come in Styrofoam?
Dude I’m a Yankee. Born and raised in RI and now living in southeast Mass.
Last year I went to Texas. Visited Houston, Austin, and Dallas. Rented a Mustang Mach-E and drove between the three cities (which are a big triangle with not much in between).
Texas has these gas station rest stops that are well known. Bucc-ees. And they are absurd. They are at least as large as a supermarket up here.
They have fountain beverages with Styrofoam cups.
I was so taken aback by this. I cannot believe that there are still companies choosing Styrofoam for fountain drinks.
No wonder they freak out about paper straws. Like, those legitimately suck, don’t get me wrong…but paper and even plastic cups are only functionally worse than Styrofoam when it comes to insulation (and by proxy, condensation)…they are objectively better in every other way I can think of.
How the fuck are they going to adopt paper straws if they are still using Styrofoam cups?
Huh, I haven’t seen that in a few years
Yes some brands sell them like that in Oklahoma at least
Hilarious image of egg smugglers being forced to ‘lay’ their contraband under supervision in a CBSA bathroom.
There is no such thing as an illegal egg
If you actually read the article, seizing eggs at the border is an attempt to curb the spread of bird flue. It’s decently common to make moving certain foods across borders illegal due to disease concerns
You’ve never been allowed to bring raw eggs of any kind across the border. I’m sure you can declare to do so and make arrangements for it, but I can’t show up at the border and bring eggs over, that’s always been the case.
I suppose you are right, in that it’s not the egg that’s illegal, but the action of bringing it over the border.
I think it’s just a play on “There’s no such thing as an illegal person” 😅
Excuse me, these are clearly chicken abortions, arrest the chickens! They’ll be easier to handcuff than the eggs, too.
In the US? Kinder Surprise!
There is one impostor among us
amogus
Have we not learned anything? 😩

Sorry, “unfertilized poultry embryos experiencing undocumented status”.
Sounds like eggs have more rights than people in America
That sums up their position on a few things.
Well, we are still allowed to buy, sell, and own eggs.
I don’t get it? Is this some sort of joke?
The eggs are illegal because they are transported illegally across the border.Removed by mod
Oh infantile humor.
Removed by mod
No chicken is illeggal
Counterfeit eggs!
Why does the US have high egg prices, but Canada and Mexico do not?
I imagine the US standard of shoving antibiotics into the chickens instead of vaccinating them probably doesn’t help
The eggs are woke
Damn transgenic eggs
*yolk
Didn’t you get the memo? Woke is out, DEI is in
Those eggs were DEI hires!!
Given that egg is actually a term used in some suitable contexts, it probably will be a dangerous word soon.
First they came for Enola Gay…
First they came for Enola Gay…
That is brilliant. The caveat is that anyone that understands the reference, significance, and warning probably is already on the right side. It will go right over the heads of the ones that are the problem.
The Enola Gay was on the front page of BBC yesterday.
You ever wondered how 90%* of chickens in the US are female? Almost half of them are transgender!
*not the real number, it’s (un?)surprisingly hard to find.
Well it’s because male chicks are all wholesale slaughtered in big grinders.
Fun fact- technology exists to sex the eggs rather than the chicks but it’s a little more expensive so we have baby chicken grinders instead.
Some countries have mandated this, but they are a minority:
They think they can just hatch and get free meals!
Because there is a big bird flu in USA and it is being mismanaged by a government of idiots who rather insult every one.
No, that is not the issue anymore and has not been for a while. Last time, to stop this, the government had to threaten with anti cartel actions - the prices were suddenly down again.
What do the cartels have to do with eggs?
You might be thinking drug cartel when you see the word cartel. A cartel is a group of companies in the same business colluding for reasons like to remove safety regulations or keep prices high. There is a worldwide diamond cartel that keeps those prices up and spreads bullshit about how your fiance won’t be happy without an expensive, natural diamond. Yes, there is even a cartel for eggs. They are loving bird flu because they can blame it for high prices.
Same thing as the willi Wonka prequel.
There is not enough competition.
I’d like some sauce on this.
capitalism.
You’ld be surprised how scarce something like eggs can get in a state-run economy, too…
Or sugar. Or gasoline. Or butter. Or meat. Or passports.
