Peeling half an egg is insane. Taking your fully-peeled egg and putting it anywhere but your mouth is insane.

But again, parents pay stupid amounts of money for stupid stuff if it keeps their kids entertained for even a few seconds. Make it a set of cups for dolls and let the kids paint those too. Make some long ones that are magic wands. Ooh, could you be precise enough to make two halves that fit together as a yo-yo? Paint your own yo-yo, fuckers! Anything to shut their faces and make the parents feel good about not having screen time for an afternoon.

Egg cups are for soft boiled eggs. The top half of the shell is opened and the egg eaten with a spoon.

Finding out that you don't know how to use an egg cup just made you die a little to me. She falls from the plinth...

Seriously. I will have to boil an egg and make a video of how to use an egg cup.

You could make these...

Psh... I've fallen from that plinth like 600 times, you just keep forgetting. I've sort of picked up on how to use one from old British TV--you boil the egg for not enough time, put it upright in the egg cup, tap the top with the back of your spoon, peel it carefully back a tiny bit and hope there's a big enough air bubble inside, and also hope that you didn't boil it too much, and also hope that you don't crack it too wide at first, and also hope that you've got this much freaking time and energy for breakfast... all so you can eat just one damn egg slowly and carefully with a spoon. Ain't nobody got time for that! I eat things that I can walk around with, and if I'm going to cook eggs I'm going to fry them four at a time and then still walk around with the plate in my hands. Or I'll stack the fried eggs in a bowl if I'm super busy and I'm moving back and forth too much for a plate.

You go, girl!

If I had an egg cup I would use it as a toothpick holder

...you got any toothpick holders?

No, that's not how you do it. I will make a video tutorial. Your hanging on to the notion of peeling like a terrier with a rat. There's no peeling.

Indeed, I have one in the pipeline, looks something like this, but nicer. I don't like the top-heaviness of this design. It looks like it is just begging to be toppled like clodfobble.

Undertoad · 10-24-2016, 08:15 PM

OK I will be wantin' one o' those.

And this tragedy marked the end of competitive egg-peeling in the United States.
