A woman in Victoria, Australia, had an “eggcellent” surprise during her grocery shopping at a local Woolworths supermarket. She stumbled upon a perfectly round egg, which is considered a “one in a billion” find. The shopper shared her discovery on social media, attracting attention and sparking egg-related puns.
According to Melbourne’s 3AW broadcaster Jacqui Felgate, who received the post, these rare eggs have previously sold for significant sums, with one fetching over $1400. This rarity added to the excitement surrounding the find. Users reacted with amusement, expressing sympathy for the hen that laid it and seizing the opportunity to crack egg-related jokes.
Some users initially mistook the round egg for a ball of chocolate or caramel due to its unique shape. However, others chimed in, mentioning that they too had come across round eggs in their grocery purchases. Suggestions ranged from selling or framing the egg to jokingly advising the woman to try her luck with a lottery ticket.
The concept of a round egg being valuable puzzled many users, prompting them to wonder who would spend such a large amount and what they would do with it. In the past, similar round eggs have been listed for auction on platforms like eBay, commanding high starting prices.
While the woman’s discovery may not lead to an expensive omelette, it certainly adds a touch of uniqueness to her shopping experience.
