    Which is correct? Egg Storage[^] I am sooo totally a B person myself. And you put the carton in so the eggs are in the side closest to the person. So when you grab them they aren’t over balanced away from you and onto the floor. I dislike A intensely. and I really do not know why. My family is just wrong though. They don’t have a system. Grab them out of the middle half the time.

      A-sort of. I would line up the two rows of eggs, not liking the "wings" on there. Reason: it doesn't matter which direction the carton is put back in the fridge; the center of gravity will always be close to the middle so the balance is predictable.

            Use a smaller eggbox: 6 eggs makes it more manageable. :-D

              Doable only if you always take the egg furthest from you - extra work. But the real question is about you: Are your a citizen of Lilliput or Blefuscu?

                    only extra work at first. Towards the end when you have less energy it is easier and less work. I honestly am not sure which I would be? It would be an accident of birth either way. and I don't think at 12" high I could swim the channel between.

                      yes, if you think outside the box all the eggs end up cracked. and that is no yolk folks.

                        with a son who eats a ton of eggs. I have the 18pack carton usually. That is even more of an issue.

                          Yes! It kind of reminds me of the "big endian / little endian" argument in the mythical Lilliput!

                              Eggs unloaded 6-at-a-time into the built-in egg receptacles in the fridge door. Though of course I'm being controversial in storing them in the fridge at all. Not so much for coolness, more for safety. Egg storage has been an issue recently after SWMBO accidentally ordered TWO boxes of 15 (we normally order 2 boxes of 6 per week; she was ordering extra on purpose, but meant to get 1x15 not 2x15.) One of the risks of online shopping!

                                  I'm an A person here, based upon the likelihood of the carton collapsing or becoming physically unbalanced if the 'inside' eggs are used first. I have previously lost eggs due to incautious carton balance management.

                                      It never occurred to me until I read this just now, but yeah, "load balancing" is exactly the perfect wording for it. I can now rest easy. :-)

                                        Which is correct? Egg Storage[^] I am sooo totally a B person myself. And you put the carton in so the eggs are in the side closest to the person. So when you grab them they aren’t over balanced away from you and onto the floor. I dislike A intensely. and I really do not know why. My family is just wrong though. They don’t have a system. Grab them out of the middle half the time.

                                          I'd go for B, but the other way around. I take my eggs from the right side first, probably because I grab them with my right hand :omg:
