Did you know that fresh egg will sink in water, but stale ones won't?

Things that make you go "Hmmmm"!! Honestly, I have never thought about that - and didn't really need to! Thanks alot for the "view from the other side"!!

Anyways, I had no idea about the egg thing, but I don't recall having many floaters - - - Eggs!! What did you think I was talking about???!!!

I actually did know about the egg thing! A nice little thing to keep in mind when unsure if your eggs are still fresh.

Yep....I use that theory all the time...
Thanks for sharing, a lot of individuals do not know it!! Also if your egg white is runny, not firm around the yolk when you crack it open is another sign it is an older egg.

If it chirps when you crack it open it might be old.
