Canadians mock U.S. egg shortages with memes

Egg prices in the U.S. have risen sharply, reaching nearly $10 per dozen. This spike has led to a surge of mockery from Canadians who are enjoying lower prices for eggs. While American consumers face high costs and purchase limits, Canadians are taking to social media to share funny memes about the situation. The contrast between the U.S. and Canada is striking. Canadians can buy eggs for as low as $1.84 USD, while Americans lament their skyrocketing prices. Many Canadians are posting sarcastic jokes online, ridiculing the U.S. for its egg shortages. One tweet humorously highlighted the irony of America’s previous claims of independence from Canadian goods, now needing to beg for eggs. Some Americans are even resorting to smuggling eggs from Canada and Mexico, making them a hot item on the black market. U.S. Customs has reported over 3,700 seizures of poultry products since October, with eggs often hidden in unusual places. Those caught smuggling face fines that can be quite steep. The discussion around eggs has taken over social media, as Canadians continue to enjoy their steady supply of eggs. The egg shortage situation remains unresolved, but it has inspired a steady stream of memes and jokes online. For now, U.S. consumers must choose between paying high prices or risking penalties by trying to import eggs illegally.
