Wait a minute. In the photo, 058 would be February 27. If I'm counting right, that's 43 days before April 11.

Good eye David S. A little math goes a long way. I've been waiting to see if anyone got it. Eggs this old the white runs like water and the yoke is flat.

But what about the sell by having to be within 30 days of the pack date?

This site says 45 days. Can't seem to find a hard number for this.

Carton Dates

Egg cartons from plants producing U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA)-graded eggs must display a Julian date – the date the eggs were packed. Although not required, egg cartons may also carry an expiration (sell-by) date and/or a best-by (use-by) date. Expiration dates are included on some egg cartons ensuring retailers do not keep eggs on shelves past a certain date. However, eggs can be safely eaten 2-3 weeks beyond the expiration date. Depending on the state, the expiration date may be labeled as SELL BY, USE BY, EXP BY or BEST BY. On USDA grade-shielded egg cartons, if an expiration date appears, it can be no more than 30 days after the pack date. It may be less than 30 days through the choice of the packer or quantity purchaser, such as your local supermarket chain. On USDA grade-shielded egg cartons, if a best-by (use-by) date appears, it can be no more than 45 days after the pack date. Eggs that are not packed under USDA's grading program must be labeled and coded in accordance with egg laws in the state where they are packed and/or sold. Most states require the use of a Julian date.

Somehow I don't think that will taste the same as a free range egg.

Hate to interrupt the egg discussion, but...

I'm not really sure why everybody's obsessed with raccoons here at SETI! I mean, raccoons are cool and all, but why raccoons specifically? Is it the 'mask'? The cunning personality?
Do raccoons maintain everything over at Berkeley? :)

Somebody fill me in!!

I don't think it won't, with salt and pepper, tastes like eggs to Me, you just add water, nothing is taken away besides water.

A long long time ago, in a far away forgotten post the wife of a rocket scientist asked if raccoons were smarter than rocket scientists. A test was devised. Rocket scientists will eat diet, raccoons did not. How this came about is a raccoon took a shine to the backyard. Or at least that is the short story.

Living out of packets and tins, and powdered eggs is a junk diet that will cause anyone to have ailments.

So you know what is in My house?

Since you've never been here, you speak of something you do not know of, by your own logic, I could say you eat at Burger Castle...

If there was a place named that here in the US...

Only on Tuesdays.

I had them plenty of times in the Army and got broke in with them in basic training. man they were bad!!!

Only thing I liked was S.O.S and it would stick to you until lunch.



Wasn't that White Castle

Do raccoons maintain everything over at Berkeley? :)

Only on Tuesdays.

And I thought Squirrels ran the place. ;)

Even though some say this is not a Raccoon, but a Red Panda, and is it's own family, to Me it looks like a Red Raccoon, if it's not, then convergent evolution must be at work here, or different climates, etc...

I think I saw a red panda at the San Diego Zoo a couple of years ago. They do look like raccoons, but they are not related to them.
