Did you learn anything new today?
I've, off and on, wondered why some eggs in the carton marked "Large" are smallish, as in no way near as large as the others in the large carton.
So off I went searching for an answer... thinking of course, that there must be some measurement being used to determine the size of an egg.
Yeah, I was wrong. Turns out the net weight of a dozen eggs has to be approximately 24 ounces (2 ounces per egg) for it to be dozen "Large" eggs, but that no egg has to be 2 ounces.
In other words, it isn't the diameter of each egg, or the weight of each egg, but the total weight of a dozen eggs that determines the "size" of that dozen eggs.
You're welcome 😁.
