Hhahahahhahahahah brillitant. I totally forgot that and I should know about it, our school forced us Columbus life in our throats every year.

I know this is just a stereotyupe but it doesn't stop me from laughing at it. The again Marigold isn't your "normal" girl.
--- Quote from: Akima on 03 Jan 2012, 01:21 ---If you buy eggs at the market in China, they are sold loose by weight, so theoretically you could buy just one. Are eggs sold loose anywhere in the USA?
--- End quote ---
Well, I don't live in the USA but you can buy some loose eggs in some small supermarkets here in Sweden but the bigger ones just have 6,10,12 egg-boxes. I've seen 25-boxes before, We used to buy those when we were 5 in the house. But yeah, I've never really seen anyone buying less than six. I just think it's kind of useless to buy less than 6 since you always need eggs (Well... that is if your diet allows you to eat eggs).

Also, there should be a band called "Cookie Time is Cancelled".
And thirdofly - Akima, I don't think I've ever seen eggs sold by the half dozen. I'm pretty sure all I've seen is 12 or 18 per carton.

Well, I cant speak for the USA, but here in europe I've only ever seen 6, 8, 10 or 12 packs of eggs.
Makes sense to me, too, since eggs break easily, thus selling them without a container is kinda, well, not very practical.

--- End quote ---
Just by the by, there is at least one brand now that sells cartons of ten eggs.

It's been possible to buy eggs by the half dozen in Sydney since forever ("forever" being defined in my case as "since I was a kid"). In fact, you used to be able to rip the carton of a dozen eggs in half yourself and buy six that way. Maybe in some stores you still can.
I agree that I can't ever see myself buying less than half a dozen eggs... I would always find a use for whatever I didn't initially plan to use.
"Cookie Time is Cancelled" would have to be the most emo name for a band I've ever heard. It makes me kind of teary just thinking about it.
Finally... is it really possible to overdress for making cookies? Well... yes. But I think Hannelore's dress is perfect for cookie-making, truely. :)
Skewbrow:
We are also members of the metric majority, but locally sold egg cartons usually have 6. I do remember those 12/18 cartons from the US. They either bake (or make pancakes/waffles) more often than we do, or they simply have bigger refrigerators (or both). Some places offer 2x5 cartons (or at least used to), but a 2x3 has a sturdier feel to it (a concern with something as fragile as eggs). It is also easier to pack into a shopping bag.
