Eggceedingly slowly....

All white - you can do it very carefully with a hot knife

teach your grannies to suck eggs - then let one suck from each side....

Why do you want to open it if there is nothing inside?

If you want an egg with something inside just go and buy one!

Query:

Does 'breaking' include 'melting'??? Just found a crème egg (so it was never hollow) that was in a jacket pocket hung over a radiator..... The pocket is now full of soft sticky stuff mixed with pocket lint... :-(

If it is hollow does that mean there is a hole inside?

If there is a hole inside and you manage to open the egg without breaking it does that mean there are two half holes? or two smaller holes?

Is it possible to have half a hole anyway?

Now then it is Good Friday today ;-)

My dad used to work for Cadbury's and, yes, you can eat as much as you like while at work (but after a couple of weeks the urge wears off for most people). However, any attempt to take chocolate off site resulted in instant dismissal.

Belated thanks to leadbelly for responding to my earlier query about chocolate factory employees being allowed to eat the product.

As a divergence from chocolate eggs to hens' eggs here's a story which hopefully might raise a smile especially for forum users who've had a hectic time back at work after the Easter break. It probably makes more sense to older forum users who remember the memorable advertising slogan used by the former Egg Marketing Board's in the 1960s and when cars had manual chokes.

A man tried to go to work on an egg, but couldn't get it started and decided to ring a breakdown service (or perhaps the Egg Marketing Board) for advice. The adviser asked "have you tried pulling out the yolk?", so the man went off to do that and then returned to tell the adviser that "it worked and everything's all white now!"

Also, as chocoholics will already know, shops with unsold chocolate Easter eggs, whether hollow or solid, are now selling them off at greatly reduced prices. Earlier today I bought a stash of mini eggs for 25% of their original price. Though the packets have a 'best before' date in late July the eggs will have been consumed long before then! :-)
