You can now buy ‘sacks of wet eggs’ in Morrisons – 9 shell-shocked responses

John Plunkett. Updated September 17th, 2020

Eggs come in many forms. Fried. Scrambled. Hard boiled. Some of them even turn into chicks.

But ‘sacks of wet eggs’ is something we hadn’t seen before. And neither had @TrumpetSexy over on Twitter who spotted them for sale in Morrisons and naturally shared her horror on Twitter.

My local Morrison’s is selling actual sacks of wet eggs. This is the most wretched and cursed item I have ever witnessed pic.twitter.com/bghKxOUxXu

And that wasn’t all.

Also it’s in the meal deal section, which implies this is considered lunch ?

Does this count as a main, or a snack??

I have so many questions, and no answers

And here are our favourite things people said about it.

I want to nonchalantly eat this for lunch at work, just once. Just casually lift my egg sack out of the fridge and start powering through them at my desk

Buy them all. Release them into bathtub. Get into tub.

Report back what super powers you gain.

There is clearly more than 5 eggs there

— Sean Laughlin (@slaughlin_photo) September 16, 2020

yes, but only 5 of them are boiled, and you have to figure out which ones

— Taming Fred Savage (@FredTaming) September 16, 2020

Sorry but this is sending me. Thats not 5 eggs, and the allergy warning. WARNING! CONTAINS: egg pic.twitter.com/talvOAy7qZ

These people thought they had the answer.

The boring answer will be that this is the pack that the staff were meant to open up and split up into smaller packs on the deli. It’s not meant to be there on a shelf like this, basically.

I worked in the deli at Morrison’s briefly when I lost my job because of Covid. It’s the stock that would usually be on the salad bar. I spent many an hour putting huge sacks of grated cheese into pots thankfully I never got egg duty

i love it when a store just sells inventory you’re not meant to see, you get to see what your egg salad sandwiches come from, plastic bags of mayo, sacks of preboiled egg, bread labeled “FOOD SERVICE ONLY”

— Rev. Poppy Haze (@poppy_haze) September 16, 2020

Ours has been doing this since March – I’m assuming it’s something to do with the self serve salad bit being unavailable/underused. Also big laughs at them pretending there’s only 5 eggs in there when it’s clearly a bag of 48 pic.twitter.com/6jerilSn22

Here’s what Morrisons had to say (although we think this tweet might now have been deleted).

Well, maybe (definitely not, though).
