People stare.
I don’t care.

Why Freshness Matters More Than You Think
I used to rely on the classic egg test:
Sinks = good
Floats = bad
Turns out, that’s only half true.
An egg can sink and still be old.
As eggs age, air slowly enters through the shell. They don’t instantly spoil — they just lose quality.
- Whites become thinner
- Yolks flatten
- Flavor fades
The Julian date reveals what the float test can’t: how tired your eggs really are.
After the “quiche incident,” I started tracking pack dates. Sometimes I even write directly on the carton.
“Packed: Day 118”
“Use by: Day 148”
Once, I added a sad face next to the toss date.
Dramatic? Maybe.
Effective? Absolutely.
