It’s original content, but I originally submitted it to Sreadsheet Point. Used Python and Pandas for a deeper dive on some data relating to Avian Flu, and this caught my attention.
Not surprising. Gold generally sticks pretty close to inflation so if eggs rose more than the average good, they’re going to outpace gold. This doesn’t mean eggs are more valuable than gold or anything

Interestingly, if you zoom out to 20 years, gold has gone up more than eggs.

In other news, I’d like to start a new index: Cheerios prices. $8.99 for a family size box [at my local Safeway](https://www.safeway.com/shop/product-details.970098256.html). Hopefully I don’t need to state the many reasons this is just incorrigible pricing behavior….

Turns out I should have been throwing gold coins at cars in highschool instead of eggs. Just another way high school me has been proven to be an idiot

I consume 2-4 eggs a day and not even an ounce of gold.

Anyone know where you can offload the eggs you bought in 2020 for these awesome 2025 prices? Asking for a friend…

I’ve just stopped buying eggs entirely until things go back to normal. Assuming they ever go back to normal.

I don’t think eggs are in most people’s 401k or investment portfolio so inconvenient but perhaps irrelevant in the larger scheme of things?

That has to be some sort of a yolk
Big drop in 2024 that must be because of trump right? s
I put my gold and eggs in the same box.
DON”T make my mistake!!!!
Finally! The time has come to pull the trigger and sell all of those eggs that I purchased in 2020!
Good thing I buried all those eggs four years ago! Time to cash out, baby!
Is there an egg index I can invest in?
I have some 4 yr old eggs for sale if interested
I bought some eggs back in 2020 for 2 dollars, but no one is willing to buy them now for any amount of money. This graph is a lie.
Reminds me of Jack London’s Smoke and Shorty. They tried to buy all the overpriced eggs in Dawson in the time of the gold rush.
Trump has a lever in his office that he pulled that made egg prices go up. What an idiot!
