Here is my wenige Wörter (almost wordless) Wednesday post. I get that in Germany a dozen eggs is a pack of 10. Although most of the time organic eggs are sold in packs of 6. Which is good because my new German fridge is made to hold 7 eggs. Why 7 egg holders, eludes me?
eggzactly what’s it for?

Because 5 would be too few and 8 would be too many! LOL
That’s genius! I love it, hee hee.
I’ve always thought the Germans were odd – now I have evidence.
So what would you do with the 3 extra eggs that come in the 10 pack?
Ugh, on another note, Obama’s momentum is waning due to the whole Reverend Wright sermon. The media is totally pouncing on this.
I live in Munich too and Wow you´re lucky to have 7 places for eggs, my fridge has none !
Ich mag dein Blog
yeah, it’s hurting him quite a bit. it’s not the racial slant, rather the ‘anti-american’ slant. they say his pastor of 20 yrs has been spewing hatred, so how does that affect obama? and paired with his wife’s anti-american slip up taken out of context, it’s not good for obama.
but who knows what it’ll be next week…
Wow, that is German efficiency at it’s finest. It’s also reminiscent of the “Father of the Bride” where Steve Martin buys hot dogs and hot dog buns:

I’ll tell you what I’m doing. I want to buy eight hot dogs and eight hot dog buns to go with them. But no one sells eight hot dog buns. They only sell twelve hot dog buns. So I end up paying for four buns I don’t need. So I am removing the superfluous buns.
@Gardner – Love that scene!
@ Mai: The last fridge had no egg holders either. I guess I shouldn’t complain.
Thanks! From a writer, that means a lot! We’ll have to meet up sometime!
@Gardner: Ha! It’s a universal phenomenon.

Hm, I think that makes sense! Maybe it was designed for people who buy these 6-egg-packs… but normally you buy eggs not when you already run out of them but normally when you see.. hey… just one left so i have get new eggs soon.
So… your last egg is still in the fridge but you can put in your new ones too
