Canadians are 'egg-static' over US egg shortage, serving up trolling memes while America scrambles. Here are the funniest ones
With egg costs reaching nearly $10 per dozen in some U.S. cities while Canadian shelves remain fully stocked at prices as low as $1.84 USD, the contrast is too much for the internet to resist. Memes mocking the egg crisis have gone viral, with some comparing the situation to the U.S.'s previous stance on not needing anything from Canada. One viral tweet summed up the irony perfectly:
«MAGA: ‘We don’t need anything from Canada!’ Moments later… ‘U.S. begs nations for eggs’»
Another Canadian added insult to injury by reminding Americans of their northern neighbors' steady egg supply:
«Hi! Canada here. You know, the place where you don't need anything from? Yeah. We have eggs. Endless eggs. The cost? $1.84 USD.»
While Americans are cracking jokes about the absurdity of egg smuggling, Canadians are flexing their grocery bills, and the memes just keep rolling in.
Egg Smuggling: The New Underground Trade?
As if the skyrocketing prices weren’t bad enough, some Americans have resorted to smuggling eggs from Canada and Mexico, turning breakfast staples into black-market gold. Since October, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has reported over 3,700 seizures of poultry products—dwarfing even fentanyl busts over the same period.
Eggs are now being hidden in everything from spare tires to blankets, as desperate consumers attempt to dodge the hefty fines imposed on illegal egg imports. First-time offenders caught smuggling eggs can face penalties of $300, while repeat offenders could see even steeper consequences.
