White House Easter Egg Roll Sparks Scrambled Egg Debate Amid National Shortage

This Easter, while Americans are being told to skip the eggs due to sky-high prices and bird flu shortages, the White House has decided: Let them roll eggs.

Not fake ones. Not plastic ones.

30,000 real eggs.

That’s more than ten times the usual 25 dozen used in years past. Because apparently, when there's a national shortage, the best solution is to host a luxury egg lawn party.

Farmers are divided. One called it a “waste” during a crisis. Another says using fake eggs would be a betrayal of tradition. Meanwhile, the Egg Board—yes, that’s a real thing—had internal debates about whether burning through thousands of eggs for a photo op might look… a little bad.

But optics be damned. The White House will proudly feature small and medium-sized eggs that aren’t sold in stores, as if that somehow justifies it.

Sure, they’re not edible for you, but they’re apparently perfect for lawn sports.

So while families stretch budgets, skip breakfasts, and stare at $7 egg cartons, Washington is busy scrambling its priorities—literally.

At this point, the only thing more fragile than our egg supply might be the public’s patience.
