Did someone think that putting "1.6 million dozen" in the headline actually makes the number somehow easier to comprehend? It's over 19 million.

you're right that it doesn't, but they come in dozens as the standard economic unit.

It's Texas, someone in your neighborhood is probably trying to give them away.

Very true, somewhere nearby are crazy chicken people, they will have eggs from the most spoiled hens imaginable.

Ive not seen HEB impacted by this, anyone else see their name mentioned anywhere?

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

The brands are listed in the article. I don't see any familiar HEB brands.
