This Dude Losing His Mind Over The US Not Having Egg Cups Is 100% On Point

Good lord, when will the madness end? 

You might think that America is culturally pretty close to us, minus a proper sense of self-deprecating humour and all the gigantic arachnids. You’d be wrong.

First it was kettle-gate (they don’t have them). Then it was the whole chocolate-milk-comes-from-brown-cows-thing. (Don’t get us started on the great sausage roll debacle of 2017.)

And now – now! – we have learned that Americans don’t have egg cups???

WHY?!

A Scottish bloke was the first to twig to the gaping void in the culinary lives of our US cousins, tweeting the following bewildered series:

I’VE JUST BEEN INFORMED AMERICANS DO NOT HAVE EGG CUPS AND I AM SO ANGRY RN

WHERE THE HELL DO YOU PUT YOUR EGGS

— moth dad (@innesmck) July 9, 2017

ok ok seriously though we did not go through 300 MILLION YEARS OF EVOLUTION to have an egg just roll around on a fucking plate

But even after this string of devastating realisations, nothing could have prepared him – or us – for the horrible, horrible truth. 

The only eggs we commonly eat are hardboiled & sliced (like on a salad) or scrambled/omelets. Poached eggs are common for eggs benedict tho

Americans order fried eggs over easy when they want to dip bread in runny yolk. Sad!

I am going for a walk, this is too messed up

An entire continent, living without the simple joy of dipping a toast soldier in a runny egg. Truly, the tragedy of our time. 

And – wait, what? They don’t have CUSTARD?

I’ve asked & it’s really true. The most horrifying thing is they seem fine about it. It’s chilling, but then they don’t have custard either.

Not cool, America. Not. Cool.
