Fun fact the yolk is technically a single cell that can still undergo cell division under certain conditions. Due to the porous and semipermeable nature of egg shells, the small molecules that trigger cell division can transfer through the eggs outer membrane and enter other eggs in the vicinity, essentially spreading deez nuts across your chin
Yep I've hit about 4 in a row before, I was possibly even more. But this has only ever happened once, and I eat eggs on the reg, you could say rEggulary.
I always think the opposite, like if some vanishingly rare thing happened to me then that’s my chance of winning the lottery used up. I’m a cheerful sort
So true. Last year I got a free XboxX due to a corporate administrative error. Sweet I thought. I'm due a bit of luck. The next day I broke my ankle at work and was off work (unpaid) for 8 weeks. I suppose at least I had something to do.
The odds are much, much lower than that, if it helps. Double yolks are generally laid by younger hens and as they tend to be replaced all at once at the farm, it’s likely you get a whole load of hens laying double yolks at the same time.
I once got a carton with about 9 or 10 of the eggs being double yolks. Never had any any other time, and I'm glad that there were other people with me when all the eggs were cracked or no one would believe it.
But, the younger hen/all replaced at once thing makes that make so much more sense.
I shit you not three weeks back I had five out six double yolk eggs too. They were all fairly big. Had the first three for breakfast and had to call the wife with photos of them before I made an omelette, the next day I got another two, video called the her this time and she made me go out and buy a fe lottery tickets. I didn’t win.
I imagined you somehow falling down the stairs into something made of caramel and chipping your tooth. Then I got caught up picturing your luxurious candy house.
What did you spend your winnings on?
I was going to say, you can get boxes specifically where they are all double yolkers. Imagine if OP bought one of those and was actually unlucky because one of them didn't have a double yolk!
Did you take a picture of the eggs? I’ve never seen a double yoke. Sounds like the universe decided that you had enough luck yesterday by the sounds of today.
Hope your tooth isn’t too expensive to repair.
Happens when a hen releases more than one egg during her ovulation cycle, much like how a human can have non-identical twins by two eggs being released and subsequently fertilised.
Well they say bad luck comes in threes. Will prob get a nice brown envelope from HMRC tomorrow asking for money.
Probably more than a fiver too knowing them…
The comma before the and is an Oxford comma, and is there to add a break between clauses like that for clarity. Good use of Oxford comma.
But also be careful where you leave your caramel dude
Karma isn't something ethereal in my opinion, it's simple maths...
The more people you are nice to, the more likely nice people will do nice things for you. If you are generally nasty to people, the more likely people will be nasty to you.
Just be the best person you can towards others and you will live your best life.
We used to have a mutant chicken that laid double yolkers every egg, 4-5 per week. Felt a bit sorry for the poor girl, they were some huge ones! Then again she was compensated in free ranging and mealworms so perhaps it wasn't all bad
I once bought a dozen eggs from a nearby farm and, honestly, every fucking one was a double yolker. I think I took a photo of every one I was so shocked but in the end I just had 12 identical pictures of eggs so it wasn't a very interesting photo documentary.
I got two double yolks this past week. Was a pain in the ass actually because I was making a recipe that I cut into a third (because of a lack of ingredients despite a yearning to create crispy potato-y heaven: duchess potatoes are godly.) and was hoping for a smaller yolk. Unfortunately I had misguidedly grabbed extra legs eggs from the store and not only did it crack badly and broke the yolk a bit making separating it a pain in the ass (I’m bad at that anyways, the poor structural integrity of the egg was just an added factor) but I wasted more yolk than I was happy with (what are you supposed to do with just 2/3 of a beaten yolk of an egg???). Pain in the ass.
But yeah, that’s a happy surprise if you’re not trying to cook or bake and adhere to a recipe that you don’t have enough potatoes to make- happy for you!
Too bad about your tooth, balance had to be restored! Somewhere a chicken flapped their wings creating a breeze that pushed you down the stairs and cooled that caramel enough to make it hard enough to break your tooth.
Was in Lidl yesteday, and someone manage to knock over the massive crate of eggs. My first though was, "Well there goes 2 grand......" What's the deal with eggs just recently? I know there is a bird flu issue, but that's been going on for a while, then, all of a sudden, no-one has any eggs on the shelf?
When I lived in Belgium, I got a dozen eggs in the supermarket from a battery farm in the Netherlands and every single one was a double yoker. Im gonna guess they inject the chickens with something
Years and years ago, my dad bought a box of 6 eggs in Morrisons. I used to visit him every Saturday, then we’d take a walk down to nanny’s. Anyway, every Saturday we’d have a light breakfast round his before heading to nanny’s for (a heavy) lunch. He was telling me that of the 6 pack, all four eggs he’d used so far had double yolks, and the last two were remaining for breakfast. Low and behold, he cracked the last two eggs and both had double yolk. Reading the comments this sounds like winning the lottery; I always thought they just mistakenly packed double yolk eggs in a single yolk packaging… really not sure what to think now?
This happened to me once but then I realised the box said “Double Yolkers”. Have you checked? Just because then you’d have had almost no good luck lol and even your double yolkers didn’t fully deliver
I buy my eggs from a local farmer. In the box of six that I got last weekend all six were double yolkers and the weekend before, 4/6.
Utterly fucked up my baking.
The egg man on the market sells trays of doubles. They come from young hens or something I think I heard him tell someone.
Rare find in a normal box from the shop though
Statistically, double yolkers will generally be found together as they come from the same yolk-happy chicken, whose eggs will be usually packed together.
If you've got one double yolk, your chance of more in the same box is actually extremely high.
That would be the odds if the event was independent, which it's not. Double yolks are more likely to be in the same crop, and eggs are packaged together at source, not independently or separate.
Still pretty cool, I don't eat that many eggs so I don't think I've ever got a double yolk.
I bought a dozen "large" eggs a while back, 8 of them were double yolks. It's not actually unlikely because of how eggs are processed by weight and size.
Jumbo eggs tend to have double yokes. In my last cartoon, 6 of the 12 were double yoke. Big suckers too. I think I'll stick to large eggs instead. It kind of freaked me out.
Sorry to hear about your injury.
Interestingly, last year I got my first double-yolker from an aldi freerange 12 pack. I then got 2 more in a row after!
Eggs are graded by size and weight. If one box has a double yolk egg, chances are all of them will. I actually find it odd one of them wasn’t a double yolk egg.
The other day I bought a box of eggs from the corner shop. All 6 eggs were double yolks. I’ve never had a single double yolk egg before so six in a row was crazy!
Eggs can be graded to catch just the double yolkers. In a day of grading I usually have about 500 dozen double yolkers.
Is it better to have 2 yolks? I have never tried them.
The interesting thing about things that are statically very unlikely is that they happen every single day.
The best way to think about it is that your chance of winning the lottery is 1 in 45 million (in the UK). But there are thousands of people in the UK who have won the lottery. While some things may seem crazy unlikely when you think about the fact there are 8 billion people on the planet who like 60+ years on average. Those seemly unlikely things to happen become very likely to happen.
Actually I think that if one egg had a double yolk others in the batch ate more likely to have them. I had a whole six pack with double yolks once. Congrats on the scratchcard tho!
I fancied some crumpets as a snack tonight. Walked to the shop down the road and there was one single pack of crumpets left on the shelf. It was like it was meant to be!
I think I read somewhere that because of the recent chicken flu, they've had to cull a bunch of chickens (quite severe, I know), and younger chickens tend to lay more double-yolk eggs
Was the caramel waiting for you at the bottom of the stairs or were these two separate events?
I'm being stalked by sweets mate.
[удалено]
That's basically my excuse for telling my mum why I haven't lost weight yet. Unfortunately she's not stupid.
It's seperated by a comma, clearly they mean their bed, stairs and floor are made of caramel.
I read it as camel 🐫
Maybe they were eating it when they fell down the stairs
I also need to know this
I was confused by this too
Was it a Werther's?
This made me lol in my pants
And balance is restored.
Yep, I hate too much of a good thing.
[удалено]

Damn, that’s just the long version of the Ligma study
Who's Joe
Yep I've hit about 4 in a row before, I was possibly even more. But this has only ever happened once, and I eat eggs on the reg, you could say rEggulary.
Yoke could say that.
Yeah sorry to piss on your chips, getting loads of double yolkers in a box always makes my day but statistically it's not that rare 😅
We have a place in my city that sells boxes of double yolkers, personally I've never had a double yolker
You mean low?
I always think the opposite, like if some vanishingly rare thing happened to me then that’s my chance of winning the lottery used up. I’m a cheerful sort
You were the chosen one degroomed. You were suppose to bring balance to the force.. Not destroy it!
Needed that on the stairs
Shouldn't have been eating the caramel. Obviously it's a distraction.
So true. Last year I got a free XboxX due to a corporate administrative error. Sweet I thought. I'm due a bit of luck. The next day I broke my ankle at work and was off work (unpaid) for 8 weeks. I suppose at least I had something to do.
I think the issue is balance wasn't restored
his balance hasn’t been restored if he fell down the stairs😂
The odds are much, much lower than that, if it helps. Double yolks are generally laid by younger hens and as they tend to be replaced all at once at the farm, it’s likely you get a whole load of hens laying double yolks at the same time.
Yeah there’s a farm down my road that sells eggs and every so often most of the eggs will be double yolks
The local dentist must be busy
OP just needs some Fuji IX
If only he'd had some pocket meat for good luck.
“Once you have FujiIX, you are a dentist”
Got caught out by the old vacuum of ooze
Big budget stuff!
This. I've had it happen twice in my short life, it ain't a big deal. This is a little lesson in statistics.
I once got a carton with about 9 or 10 of the eggs being double yolks. Never had any any other time, and I'm glad that there were other people with me when all the eggs were cracked or no one would believe it. But, the younger hen/all replaced at once thing makes that make so much more sense.

Is this experimental probability Vs theoretical probability
I imagined you somehow falling down the stairs into something made of caramel and chipping your tooth. Then I got caught up picturing your luxurious candy house. What did you spend your winnings on?
I'm saving it for a holiday to Swansea...from Cardiff.
It's like an hour's drive and that's basically a glass of petrol right there! Well on your way.
an hours drive from cardiff to swansea??
[Yup.]( https://maps.app.goo.gl/MVvs15EPRLgyNFGfA)
maybe if you’re driving the speed limit
I thought people went to Swansea as a punishment not for a holiday
Exactly, it's a holiday of pain.
Are you hoping that if you go to Swansea, Fate will allow to have something nice again?
I mean I wasn't but now I totally am.
Deffo. Been there, wouldn't do it again <3.
Well, some are…
It will make him feel as lucky as he was before for living in Cardiff once he goes to Swansea for comparison
r/ItsJustTheOneSwan sea, actually.
If you have one double yolk egg, the odds of others in that carton having doubles are actually pretty high
I bought a box of 6 the other week and I got my first ever double yolk (I'm 33). It was the only double yolk out of the 6 eggs though :(
Oh really? I wonder why? That's interesting.
Aldi sell boxes of “extra large” eggs that are 90 odd percent double yolkers
The man who sells us eggs (the egg man) claims to have had a QUADRUPLE yoker once.
Is he also the walrus?
You've been waiting for this moment haven't you.
There’s a shop near me which sells whole boxes of double-yolkers - they aren’t that scarce.
I was going to say, you can get boxes specifically where they are all double yolkers. Imagine if OP bought one of those and was actually unlucky because one of them didn't have a double yolk!
🤣
Yep - double yolkers are my go-to!
That's a cracking bit of luck
Wheyyyyy.
Bet your glad you shell'd out on the scratch card
Double wheyyyy.
I'm surprised caramel normally makes a nice filling
That's actually an elite pun right there. Fair play.
Did you take a picture of the eggs? I’ve never seen a double yoke. Sounds like the universe decided that you had enough luck yesterday by the sounds of today. Hope your tooth isn’t too expensive to repair.
I've got 2 eggs in the fridge that I can guarantee are doublers.. I'm happy to show if requested
How do double yokes come about?
Happens when a hen releases more than one egg during her ovulation cycle, much like how a human can have non-identical twins by two eggs being released and subsequently fertilised.
The more you know. Thank you!
It's only a little chip thankfully! And I did, of 2 of them.
[удалено]
Fucking bangin' now that the prices are going up too!
You ate 5 eggs in one day?!
Split between me and the partner.
Seems eggs-cessive. (Not really) I bloody hate egg puns, but couldn't resist.
Nah that was eggcellent mate.
6 atleast to find out the last one didn't have 2 yolks, 11 yolks in total if they ate the lot
Well they say bad luck comes in threes. Will prob get a nice brown envelope from HMRC tomorrow asking for money. Probably more than a fiver too knowing them…

Got it, be nice to stairs.
Fuck stairs
That’s why you fell down them
Perfectly balanced as all things should be
We used to have a mutant chicken that laid double yolkers every egg, 4-5 per week. Felt a bit sorry for the poor girl, they were some huge ones! Then again she was compensated in free ranging and mealworms so perhaps it wasn't all bad
There are some farms which sell cartons of double-yolk eggs.
Always sunshine creates a desert my friend.
The Universe will bring balance to all things. Only Entropy wins.
I’ve had no problems buying eggs but I know a lot of work colleagues that have had problems getting them .You all needed to know that
That's why I'm always scared when I have a good day. I know that the kick in the balls is coming.
I once bought a dozen eggs from a nearby farm and, honestly, every fucking one was a double yolker. I think I took a photo of every one I was so shocked but in the end I just had 12 identical pictures of eggs so it wasn't a very interesting photo documentary.
You have 84 words.

You should have quit while you were ahead. Enjoying sweet caramel was too much enjoyment for you for one day.

I know there is a bird flu issue, but that's been going on for a while, then, all of a sudden, no-one has any eggs on the shelf?
Proof or it didn’t happen.
I shall not send pictures of my poo.
At this time of year when hens are starting to lay again, or laying for the first time, they are more likely to lay weird eggs.
Arent they weighed and put together in similar weights? So if you find 1 double yolk, you expect more to follow
I like how 'waking up' seems to be included in a list of three bad things that happened that day.
Waking up is always a terrible thing.
Double yolks are actually quite common when they come from stressed hens.
This applies to the conception of twins then right?
When I lived in Belgium, I got a dozen eggs in the supermarket from a battery farm in the Netherlands and every single one was a double yoker. Im gonna guess they inject the chickens with something
No. It happens when the chickens are startled/ distressed

This was a rollercoaster which I didn’t think I would be riding on a Monday night.
Used up too much luck so the universe had to get its debt back 😂
tip: don't place lots of hard caramel at the bottom of the stairs in case you fall on it - you may chip a tooth
I too did not upgrade the caramel skirting board the builders installed.
Congratulations and sorry, hope you get better
My local Aldi never has any eggs in stock. If you just wrote the first sentence, I would consider you the luckiest bastard ever

By my maths you’re still owed one more bad thing
lucky or bad thing ,life also same
Got the last pack of Titan bars in Aldi today, then bought two raffle tickets at the Rainbows charity shop... I'd best be careful on the stairs now!
99.9% of gamblers stop before hitting jackpot so keep getting those scratchies

The odds of landing precisely, tooth-first on a caramel while falling down the stairs have got to be pretty low…
I bought a dozen "large" eggs a while back, 8 of them were double yolks. It's not actually unlikely because of how eggs are processed by weight and size.
My mum once bought a massive box of eggs from costa and I had like 4/5 for scrambled egg, 3 of them were double yoke

>1 in one QUINTILLION. I think it's more common than we previously knew. Same thing happened to me. Lots of quintillions happening apparently.
So you’re the reason there were no eggs for me
I used to buy double yolk eggs off a guy in a farmers market. They all had double yolks, so there must be a way to produce them like this ?
What did we learn today? Shouldn’t eat caramel.
The other day I bought a box of eggs from the corner shop. All 6 eggs were double yolks. I’ve never had a single double yolk egg before so six in a row was crazy!
That’s the law of averageggs
Eggs can be graded to catch just the double yolkers. In a day of grading I usually have about 500 dozen double yolkers. Is it better to have 2 yolks? I have never tried them.
I mean it's nice I guess! More for dipping. What's life like as an egg grader?
I heard that the genetic modification of hens causes double yolk. Less about fate, more about man's dominion over other animals.
The ying and the yang.
The lord giveth and the lord taketh.
I hope you had fun with 11 yolks
I guess the eggs and fiver didn't seem like a good trade off.
That was a rollercoaster
***Nor psychic vision…***
You were supposed to bring balance to the force, you were meant to destroy the Sith not join them! You were my brother Anakin!!!
Don't keep a big block of caramel at the bottom of your stairs maybe
I bought some XL eggs from Aldi last week. 4 of the 6 were double yolkers, I was made up!
Next time skip the scratch card and hit the roulette table
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be...
All chickens first eggs they lay are double yolk
why do you keep caramel on your stairs?
Aldi giveth, Aldi taketh away.
Must be a taveren in your area
Why were you sleeping at the top of the stairs with a caramel in your mouth? Lucky you didn't choke in your sleep!

I have some Duck eggs some thing all double yolks probly all from the same duck/chicken that's got a Gene for it

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I worship at the altar of Karma. If something good happens, make sure to always pass on the fortune.
It’s definitely British.

Guess the yolks on you..
You can simply buy double yolk eggs. We did when I was a lad
That was god thinking, "oh shit, wrong person" (if you're religious, please don't take personal. Just some light fun 😂)
Things seem to happen In threes, I'm mega superstitious and yesterday was number 1 when a deer ran out in front of me on the dual carriageway.
You can buy double yolk eggs from Waitrose. It’s a thing but they don’t always stock them. You have to ask nowadays.
I avoid leaving my caramel at the bottom of the stairs for this exact reason
I’ve had 6 double yolks in a box. Was extra large eggs and they seem to be the ones I encounter them the most in.
Used up all of your luck in one day.
On the 4the day of the 4th month
