“I've been going to Walmart everyday & putting 6 eggs in my jacket”: Viral post has internet in stitches

Nowadays, egg prices seem to be on everyone's minds—a topic that makes most everyday items feel like truly luxurious purchases. And where the price hike appears, there always seems to be someone ready and raring to crack a joke about it.

Enter Twitter or X, whatever we conventionally call it, where one particular user had the internet rolling on the floor over his supposed daily egg heist at Walmart.

In one viral tweet, a fridge full of eggs took social media by storm. The post's caption read:

"I've been going to Walmart every day & putting 6 eggs in my jacket."

As egg prices have continued to yo-yo, the concept of passively stealing eggs from a store has connected with users, it seems, in such a way that nobody can help but lighten up over the situation.

The Walmart Egg Smuggling Tweet Goes Viral

Weird, relatable, and oddly specific humor is the lifeblood of the internet, and this tweet checks all of those boxes. As ridiculous as it sounds, the person behind the tweet is highly unlikely to be pulling off a covert egg operation, but the out-and-out strangeness of the image made people believe it only for a second.

But, then there was added comedy to that, with the fridge being full of eggs, making this situation seem out of a sitcom. The humor isn't in the act per se but the notion of a person committing to such a ridiculous plan daily, all for the love of eggs or just beating the grocery store prices.

Egg prices have been fluctuating for a while now, making them one of the more noticeable grocery expenses. This, combined with social media’s love for chaotic yet relatable humor, made this post a viral sensation.

Of course, the best part of any viral post is the internet’s reaction, and this one did not disappoint. People flooded the comments with jokes, egg puns, and some serious concerns about the logistics of storing that many eggs.

One user hilariously commented:

"Hope they don't all hatch at once"

While another was more concerned about freshness, asking:

"Are they still good?"

Baffled by the sheer number of eggs in the fridge, someone joked:

"You might as well start a chicken farm, wth."

People also imagined Walmart’s reaction to the post:

"Walmart after seeing this tweet: 👀," one person quipped.

Acknowledging the struggle of buying eggs these days, a user added:

"After seeing the egg prices…"

Some users took the joke further, turning it into a full-on crime saga:

"The theft of $10,000 worth of merchandise is a felony. Prepare to do hard time," one person warned in mock seriousness.

Another user joked, imagining a future where eggs become a high-security item:

"Walmart is definitely gonna start putting the eggs in those electronics cases"

The egg puns came rolling in too:

"Don't eggspose yourself!" one user warned.

While another imagined the consequences of a well-stocked fridge:

"Imagine closing the refrigerator door a little too hard."

And of course, there was the classic food joke:

"That’s gonna be one hell of an omelet!"

Others took a more serious yet still humorous approach, joking about a new era of grocery smuggling:

"People gonna start smuggling eggs now," one person wrote.

The replies kept rolling in, each one funnier than the last. People joked about Walmart beefing up security, egg hoarders being the new cryptocurrency holders, and the real risk of an entire fridge full of eggs becoming an omelet disaster with one wrong move.

While this egg smuggling mission is a joke, it does highlight the internet’s ability to turn anything into comedy gold. From price hikes to absurd fridge stockpiles, people are always ready to take something relatable and turn it into a meme-worthy moment.

At the end of the day, we are all just trying to survive grocery shopping without breaking the bank or, in this case, breaking any eggs. But if you see someone at Walmart with an unusually bulky jacket, well…maybe just mind your business.
