Day 120 - April 30th

Today I opened a new box of eggs which I had recently bought from Tesco and was surprised to find they were white rather than the usual common brown sold in the UK. 

A quick google revealed that Tesco is selling more white eggs now as the national shortage continues. Unprecedented demand and a shortage of eggs has led Tesco to stock more of the rarer white variety. The eggs have been part of the chain's standard egg range since early 2020 and were initially introduced because more people were eating at home as well as baking at the start of the pandemic. Now, following an initial trial, Tesco has decided continue to sell white free range eggs which had normally been for the restaurant trade.
