Unfortunately I think the answer is yes. If people wouldn't pay that because it's a ridiculous price they wouldn't be selling it for that.

Lol....used to work at a huge paper mill. They had a cafeteria. I used to get some nice clean 5gal buckets for free from the cafeteria. They had come into the cafeteria loaded with hard boiled eggs. I thought this was kinda strange , but the employee there told me they would buy them from their food supplier (sysco) for just a tad over the cost over raw eggs. Those ones in the OP's post are seriously overpriced. It costs very little for hard boiled and peeled eggs with modern food processing equipment.

No doubt, 8 bucks a dozen is crazy..buuuut, if you're traveling and can't cook, 3 for breakfast, 3 for lunch, 2 dollars per meal.

I don't know if I'd label people as lazy (or stupid) based upon a single purchase. People can be busy creatures, each with different values and skill sets. Like Clint Eastwood said, "A man has to know his limitations". In the case of the eggs. Perfectly hard cooked/peeled eggs,, is fairly quick and simple....if you know the tricks. If you: - don't know
- are too busy to find out
- need something in a hurry
- have the money
- a product is readily available
that could be a perfect solution. If you've ever seen some of the unappetizing results of improperly prepared hard cooked eggs you'd know what I mean.

But I just can't get past the "don't know how, and too busy to find out" points. We're talking about hard boiling eggs here, not rocket science.

They come from Boneless Skinless chickens Hahahahaha......no doubt. I worked as a maintenance mechanic for five years in a plant for a major corporate "food" producer....I will never eat those again. (no I won't openly bash them in public) I'm sure if saw what was going on in any of the food manufacturer's plants that I would have to stop eating their stuff too. Then I'm reminded of my childhood and the sandbox days, no telling what we've actually consumed. Regardless I believe that I can taste/sense TLC in home grown and cooked food and meals. Nothing even comes close to the taste of my garden grown vegetables. I need to raise some chickens and maybe rabbits.
Keep your boots dry and your powder too.
I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it.
Best Regards,
JT

I remember when they started selling bottled water.......everyone thought it was ridiculous to sell water! Now look at the bottled water market....It's the convenience.

Does kind of come down to.....Do you make your own trapping lure or are you lazy and buy it??? Do you grow your own garden or buy things?? It's kind of one them things like the chips and candy bars right by the check out.. Handy so I'll grab it and then of course the price is what it is because you want the convenience.. The flip side of this is I often make my own things. Sometimes I'm sure it cost me more than if I'd bought it. I like doing things for myself. Them eggs at that price I'd walk by them.. I would bet though if coon were selling at 1979 prices. Some one told a trapper them eggs was a sure deal bait. they'd be grabbing them up at that price.
