Can anyone think of a legitimate application for this?

intentListener · 2012-11-11T01:57:04+00:00

If it's a legitimate application, the egg has a way of shutting that down.

warmpita · 2012-11-11T01:25:06+00:00

Stack-able deviled eggs, obviously.

theoneandonly111 · 2012-11-10T23:45:34+00:00

Well... Making square eggs, I guess?

1985jack000 · 2012-11-11T03:16:26+00:00

A legitimate application would be, anything, if you are Japanese.

malkil · 2012-11-11T03:21:30+00:00

This was my first thought.

Mokinko · 2012-11-11T00:59:22+00:00

To see how many eggs could fit inside a box? I really don't know. To stack them for easier storage.

rain927 · 2012-11-11T02:03:32+00:00

Hah! My Memory and Cognition professor brought one of these in without telling us what it was and had us try to figure out what it was. Pretty interesting exercise.

I don't actually remember why she said one would need square eggs, though...

roblinx · 2012-11-11T02:16:47+00:00

No, but we had one, and it was fun.

The use for this? To make square eggs. Dua.

JZXR · 2012-11-11T02:44:26+00:00

when you have to stock up on eggs for the velocirapture, it is easier to stack em when they are in cubes over spheres.

userbelowisamonster · 2012-11-11T02:48:28+00:00

I would give my kids sliced olives and have them make dice for fun.

downvotesanimals · 2012-11-11T02:50:27+00:00

It would fit more nicely on a piece of bread.

bittershanks · 2012-11-11T02:54:40+00:00

My mom had one of those back in the 70's. My suspicion is mainly that it was a gimmick, but she said she used it to make boiled eggs fit on the sandwich bread better. :)

I HAD ONE OF THESE! They are cool. Pointless, but cool. If you soak an unpeeled hardboiled egg in vinegar, you can press it square without breaking the shell. Great for confusing people.

Have you ever eaten a Big Breakfast at McDonald's, and the eggs were square? I have. And now I know how that happened...

Detox1337 · 2012-11-11T05:12:34+00:00

Well you could make a sandwich with sliced egg that makes it into the corners of the bread.

Sandwiches. You could cut them in to square slices so you don't have a bunch of overlap

Sizzerdip · 2012-11-11T05:28:23+00:00

Greater efficiency; you can pack more eggs per cubic foot. You see, when I take dozens of hardboiled eggs with me I find hardly have room for my other egg products.

androidscantron · 2012-11-11T05:30:24+00:00

Yes, so you can have a square fucking egg damnit.

SergentSerger · 2012-11-11T05:31:00+00:00

Japan has square watermelons. They're easier to store. Same with this square egg, easier to fit in a bento or a Tupperware container

sheelaymignon · 2012-11-11T05:31:22+00:00

I HAD ONE OF THOSE!! I fucking loved hard boiled eggs as a girl, and my mom found this exact device. took way too long to form the egg to be practical as any kind of like "salad decoration", but it was fun the few times I used it. This, plus one of those wire egg slicers...hours of fun.

I was a fucking weird kid.

Goashai · 2012-11-11T06:43:04+00:00

Well it's obviously for egg stacking competitions. So far they haven't really taken off but now with this invention they might grow some popularity! Im really excited about this.

Lemon_Tile · 2012-11-11T06:44:07+00:00

So you can slice it up and put it on a sandwich or something!

kyle1qaz7ujm · 2012-11-11T06:45:10+00:00

You can slice a hard boiled square egg into slices, and fill the corners on bread!

EuropeanLady · 2012-11-11T06:45:57+00:00

To store the hard-boiled eggs more neatly.

mermalerm · 2012-11-11T06:47:17+00:00

If you only have one arm, this would make egg cutting much easier

HOLY DAMN! Six years ago I found an entire rack FULL of these things at World Market and bought 12, gave them to every member of my family and a few friends. To this day, I can go to any person's given house and get a square egg whenever I want, however I want (mostly squared). Can you say that, OP? No you cannot.

werewolfchow · 2012-11-11T06:56:11+00:00

It makes a square egg, duh.

trullette · 2012-11-11T07:00:10+00:00

Novelty. Bought one years ago :)

The6thExtinction · 2012-11-11T07:00:26+00:00

I saw an egg cracker once, it's meant to create a perfect crack around the egg's circumferance. If you can't crack an egg, preparing food may be too complex for you.

edzz · 2012-11-11T07:01:28+00:00

Give me a Matini with 2 egg cubes please.

batmansthebomb · 2012-11-11T07:03:13+00:00

Well, probably making cubed eggs. That would be my guess.

never0101 · 2012-11-11T07:05:28+00:00

Its most useful for cubing eggs.
