Frohe Ostern USA

Ihr könnt euch doch noch daran erinnern, das mittlerweile mehr Eier als Fentanyl über die Grenze zu Mexiko geschmuggelt werden?! Nun.. die USA wären nicht die USA wenn es nicht noch besser bergab gehen würde.

Eggs are so expensive that some Americans are decorating potatoes this Easter

Marshmallows, rocks and pasta shells have also emerged online as popular alternatives

Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way, but people in the U.S. may have to think outside the basket this year.

Eggs tend to be a staple for Easter celebrations, whether they're being decorated with bright paints, rolled across the lawn of the White House, deviled and displayed on a platter, or baked into quiches and served with brunch.

But with U.S. egg prices still stubbornly high amid an outbreak of bird flu in laying hens that led to a severe egg shortage, many Americans are looking for alternatives to some of their favourite traditions. Last month, U.S. egg prices increased again to reach a new record-high average of $6.23 US per dozen, or $8.73 Cdn.

Luckily, influencers have stepped up to the challenge when it comes to decorating eggs, dyeing everything from marshmallows to potatoes.

One popular TikTok video by lifestyle and home design site The Spruce offers five alternatives to decorating real eggs, including painting pasta shells, painting potatoes, and painting clay. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/easter-eggs-u-s-1.7510497
