Two eggs in a recent egg carton:

1) One egg seems stuck in and so I work it out from the cardboard carton and crack it, revealing a mostly empty shell and a small pool of white, gummy candy-like substance sitting at the bottom of it.

. . . 

(Apparently, it had subtly cracked somewhere farther up the eggshell, and the rest had drained out some time ago.)

. . . 

2) With another egg from that same carton, the top comes off it when I go to remove it, revealing a single yolk settled at the bottom, and no white around it whatsover.

. . . 

(Apparently, a sort of similar phenomenon had also happened to this egg, although its bottom half was also firmly stuck into the carton to the point where I had to tear out that section of the cardboard carton so I could remove it and throw out what was left of the egg, thus also ruining my chance for carton-reuse, which I do by bringing old cartons in to the university butcher shop so people can repack larger flats of eggs into something more manageable, which those patrons have requested and which the butcher shop managers facilitate by accepting donations of old reusable egg-cartons.)
