Really, 4444? Cracked mentioned this product on January 10, 2010. This post went up in 2007. And they didn’t even make the same joke about it.

I worked at a resturant salad bar back in the mid-70′s and we used these “eggs” for egg slices. Needless to say, this technology has been around for a LONG time.

Miss C.â€“ Thanks for the link. Some minor clarifications are in order, though.

Those really ARE long eggs, packaged by a Japanese company, as some of the commenters pointed out. Those are real hens, not photoshopped. (I used MS Paint and Roxio Photosuite 4, but thatâ€™s a minor point.) Your assessment is correct, it is definitely not a hoax. Heh.

Here’s what you have to do, Barney. Google “Strutts News Services” and you should turnip several links to stories from SNS. All in fun.

I forgot to mention “fill the larger bag with the egg whites” then seal it and cook it a second time!

These are real. I saw a TV show about how they are made. First seperate a ton of eggs. then scramble the yokes and pour them into long flexible plastic bags. These are steam cooked. Then they squeeze the cooked yokes out, cut them to size and put them in a second bag (which is a larger diameter)exactly the size shown in the photo. The new bag is sealed and steam cooked a second time. The process was developed of food caterers who needed thousands of perfect egg slices for a nice presentation.

Hi,

First time listener, long time caller…..

I’m sure in this case the egg came first, then the chicken. I don’t find it hard to believe this is an actual product. Everything about this egg, of course, is processed. Similar to the EggBeater brand of scrambled eggs in a carton. Someone had the bright, albeit funny idea of concocting a long chicken to explain a long egg.

I consider it to be amusing. I don’t consider it to be amusing of people who took this picture and article seriously….lol.

in regards to the man-made eggs uDjin mentioned… at least some of the companies making them have been using highly toxic chemicals.

Real product of course, just dressed up with a better story line.

long eggs and chickens are a variant of the “long horse” meme that’s out there on the web. these long eggs are made from soy and sold as a slice-worthy garnish for udon soup (and other noodle treats). little kids have them in their lunches too in japan.

it’s not intentionally a hoax, but can turn into one when folks post links as credible. but in this case, the title of the post ends with a question mark, implying that the post might be fully credible.

the fake eggs from china (man-made eggs) turned out to be an actual hoax.

Well of course this is a joke. And it’s really funny.

“When they go to roost after peckinâ€™ around all day, we gotta strap their fannies to the top of the cage soâ€™s they donâ€™t fall over backward.â€

And yes, the packaging is written in Japanese.

Would it make a lot of sense that longer hens make longer eggs? Hahahaha.

Thank you for this funny posting!

It’s a hoax. I notice the writing, looks Japanese. Leave it to the Japanese to create this egg product. The Japanese sure love those eggs.

I used to work at Poppin’ Fresh Pies (restaraunt owned by Pillsbury) and we actually used these with a special slicer to make garnishes for salads. I forget who made them but they were U.S. made.

There is/was a device out there that makes eggs square.

perfectly do-able of course, as any one who has ever made a Grosvenor pie will attest.

Like a Melton Mowbrey pork pie, except rectangular, and with a cross section of cooked egg in the middle.

I didn’t think of it as a hoax, I just considered it a joke. Bunk wouldn’t expect anyone to take it seriously.

That “quote” sounds exactly like what a sarcastic farmer would tell a guileless inquirer to have fun at his expense.

You do realize this is a hoax. No? I can go into great detail, but let’s start with the fact that there is no ‘Strutts News Services’ and the author of the article is one ‘Bunk Strutts’.

Holy crap! I love eggs. I could eat one of those like a tube of cookie dough!

Yep, sure it is a long-long hoax. First of all, an egg cannot be long, since its design is for the purpose of structural integrity and safeness. A long egg, on the other hand, is not strong to support itself under the weight of a hen. Secondly, it is seen from the picture that the long chickens were photoshoped, some of the areas are visibly cloned. I’ve heard though that Chinese are now making almost exact copies of the eggs, that look and taste just like real ones, but in reality are man made. So, my thought is that this eggSage is a produce of that chinese firm that creates artificial eggs. Nice try!
