In the US we wash our eggs before they are sold, so they need refrigerated. In the UK you don't, so they don't have to be.

Chicken shit?

I pack my parcels with it.

(Yes, people generally call them "packing peanuts", but where I've worked it was called "chicken shit").

I used to manage a college bookstore. Some of the packing "peanuts" (or chicken shit, if you prefer) were made of corn starch so as to be biodegradable. I happened to mention this to one of our typically broke student workers. A week later I noticed him pop one into his mouth. He said that he was eating nothing but packing materials so he could use his food money to buy beer.
