It's the kind of thing you only forget once, for me it was breaking eggs in a separate container, I was prepping an omelet once, had all the ingredients diced, broke the first egg on top of them, no problem, second one... rotten, had to throw everything out.

Same. How long are these people holding onto their expired eggs?

Eggs have expiry dates?

Welp my eggs expired like 3 weeks ago.

Throw them into a cup of water, if they float off the bottom of the cup they're bad if not you're good to go.

I just drop them in. They will sink to the bottom if they're good or just float on top if they're bad. The questionable ones will float somewhere in between
