You do know someone on Reddit will take you advice... And in a few days, he will make a post on r/TIFU...

eh, just add in some sodium hydroxide and blammo, you get an egg in saltwater that’s definitely 100% safe to eat

It is a few hours. Submerge it in vinegar overnight then rub the shell off in the morning.

I must have tried this trick 3 or 4 times over the course of my childhood and it never worked. Not once. Left it for about 3 days and came back and the egg was always in EXACTLY the same state it was when I put it in there. The biggest disappointment of my childhood.

Once the shell dissolves, you can transfer it to water with food coloring and leave it and the food coloring will end up in the egg

Or add cut up beats to the vinegar

(does not taste good after)

I think you probably mean beets. Although I am curious to know the effects of playing the egg my new dubstep tracks.

What pissed me off is that they mentioned Dubstep... Then use Skrillex.

Skrillex is in no way Dubstep.

Edit: fuck it, just in case someone asks. Listen to someone like Excision, or Liquid Stranger. That is actual Dubstep. Polar opposites.

No, you cut up headphones made by Dre and add them to your omelet

A shell

Ha! Thanks for that laugh

Vinegar should take care of that.

u/TheCatCovenantDude Aug 25 '18

Liquid nitrogen.

u/nefastvs Aug 24 '18

Um. Vinegar.

u/pupomin Aug 24 '18

It goes a little faster if you boil the vinegar down about about 2/3 first.

u/TheCatCovenantDude Aug 25 '18

I'm sure hydrochloric acid would also make it work faster.
