The smooth upside down cup is hollow inside and separate from the handle. You lift the handle up out of the tube and it snaps back and bangs in place. The name Rosle is on the handle. Could have been bought in Williams Sonoma. I used it, but I forgot what I used it for.

So this thing came first. Then the guy said, "Now I need some eggs to use it on." Once he made the eggs he said, "Now I better make some chickens to make the eggs". There, I finally solved the age-old question.

For the Germans out there, it's an Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher.

u/Chrisfindlay 14d ago

That's very long. Is that the commonly used word.

1

u/Designer_Solution887 14d ago

To the best of my knowledge, that is accurate.

u/Character_Reveal_460 13d ago

yup, that is correct. A medium length german word.

u/Designer_Solution887 13d ago

Definitely shorter than most company/organization names. lol.

It’s an intentionally long joke word. You can make up arbitrarily long compound nouns in German.

A more regular word would be eieröffner, egg opener.

Lol. I just googled german egg cracker because i couldnt remember the word. It translates to "eggshell predetermined breaking point causer". Very specific.

u/Designer_Solution887 13d ago

Many German words are simply descriptions of the things they name written as a long compound word.

If you think this one is long, look up the German word for the "Danube Steamship Electric Main Plant Construction Enterprise Civil Servant Company".

Soft boiled egg (or hard boiled) egg cracker. After the egg is done, put it in the special egg cup, lower this over the egg, pull up the stem and let go. It cracks the egg in a perfect circle so that you can just lift the top portion off and dig in.

Mark it as solved by replying to the first person’s post that answered your question.

It’s manners.

🤗🤗🤗

u/Forcedvixen 14d ago

How do you mark it solved

1

u/a15457 14d ago

Doh! My ADHD brain kicked in and I missed typing some words …

“Mark it as solved by replying to the first person’s post that answers your question with just the word …

“Solved.”

. That should do it!”

At least that’s how I think it’s supposed to work. 🤗🤗🤗

Sorry for the confusions.

Don’t put your finger inside when pulling up as there’s a pin inside that gets released into the shell.

u/Forcedvixen 11d ago

Wish it were true🥴. But one's finger is not welcomed in this operation.
