“Yolkidding me”: Perfectly round egg goes viral online
In what is perhaps one of the most eggs-traordinary discoveries in Australian grocery history, a perfectly round egg has been found laying in a Victorian supermarket.
3AW Football host Jacqui Felgate shared the remarkable find to her Instagram followers, revealing she had been sent footage of the egg that was taken at a Woolworths in inner-city Melbourne.
"From a follower: This is so random, but I thought I would share this eggcellent find," the post read.
"In our egg carton we found a round egg.
"After a quick google realised it was one in a billion, literally one in a billion eggs are round and the last one that was found sold for over $1400!”

Naturally, Instagram users flocked to the post, with a lot questioning how an egg could ever sell for four figures.
"Yolkidding me," one wrote.
We know what to eat to stay healthy. So why is it so hard to make the right choices?
"Folks buying eggs for $1400? That’s eggtortion. 😩," another said.
However, many of the comments sympathised with the chicken who created the perfectly round — and relatively large — incredible egg.
“All I could think was that poor chicken 🐔 😬,” one said.
“The poor chicken that squeezed that one out 😮,” another added.
One even questioned the sphere’s authenticity, commenting, “Is it really an egg 🥚??”
Considering perfectly round eggs have earned finders big bucks in the past, it was no surprise that someone told Felgate her find was a thing of fortune.
“It’s your lucky day get a ticket to the 60 mill tonight.” they said.
Only time will tell if Felgate’s fortunate find will bring her prosperity or wind up scrambled, fried or poached.
