A chick hatched from a broken egg right in front of the empty grocery store shelves. It looked around, dazed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy is everyone looking at me like I\u2019m some kind of VIP?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A shopper gasped, \u201cIt\u2019s an egg! A real egg! We\u2019ve been lining up since 5 a.m.!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another whispered, \u201cThere\u2019s an egg shortage. Your value has skyrocketed. You\u2019re basically a luxury item now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chick clutched its tiny chest. \u201cSo you\u2019re telling me I cracked into\u2026 inflation?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Someone tried to pay $50 for the eggshell. Another shouted, \u201cTag it! Tag the egg! #Eggfluencer!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chick blinked. \u201cI cracked under pressure\u2026 and hatched into hyperinflation<\/em>?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n It waddled off, muttering, \u201cI just wanted to be reborn for Easter, not become the face of grocery store chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A chick hatched from a broken egg right in front of the empty grocery store shelves.
