Easter Eggs Are So Expensive Americans Are Dyeing Potatoes
Briefly

In response to rising egg prices impacting the U.S. market, Young's Jersey Dairy in Ohio has revamped its annual Easter egg hunt. For the first time in 40 years, the farm will use plastic eggs filled with ride coupons instead of real eggs, which has drawn positive responses from the community. Despite a general decline in egg prices, concerns about costs remain prevalent among consumers, prompting creative alternatives for Easter celebrations. Young's commitment to the event ensures that it continues to delight local families during the holiday season.
For the first time in the 40-year history of the hunt, the eggs laid on the green grass of the farm will be made of plastic, filled with a coupon for a free ride on their carousel.
This year will look different as Young's Jersey Dairy adapts to rising egg prices by switching from real eggs to plastic alternatives for their Easter celebration.
Even as egg prices are dropping nationwide, the anxiety about the cost persists, and many consumers are getting creative at finding substitutes.
The responses have been pretty positive; I think people were quietly scared we'd cancel the event because of egg prices currently.
