Sizing of Eggs
Size tells you the minimum required net weight per dozen eggs. It does not refer to the dimensions of an egg or how big it looks. While some eggs in the carton may look slightly larger or smaller than the rest, it is the total weight of the dozen eggs that puts them in one of the following classes:
Size or Weight Class Minimum net weight per dozen
Jumbo 30 ouncesson had
Extra Large 27 ounces
Large 24 ounces
Medium 21 ounces
Small 18 ounces
Peewee 15 ounces
The above is from the USDA website. Apparently, the phenomenon is that eggs are getting HEAVIER.
LOL
I'm pretty good at judging weight by feel. If I had a sensitive enough scale and had known in advance to weigh the size they were a month or two ago, I'm confident I could prove they're smaller in every dimension.
At least around here that's the case. I don't know where the OP lives but I had already noticed it before this thread went up, and was consciously altering my shopping because of it.
