JD Vance was roundly mocked online over a trip to the supermarket where he bemoaned the steep price of eggs — and botched the photo opp.
The Republican vice presidential nominee stopped by a supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvania, with his sons over the weekend to illustrate how grocery prices have been impacted by “Kamala Harris’s policies” when he claimed a dozen eggs cost $4.
The problem? When footage of the visit emerged, Vance was quickly called out by viewers who spotted the price tag of a dozen eggs behind him was actually $2.99.

He said his three kids—7,4 and 3 years old—eat “14 eggs every single morning”. Either he’s an idiot or the toddlers are training to fight Dolph Lundgren.
That’s still almost 3 dozen short of Gaston, they’ll never get large at this rate.
That’s more than enough protein for three young children .

They obviously each eat one egg per year of age.
I’m not Cool Hand Luke. I can’t eat fifty eggs.
Not with that attitude, you can’t.
Have you even seen the price of eggs? They’re either $2.99 or $4 and I can’t just ask my friends for all their chickens’ output
¿Por qué no los dos?
I mean … Vance is an idiot, but I have three boys. Between me, my wife, and my three kids, we each eat 2-3 eggs worth of scrambled eggs some mornings. 5x2 is 10, 5x3 is 15. That’s right in line with his claims, if he counts himself and wife, which he probably is and just being an idiot again.
That said, I don’t have eggs EVERY DAY. FFS my cholesterol would be sky high. I do buy 10-15 dozen eggs at a time, though, because the local farmer’s market sells 15 dozen for $25-30 and eggs will keep for 6-10 weeks in the fridge that is consistently the same low, near freezing temp (perfect for the outdoor, secondary fridge).
Cholesterol intake is not directly correlated with blood cholesterol. Eat all the eggs you want. The bigger problem is saturated and trans fat.
Such a transphobic statement.
One of those egg council creeps got to you too eh?
I assume that was a snide remark and not meant to be serious.D’oh!I’m just a person who has maintained a keto diet in the past and went down this rabbit hole before.
It was a Simpsons reference
Well then, the egg is on my face!! Struck that out. Thanks.
I could totally have gone for a five-egg omelette or scrambled eggs every morning when I was a kid.
My mother was not going to do that every morning, though.
OMG. His kids must shit solid bricks.

I am sure the actual quote is even stupider than I can imagine but:
Three kids. Let’s assume 3 sunny side up eggs for him, 7, and 4. That gets 9. Then whatever his couch eats so let’s say 10-11. Then another 3 or 4 for a “big pile of scrambled eggs” for the 3 year old and for the 4 year old to actually eat because yucky runny eggs. And then whatever his servants are able to sneak off to feed themselves.
It is very reasonable for a household that doesn’t care about money or food waste.
Did he just add their ages together? Does that mean he eats 40 eggs each morning? Fucking weirdo
