And the organic eggs that look like they're in styrofoam cups? I like the kraft paper look, but whats up with that? Plain and simple works best for me. I'll most likely choose the organic eggs with the least amount of packaging, made from post consumer waste, recyclable, etc. ...but then my husband does all the grocery shopping so I'm happy with whatever he brings home! Eggs are not usually on his list though since our neighbors have chickens and our own chickens will be old enough to lay soon. I’m certainly not swayed by Mickey or any other corporate images.

They have fantastic omelets. But I digress. Honestly, I am swayed by packaging only if the item is more than a commodity to me. Like if it's a special gift or I am buying something to pamper or take care of myself with. If I'm buying eggs, which I view as commodities and nothing really special, I usually just get the least expensive organic kind at whatever store I'm in at the time. Also, coupons sway me too. If I can get a less expensive egg using a coupon, I'll buy it no matter what the packaging looks like. But Mickey's smile on a package, in and of itself, does not impress me, and neither do the fancy little packages that look very gourmet. But that's just me. Thanks for sharing such interesting information! Love the photos too. First of all, I’m a fan of the Great Eggspectations restaurant chain so this post caught my eye. They have fantastic omelets.
