I can't say this isn't cool.


redditcruzer

Yeah..didn't really seem stupid to me. Just a fun shape without too much weirdness done.


bellebeast9485

I think it'd fit in containers better too.


TheLandOfConfusion

and we can finally use hardboiled eggs as a building material like bricks the way I've always wanted to do


fatkiddown

We could make eggloos..


Just-trying-2-exist

Stack them like Leggos


Stucklikegluetomyfry

Stack them for a balanced breakfast

TaikosDeya

https://justbento.com/handbook/bento-decoration-techniques/fun-japanese-egg-molds It is fun! I have a lot of bento supplies, and the egg presses are one of my favorites.


missy498

I do these too for my son’s lunches. So cute!


permalink_save

Supid food can also be fun. I'd rather see a lot more of this and a lot less black glove


smart_cereal

Yeah I’d still eat it, unlike a lot of stuff in this sub.

TheGoldenPlagueMask

Squegg👍


Dry-Translator406

I belly laughed at this fuckin word 😂 thank you


TheLadyEve

It's not stupid at all! There's a huge market for egg shapers and they're really popular in kids' lunches in Japan. We actually just bought a few because my kids like eggs but aren't huge on hard-boiled so I want to make them fun (because they're a perfect food for school lunches--good balance of protein and healthy fat).


bombbodyguard

Need a pyramid one now…


BanjoSpaceMan

It's the opposite of stupid... It's kinda like smart in the sense they were able to make an egg a cube... Idk how that's stupid haha


Cidergregg

Mmmmm, Squeggs.


ArtistUnown

They should make so e deviled squeggs


danishjuggler21

How about some squambled squeggs? Squeggs Squenedict?

Micalas

Make sure they don't stay out of the fridge for too long or they'll start to build up some squeggma


YeOldeWarthog

Came here to say this. The only thing stupid about this "stupid food" is that they missed the chance to name it squeggs.


[deleted]

I’m regretting the chance to label this “The Squegg” the more and more this blows up 😔


[deleted]

Your comment wins lol


TheLadyEve

Why is this stupid to you?


NotZelda859

So they're usually squovals?


BackseatCowwatcher

it's stupid sure- but it's meant for people who don't like having a well rounded diet.


wumbYOLOgies

arctheus

Where are the Reddit awards when we need them


TyH621

It was today that I realized they aren’t a thing anymore


Mintbud

I was going to try this diet, but I never got a-round to it.


OmegaStroks

If you keep avoiding it, you'll just keep going in circles.


ItalnStalln

Going in ovoids


TheVodkaColonel

I mean walking in circles is so boring these days anyway...

You really cut some corners with that joke


Proper-Ball-5294

Square diets are all the rage, like omg


comeupandfightmethen

Hahaha 


Crazian14

Hmmmmm I’m not sure there’s any benefits to making square deviled eggs, but I’m intrigued to find out. Edit 1: have ordered the mold, will probably try this next weekend if it comes in on time.


redditcruzer

For one..they would *stand* on their own.


Futuramoist

I'm suddenly a lot less critical of this egg cube idea


coffee-headache

yes, and if you pack them in the container you wont have to be so damn careful about not toppling them during transportation!


Seanut-Peanut-69

Omg these squeggs would pack beautifully 😱


Free_Management2894

Yeah, you could build some fun food platters with this shape.


WirrkopfP

There's a problem: For square eggs the eggs need to be soft boiled. For deviled eggs they need to be hardboiled.


pancakemania

Could soft boil them to get the shape then boil again shortly once they’re bricked up


WirrkopfP

That is worth a try


ConcreteTaco

Only thing I can see here is that you get even yolk to white ratio. Some hard eggs have their yolk to one side. A lot of effort for minimal change though...


PsychedelicKittyCat

Alton Brown, if you don’t already know, is a SUPER SMART “foodist”. He says how to get the yolk centered: secure the carton with a rubber band & 24 hours before boiling: place the secured carton in refrigerator: sideways. Other people say to: gently stir the boiling water: alternating between: clockwise & counter clockwise. Happy Boiling!!


Affectionate_Pool_37

wasent there a Donald Duck story about square eggs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost\_in\_the\_Andes! yes there was, i did remember correctly


eanida

There was a sequel by Don Rosa in the 90s too. I had a subscription to Kalle Anka & co back then and remember that issue came with a free gift of a square egg mould (simple cardboard version you assembled yourself). [Found it.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_Plain_Awful?wprov=sfla1)


Sarritgato

Yep , and the magazine even sent this little tool of carton that you could make square eggs like in the video :)


SpicyBreakfastTomato

I love this! I want them!


bazhvn

dice egg


Ok_Seaworthiness4742

Just put some dots on it and it's ready to roll.


AlexCode10010

It would be nice for a D&D session. Just roll the egg. Is the DM annoying? Eat the egg, whole


Neko_Styx

Roll a nat 20? You get the sauce of choice for dipping. Nat 1? Wasabi/Ghost pepper sauce or other punishment sauce.


XoraxEUW

If you roll a nat 20 on a six sided dice you’d be kicked from the table :p


ImHypernova

Stupid food? No...Oddly...satisfying 👀


Most_Faithlessness35

Stupid? Or genius?


kawag

I suppose cube-shaped eggs can be packed more efficiently, so this could serve a practical purpose. Not stupidfood, IMO.


SivleFred

Minecraft egg


Soupronous

Not stupid


ChildhoodOk5526

For anyone else who's curious about [that amber colored egg-squishing container](https://www.etsy.com/listing/796077243/vintage-1970s-hard-boiled-egg-cuber) -- that's it's entire job ... to cube eggs. And it's been around since the 70s. Who knew?


chessiedreamboat

someone likes to eat eggs squared hahaha


jwwendell

This looks like it’s a tool used for designing bento boxes. It’s a really fun hobby. But yeah it’s a food art thing.

BlueBeBlue

I think it's fun


ShapeShifterK

This has practical uses though.


CompetitiveDrop613

Dinosaurs have seriously descended into fucking quadrilateral foetuses


MGM_Think

When oval shaped food is too boring and inconvenient.


FriendlyGuy2007

I mean...this isnt that bad right?


5280Rockymtn

Good choice of music for this vid


Resident-Elevator696

It's fitting. Also,because Huey Lewis is still cool!!


MindlessFly9970

I have my moms set of these from the 70's. We took the square eggs to a party one time and some people was amazed. We convinced someone that the local store could special order the square raw eggs. Had a good laugh when the store manager told us about someone asking to order the special square eggs.


iamsickened

I have one of these, my mother bought it like 30 years ago. If you want to make egg sandwiches you can just slice it easily into square slices. Much easier than cutting a regular shape egg.


Sganarellevalet

Sure that's useless but it's also very satisfying


C0RR-3RR0R

I have a few of these.. I like them a lot. I'll say you have to have at least 6 of these for it to be worth it. It takes a little bit for the eggs to take shape.

Darksuit117

Cant find a reason to actually do this (no kids) but its fun and harmless enough.


AsaCocoMerchant

Seems kinda fun instead of stupid. I like it.


MaaChiil

It’s worth every penny. I’m tired of regular shaped food.


WereCorgi6292

It's adorable 😍


Vandoid

I bought one of these!* The truly stupid bit is that it takes about an hour and a half to cube ONE egg. So if you wanted to make a dozen square deviled egg servings to impress your friends…six square eggs is 9 hours of work. * Because I’m a sucker for a gimmick. I’ve never actually used it.


Jadythealien

You can't put them all in ice water at once?


Vandoid

For $6.95, you get ONE cuber that holds ONE egg. I suppose one could buy six, but a. the store only had three on the shelf, and b. my price limit for “stupid stuff I’ll never use” is about $20.


MaxTheGayWolf

Holy shit, Minecraft hard boiled egg


Personnel_5

i like it


Lilith-trans-catgirl

Bro's got that minecraft egg.


Asunen

Completely off topic, but I have ruined this song for myself with memes. Was surprised when the original lyrics played instead of the [shitpost version](https://youtu.be/8CvqmD0CZao?si=Gv9mduQ0xr6W0VHw) Slightly NSFW


SenpaiChan

Squeeg


TheGrimEye

I mean it's goofy but it probably makes biting into them a little easier.


Whirlwind3

For a party those be great.


Volotor

I have a bunch of moulds that shape eggs into bunnys and pandas. Never actually used them though.


_weaselZA

This is cool. The egg is still an egg and will taste like an egg, there's no pound of shredded cheese, it's just giving it a nifty shape. I pronounce the square egg *not guilty* of stupidity.


insaiyan17

Square good round bad

-_Eventide_-

I don't see how this is stupid


Tnkgirl357

Can I also have that nice little marble cutting board thing with the hinged blade on it? I don’t really need it but it looks really satisfying to use.


Andrex204

sorry, but this is the wrong subreddit


DasliSimp

not stupid.


SmileDaemon

Why is this stupid? This is actually pretty neat


Chemistry-27

That's cool for putting on a cracker


Lopsided_Pickle1795

It is not a bad idea. I can see them neatly sliced and layered on my sandwich.


lankaxhandle

That could actually make deviled ages kind of fun.


frumiouscumberbatch

I mean, it's a bit weird but let's be real: that is a gorgeously cooked egg.


DifficultyDue4280

How is it stupid;it's edible and fully cooked the whole way,it's creative and looks like a good birthday idea if your kid likes tetras or Minecraft.


T4_8_15_16_23_42T

Kids would love this. It's actually fun


dorkweed576

This is just fun.


[deleted]

That’s cool as fuck


AduroTri

As someone that's played Rimworld. That's not a square egg. That's the EggCube.

Suspicious-Bench5533

Kids would enjoy this.


Business_Ad6086

need a pack of 12 for deviled eggs.


Unlikely_Ad_7333

I kinda wanna use this for deviled eggs. This is how they should be made world wide imo. No more of those little special plates you have to put them on yk?


WanderWomble

Sqegg. 


SomeTings_fishy

JustWalrus1911

Oh, the square egg! That reminds me of the time I tried to make scrambled eggs and ended up with a shapeless blob instead.


ghostinawishingwell

Quickly turn two eggs into eight by cubing them.

Quickly turn 1 egg into 1 egg by cubing it

Why?

GeneralBoneJones

I'm more weirded out by the fact I just discovered the origin of the "bees" sound effect.


VariousComment6946

This is just simple food. Just eat it normally.


rmk_1808

Not sure if it's completely correct I think I originated in Japan as square eggs fit well in bento box


reaggit

YPS 198x


JustAPerson-_-

The idea is the only “stupid” (not even stupid, actually looks fun) part. It’s just a simple hard/soft boiled egg


Koutopoulos

Thanks I hate it

so now I know how to make it, but I have no squaremaker.

you’ve heard of cubed steak, now get ready for cubed egg 😎


Xeon713

I wouldn't say stupid. Excessive maybe. But I do really like the idea if square eggs.


CornyCornheiser

I bought one of these from the back of a Mad Magazine back in the 80s as a kid.

I mean if you wanna decorate the food you serve this is definetely an option

I love these. A couple of years ago i worked in a kindergardenand all the little devils loved Minecraft so for lunch we most of the time prepared square food including cube eggs

Imagine deviled eggs with these. Honestly might be an improvement considering they won't roll around and you can put them on a normal plate.
