With the prices of eggs skyrocketing, many people are anxious about what creative activities can be used now, according to the New York Times.
While videos on how to dye different foods — like potatoes, onions, and marshmallows — are beginning to circulate on many peoples feeds, there’s a concern that the heavy cost of eggs may hurt this year’s traditionl
With Easter approaching in almost two weeks, John Young of the family-owned Young’s Jersey Dairy in Yellow Springs, Ohio, says gathering lots of eggs will be in the works.
In previous years, the family-owned farm comes together to collect and gather around 10,000 eggs for their annual easter egg hunt, but, with the current state of the egg market in the United States the family run business wonders if having the hunt this year is most logical.
For the first time in 40 years, the eggs will be made of plastic filled with a coupon for a free ride on their carousel rather than a soft yummy shell.
Young said he’s hoping the U.S. can return to its normal tradition next year.
“The experience reminds people of the joyful experiences they had in their own childhoods and people want to keep that alive,” Joe Ens, the chief executive of Signature Brands, the parent company of PAAS, an egg dye company stated.
PAAS sells more than 10 million Easter-themed kits each year.
A survey of 9,000 PAAS consumers found that 90 percent of buyers who celebrate Easter, and normally dye eggs planned on doing so this year despite costs and 54 percent plan to never stop, according to the the New York Times.
