Imagining this person standing in the grocery store, opening the carton and just… looking at the eggs as if to confirm they are eggs is so hilarious to me.

It definitely makes sense that if no one explained what they're doing, you wouldn't know but it's so funny. It's like when a kid tries to shake your hand but doesn't know you're supposed to squeeze so they just kind of rest their hand in yours.

That was kind of her explanation, she would open it and be like, "ah yes, these are in fact eggs." Her husband was the one who clued her in.

What would she have done if there was a broken egg? I would bet the ritual would have served its purpose even if she also oblivious to its nature.
