I go into a grocery store about twice a year, but last week Teresa and I were running some errands and she had to pick up some things so I went in with her. I always gravitate to the meat counter to look at industrial product, prices, and messaging. I saw a most amazing thing at the egg cooler. A molded plastic package had three hard boiled eggs cut in half.
