      Buy Manhattan for some eggs and blankets

      Spoiler: the blankets are infected with measles

        If you really wanted to screw them over, you would infect the blankets with measles vaccine.

        Wait until they wrap the blanket around themselves and then jump out from behind the door and shout “haha! You’re now immune to measles! Sucker!”

    Denmark should deliver the extra eggs, personally and ballistically, right to the White House door.

    This is how Trump will spin his failed conquest of Greenland: it was really just a ploy to extort eggs from Denmark.

    Denmark should send a single egg, accompanied by a note offering assistance in these trying times.

        If I understand the rules correctly, Denmark will need to invade the US before that happens.

    This kinda sounds so stupid I had to fact check it.

    1. Obviously they are just asking around everywhere if any country has even capacity of surplus eggs. So the department of agriculture send out letters to several countries. Also Sweden and Netherlands seem to be among them. Probably many more.
    2. Also I asked myself why they would even ask such small countries. It turns out at least Netherlands and Denmark are #4 and 8 of Egg producers in EU. #7 is Ukraine interestingly, maybe this will be part of the ceasefire negotiations xD Anyway here the full list of top egg producers in EU, interestingly Norway is #1: https://essfeed.com/cracking-open-the-european-egg-industry-unveiling-the-top-producers/

      Pretty sure that article is wrong about Mowi/Norway, at least in the sense of egg species. Mowi is a farmed fish company and although they likely produce loads of eggs I don’t think salmon roe is what the US needs the most right now
