Floating Eggs


Did you know?
in order to tell if an egg has gone rotten without cracking it open and exposing the horrible smell you can put it in a glass of water?

if you put it in the water and it lays on it's side it is still fresh
if it is pointing up it means it is older
if it floats (yes floats) then it is bad

interesting....
an egg (fresh) will also float in salt water so try this...

take a glass and fill it half full of salt water then carefully pour plain tap water into the glass being careful not to mix the two the egg will sink through the tap water and then stop at the salt water so it will be suspended in the middle of the glass awesome!!!
