The price of eggs has become the new ‘Thanks Obama’ rating system for an administration. Interesting question – how many eggs does the average greasy-spoon diner go through in a week?

Make a guess? I think it would be an interesting interview question.

For an answer, it turns out we have some data. Tom’s Pancake House talked to local reporters on how the rising egg prices has affected them. According to the owner, they go through more than 9,000 eggs a week.

When a case of 180 eggs skyrocketed from $45 to $140, that means their weekly egg purchases went from $2,250 to $7,000. Definitely something you would see on the bottom line.
