Egg Roulette & Blown Egg Ornaments

In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran get messy!  Things are getting egg-y in the Greenfield household, and while some of this footage was actually shot during a different holiday, it just feels right to bring out the eggs in time for Easter.  Check out this info on egg roulette and blown egg ornaments, and then watch and laugh with us!

Blown Egg Ornaments

There is some disagreement about the blown egg ornament tradition, and the Greenfield Twins are taking sides.  Some believe that it was started as a pre-Easter tradition, which involved kids and parents blowing and drying eggs before spending time together painting and creating beautiful, spring-inspired showpieces.  Others argue that it was a German Christmas tradition.  So, we are showing this episode pre-Easter, but River and Terran hung their eggs on their Christmas tree.

There is actual evidence that this is among the oldest known crafts, with the discovery of etched eggshells dating back more than 60,000 years according to Scientific American!

The History of Egg Roulette

It’s a short, but hilarious history for this piece of the egg-y episode.  We’ve seen this trend take over the internet in the recent past, and the twins just had to test their luck - with varying success.  

Want to try it for yourself?  Hard boil 4 eggs and cool completely, leaving the shells intact.  Add the hard boiled eggs to eight uncooked eggs in a traditional egg carton.  Shuffle the 12 eggs until everyone is unsure where the hardboiled eggs are positioned.  Take turns cracking eggs on your head.  The loser is the biggest mess at the end of the competition, but he wins the longest shower!
