Isn't this stupid? No one paints actual eggs anymore anyway.

I don't have to even open the article to know it's going to have political opinions all over. I'm sure it will mention Trump negatively, directly or indirectly blaming him somewhere.

Ok, i just skimmed it, and it's a Canadian source/author, so immediately political and comparisons being made.

This article uses the supposed story of "people are painting potatoes(and other things) because eggs are expensive." OK, cheap/creative people have been doing that forever. You hide plastic eggs cuz you put candy inside. You don't hide real cooked/uncooked eggs. Or potatoes or marshmallows.

The story this article is selling reads between the lines. The articles headlines are deceiving as such. It's trying to sell you something, and you're probably buying it.
