In this short commentary, Evan Carmichael explains that refrigerating eggs is discouraged because eggshells are porous and can absorb odors from other foods in the fridge, potentially altering the eggs' taste. He raises the question of whether eggs spoil faster when kept outside the refrigerator, noting the common belief that refrigeration extends freshness. Carmichael ends by inviting viewers who consider themselves egg connoisseurs to share their thoughts in the comments.

Apparently, you are not supposed to put your eggs in the fridge because it will pick up a lot of the smells from what's in the fridge. The eggshells are very porous, and so whatever else is in your fridge will soak into the eggs, and your eggs will start to taste like everything else around it in the fridge. Do they not go bad faster though outside the fridge? I always thought you put them in the fridge because it keeps them fresher longer.
