From The Gateway Pundit:

The trend is so bizarre, reporters at Newsmax were unable to keep a straight face while reporting on the story.

According to the Consumer Price Index the price of eggs have spiked 66% over the last year.

The soaring cost of eggs even has the Dollar Tree unable to put eggs on their shelves anymore.

Easter Potato's? With the skyrocketing price of eggs, some are suggesting we paint potato's instead of eggs this #Easter. Huh? I shared my thoughts with @Alex_Kraemer3 & @KrysiaLenzo this morning on @NEWSMAX. #EasterEggs #GoodFriday2023 pic.twitter.com/eRIOooyhRT
