Overview

The creator, Michael Stevens of Vsauce, performs a custom song advertising 'Inq's Curious Egg Molds.' He contrasts his old method of frying eggs with his new 'hard-boiled' lifestyle, unboxes the product, demonstrates how to use the molds to shape eggs into dice, and shows them being used in a board game. He also showcases other mold shapes like a diamond and Albert Einstein's head before directing viewers to the product website.

Transcript

When I was young, I used a spatula for all my flips. Now I'm hard boiled, baby, and my eggs are covered in pips. I don't wanna see any lips on your lips. No. I wanna see proteins squeezed while they're hot. And when they're cold and firm, ready or not, I wanna see their new shape. They'll no longer look like a grape. Oh. We'll be breakfast hall of famers. We'll be egg shellant. Tabletop gamers. Finefolds will turn eggs into diamonds that are fine. And the head of Albert Einstein. Good. I butter my toast with hu billi tier. But I boil and shake my eggs for probability. Black and white? No. Chance for me is yolk and white. Get it right. There's a website. It'll shed some light. You don't have to bake twice. Everybody can have egg dice.
