Problems solved by technology

The natural egg structure is quite strong and indeed nearly impossible for a person to break by applying pressure to the ends of the egg with the human fingers.
Despite its relative strength, the egg is an extremely fragile product and requires specialized packaging and processing methods.
Consumers generally prefer sealed containers or packaging to ensure product safety, although conventional egg packaging does not provide for such sealed containers.
