Max Armstrong looks at the White House Egg Roll, a post-Easter event dating back to the 1870s, which this year also brings a lot of eggs to Washington, D.C. Max shares a range of stats from the American Egg Board. Max also discusses information about where the eggs for the big egg roll came from, including some interesting news about last year’s event too. Note the 30,000 eggs delivered this year arrive hard boiled and pre-colored for attendees.
