Vitamin enriched eggs. Another gimmick?

[Flip-Flop]

Saw these at Makro this weekend. Says it is enriched with Vitamin E, D, B and one or two others. Cant remember all of them. Anyone had these before? Do they taste the same and is this not just some marketing gimmick again to justify paying the R2.00 more?

Are eggs not "vitamin-enriched" by default?

EDIT: Yep, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_(food)#Nutritional_value

Depends what they feed the hens. But yeah, IMHO it's a gimmick until scientifically proven!

No. They do it with feed I think. So you get Omega eggs where the hens are fed feed high in Omega 3 and then they pass this on to the yolk apparently. Now they doing the same with other Vitamins. I read these eggs have about 16% higher vitamin values than normal eggs. Do not know if this is true however.

Poach them in Black Water and eat while wearing a Power Bracelet and you will get X-Ray and Zoom Vision

Omega 3 eggs?

Omega 3 eggs?

No, these are Vitamin enriched, not just your plain old Omega 3 eggs. Or so they want you to believe.

Maybe they're enriched with rooster jizz.

How many vitamin enriched eggs do I need to eat to level up?

That will show a red spot in the yellow yolk. You just remove it with a spoon or other and then scramble it. (Miss the old farm from eons ago!)

Depends what level you are on currently.

16% ? that all? you can get that elsewhere.. why pay extra and fall for the marketing gimmick?

Sounds like a gimmick to me. But is that means the hens eat better, then that is OK with me.
