Baker's egg video trends

In her video, Abba Morena pokes fun at the current egg shortage that South Africa is facing. As a baker, she knows how important eggs are for making delicious treats like cakes and biscuits. In the funny clip, she shows what a luxury it is to buy eggs. Morena does a whole skit on what a luxury it is to have this ingredient during the crisis.

Her funny and relatable take on this fundamental problem has made many South Africans laugh and nod in agreement. This video is an excellent example of how humour can help people cope with difficult situations.

In an exclusive comment to Briefly News, Morena says:

"I’m a home baker and the shortage of eggs really affects my baking business because most of the things baked I use eggs. "For the past month I’ve been getting very small eggs from my supplier due to demand as their farm produces these eggs for laboratories and viral vaccine production. "How the chickens and eggs are kept is high maintenance, as the place needs to be free of any diseases, it’s a sterile environment and temperature controlled. "The demand for these eggs has risen due to the avian flu, which affects us regular consumers. Then, on Monday, my supplier called to say she had extra-large eggs available, and that's what inspired me to create this video."
