Getting a extra yolk in your egg is an unexpected, delicious surprise, but a whole dozen with extra yolks inside? Isn't that a call for some concern?

Youtube user Mark J cracked open an entire container of a dozen Sauder's eggs from a Trader Joe's in Maine to find that every single one contained two yolks. Before the video, he claimed to have opened seven that had two yolks. After he cracks open the last five, he discovers that the entire container has been #blessed.

How rare is it to get just one double-yolked egg in a batch? One in 1,000. The chance of getting six double-yolked eggs in a row? One in a quintillion. 12 double-yolked eggs in a row? We don't even know. That's too much math for us. But let's just say it's RARE.

Trader Joe's or Sauder's or whoever is responsible for this black magic -- what are you feeding your chickens? This phenomenon makes for a fantastic omelette, but we're just a little spooked.
