there was actual & blatantly obvious price gouging on eggs
at my store there were 10-25% price hikes on "everything" but eggs went from $1.89 a dozen to a peak of nearly $7 a dozen
everyone stopped buying eggs creating a cascade of other shortages like cornstarch and chia seeds (did you know you can make meatballs stick together with chia seed, now you do!) 🙂
