This may look like a regular, innocent egg… What you are about to see is eggs-actly what makes this tutorial so special!

Peel back the seemingly untouched shell to reveal a secret message on the surface of the hard-boiled egg.

Wonder how?The vinegar dissolves the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, allowing the alum to go through (or permeate) the shell and discolor the egg white. Mods on a boiled egg. Ingenious.

Thank you to Alberta Egg Producers.

It would only really work on easter in my house... no one really eats hard-boiled eggs, and you'd have to make absolutely sure that you got the cryptic ones in the right batch.

Plus, where the heck are you supposed to find alum these days?

I think this egg writing is bull#$%@. There is a group of us that have tried to duplicate this and it DOES NOT WORK! If anyone has successfully repeated this, please let me know what you are doing. Otherwise this just does not work.
