Frownland Tackles the Best Way to Break an Egg

There has been a long debate about how to break an egg, whether you should break it from the top or from the bottom. Personally, I'm more of a bottom kind of guy—Vanilla you surely know this—but I'm going to decide which is the best side objectively. I will try not to influence my decision with my opinion but instead will go into the pros, cons, and other basic factors that play into which side is better to break when you're cracking an egg or opening a hard-boiled.

From the top:
Pros - Gets the egg cracked
You don't waste time trying to find it
The top is a powerful social metaphor
My sister likes it when I break her eggs from the top

Pros rating - 4/5

Cons: It's not the bottom
Sometimes eggshells get into your eggs
Easy to get lost
Awkward shaped eggshells to throw out

Cons rating - 2/5

Legacy: People have been breaking eggs from the top since we found out that could eat them
Wars fought over the debate
Eggs are delicious

Legacy rating - 5/5

Personal: My daddy used to break our eggs from the top
I always just broke the bottom
I don't even like eggs so I don't know if I'm allowed to have an opinion on this

Personal rating - 3/5

Overall rating - 7/10

From the bottom:

Pros - Gets the egg cracked
You can't get lost trying to find it
The bottom is a powerful social metaphor
I heard that Phil Collins breaks his eggs from the bottom

Pros rating - 4/10

Cons: It's not the top
Sometimes eggshells get into your eggs
Hard to find where to break shell
Awkward shaped eggshells to throw out
Captain Beefheart broke his eggshells from the bottom

Cons rating - 2/5

Legacy: People have been breaking eggs from the bottom since we found out that could eat them
Wars fought over the debate
Eggs are delicious

Legacy rating - 3/5

Personal: My friend used to break our eggs from the top
I always just broke the bottom
I don't even like eggs so I don't know if I'm allowed to have an opinion on this
Personal rating - 2/5

5.5/10

The last word has been spoken people, I wish that bottom could have pulled through, but it looks like breaking an egg from the top is just the definitive way to get an egg cracked.
