Eggs store very well when refrigerated and are naturally optimal in terms of physical volume. Buy eggs in bulk and store them in a large mixing bowl or other round container in your refrigerator.

Oblate spheroid packing is anything but optimal! Eggs that perfectly tile 3-space when?

Sadly Wolfram Alpha doesn't understand the 'Easter Basket Packing' problem yet, but it's definitely do-able.

Edit: This is an interesting problem that ChatGPT can't quite hatch. It immediately gets confused and thinks 100 eggs fit in a 5L mixing bowl!
