I like the McDonald’s breakfast sandwich with a scrambled egg, figured I’d try the Burger King one for the sake of comparison. But they wouldn’t do it with a scrambled egg. “We don’t do that”. I thought their whole shtick was “have it your way?” Guess not.

    I worked for them in the US for 10 years more recently then you looks like. They used to do cracked eggs, but I was there when they converted. Now they’re just frozen eggs in that shape that are steamed. Same as their “folded” egg this is called “round” egg. Looks exactly the same.

    At least I didn’t have to wash those horrible circle things anymore

        Never said impossible, there were difficult. Each egg had its own container, the device could do 8 at a time if I remember. Each one takes probably a full minute to scrape off all of the egg particles, and then you’d still have to scrub, rinse, and sanitize. That’s in addition the the hundred or so other dishes you have to do, and with the eggs needing to be cleaned between each use it would take significant amounts of time. Breakfast dishes was about a 2-2.5 hour task each morning, and those egg dishes were probably 45ish mminutes of that.

          Ah right; I forgot to clarify I was using the “colloquial hyperbolic impossible”, not the “literal cannot be physically done in this realm of existence impossible”. I thought it would be clear from the “so impossible” qualifier, since there is no literal scale of impossibility; it is a binary state. Apologies for the confusion.
