‘Please write me,’ she scribbled on a random egg in 1951. Someone just did.

Mary Foss Starn, now 92, slipped the egg into a carton and sent it out like a note in a bottle to see if anyone would respond. Someone did, 72 years later.

A quality control failure at the egg packing facility.
Hopefully this sort of quality control incidents have been reduced, perhaps through increasingly higher degrees of automation of the egg packing process.
