#EGGS

Supermarkets have recalled thousands of products after 700,000 eggs contaminated with a toxic insecticide were shipped to the UK from the Netherlands. @hansmollman tweeted: “BREAKING: eggs.” @dw_scitech asked: “How did a toxic insecticide end up in eggs at European supermarkets?” @stuartmillar159 noted: “You might want to change your lunch plans…” @Croftger joked: “It’s a good time to be vegan with this whole problem with the Food Standards Agency Dutch eggs.” @Maraudingwinger observed: “Infected eggs from Holland. Horsemeat from Romania. But we need the EU so our food is safe. And they whine about chlorinated chicken.”

#TRUMPCHICKEN

Apparently the chicken crossed the road to send President Trump a message. A giant inflatable chicken in the style of Donald Trump was erected opposite the White House to agitate for the release of his tax returns. @torbenhennigs posted: “What’s the message here? Trump is a chicken? Trump shouldn’t play chicken with our lives? I’m confused.” @Phil_lewis_ wrote: “Taran Singh Brar says he bought it for $1300. It’s a visual protest. ‘Trump is too chicken to release his tax returns, to stand up to Putin’.” @Reeks24 tweeted: “Approval rating: Trump: 32%, Trump Chicken: 100%.” @Themadamemeow shared: “There is a golden Trump chicken facing the White House lawn and it’s magnificent.”

#OLYMPICS

The Paris Olympic Committee is considering whether to include e-sports as an Olympic event for the 2024 summer games. @kevinc_262 said: “Now if they just include Pac-man, I have my shot at being an Olympian.” @theooch wrote: “E-sports is not a sport just because it involves some physical activity. Should violin playing be in the Olympics?” @Plainsville tweeted: “E-sports being considered for the Olympics is something I never thought I’d hear.” @kwmoore81 opined: “I’m a huge gamer and lover of e-sports. However, I think having e-sports at the Olympics is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.”
