      Yes. If I understand correctly, it’s because the eggs are washed, which strips them of their natural protective coating and causes them to require refrigeration.

          I’m from Pakistan and we put our eggs in the fridge in the little installed egg holders on the fridge after we buy them

            Here in the Philippines we just pick whether to put them in the fridge or not at random. Doesn’t seem to affect the quality in any way.

              Its crazy, but here in Aus the supermarkets are the same way. Some supermarkets keep their eggs chilled. Some just leave them on a trestle table in the middle of an aisle. I tend to do whatever the supermarket had been doing when I bought them.

          But do you buy them out of the fridge at the supermarket? That seems to be the main difference here

            In Spain we don’t. They’re in regular, unrefrigerated shelves.

            Edit: but we (at least in my circles) keep them refrigerated at home, although I don’t know how necessary it is (I suppose it depends on the climate?)

      I (UK) also do this. Makes them last longer. Do the same with most fruit and veg.

      They’re not refrigerated in the supermarket though.
