Kids in africa could have eaten that car

Seems it'd have been easier to put an air bladder between the eggs and the car, and slowly inflate it?

those eggs could have save millions of dying children from hunger.
-
The question is: Were there real birds in there?
-
I reckon there is about 24x24 eggs = 576 eggs
1500kg/576
= 2604 grams per egg. not bad indeed. -
The children of Africa could've use that eggs

Its fake
-
I don't understand why they didn't lift the 2nd car and then see exactly which eggs were broken. It might have revealed something interesting or shown a pattern, maybe it would have just shown them that they put the car down on one side more which would suggest it could actually hold much greater weight if more attention could be applied to the distribution of weight. To just run a wire through them seems like a lost opportunity to learn something.

eggxactly waste of food into some thing we already know
-
what would they think in a starving country
-
HowToBasic has approved this experiment.
-
food......
-
could have made such a nice omelet....
-
is that just eggs holding a car?
-
Waste more food on a fact we already know, cool!
-
And this is where HowToBasic got his inspiration.
