Trader Joe's is a beloved destination for high-quality, unique, and tasty groceries at an affordable price. But if you happen to pick up a carton of eggs the next time you stop by the retailer, you could be getting more than you bargained for.

The grocery chain offer several egg varieties, including cartons of fertile eggs. This means that under the right incubation conditions, those special eggs could theoretically turn into 12 live chicks. And that's a hypothesis one TikToker has decided to put to the test

In a recent viral video that has racked up 1.5 million views and more than 110,000 likes on the platform, teacher @aliceintkland set out to verify whether those fertile Trader Joe's eggs are actually hatchable. She explained that she had already been incubating farm-fresh eggs for her classroom and added nine Trader Joe's eggs into the mix.

After 21 days, three of the Trader Joe's eggs hatched into real chicks, the teacher noted in the video. "Can you believe these guys came from a carton?" she asked.
