Catalina GulloMom was about to help her grandmother, Sonny Benz, move from San Diego to Hawaii when she called Gullo and asked if she could fly out to help go through some boxes. Gullo, 24, who currently lives in Connecticut with her husband, jumped on the opportunity to fly home to California and help his grandmother with the move.

When she arrived at her mother’s house in early March, she and her mother began to go through all of Sonny’s things, from documents to boxes with the family’s legacy, and decided what she would send to Hawaii and what she would get rid of. It was when Gullo noticed that her mother had already laid out all the Easter decorations.

“I’m like,” Oh, you decorated the type of early, “” Gullo reminds him to tell his mother. “She’s like,” Oh, yes, I got a whole lot of Easter decor from Grandma. So I thought, why pack it away just to take it back in a few weeks? “I was like,” Oh, it’s meaningful. “”

When Gullo looked at the decorations on the table, she immediately noticed that there were Easter eggs on the screen. “I am,” Mom, why did you color eggs so early? We are one and a half months from Easter. “And she’s like,” No, it’s artificial decorative eggs that I got from Grandma’s wardrobe. “”

But upon closer examination, Gullo could not shake what the realistic eggs looked like. When she picked them up and knew them, she noticed how much they resembled real eggshells. But she didn’t think much about her speculation at that time.

Later this week, the Mother Dotter couple continued by going through more of Sonny’s belongings, including the countless photo albums she had held over the years. It was when Gullo came across a photo of her mother and dad, who met as teenagers and colored Easter eggs as a child.

“We’re like,” Oh, they’re so young. Oh, they are in Grandma’s old kitchen. Oh, how cute. “Then the next photo of the eggs and the bowl is.” I was like, “Oh my goodness, these look completely like the eggs sitting on the table.” I’m like, “No, no way.”

So Gullo went over to check the eggs again and shook each one. Most of them were silent, but they felt heavy in her hand. One of the eggs she shook made a sound, and she realized that something was inside. The bottom cracked open and revealed what it looked like a marble.

“And I am,“ What is this? “So I am investigating, and I am,” Oh my goodness, this is an egg yolk, “she says.” This is not an artificial egg. So of course I’m super freaked and I call my sister and my mom into the room. I am, “Oh my goodness, look at this! Look at what I found!” ”

The family continued to crack a second egg and discovered that the egg yolk was not intact; It was broken inside. Gullo is reminiscent of the structure of the egg yolk almost like a peanut butter candy. Then the next one that they cracked Open was somehow pressure, and it made a loud popping sound.

“We all screamed, and then it also smelled horrible,” she adds. “My dad said,” Throw it. It smells so bad. Get it outside! ” Everyone burst up, and Grandma laughed too. ”

The cracking continued, and with each egg they found more serious surprises inside. Some eggs were brown, some black, and they all smelled pretty bad. Grandma laughed all the time and said, “Oh my goodness, I can’t believe that I kept eggs long enough for it to happen,” says Gullo.

Not long after the Gullo published a video of the situation to Tiktok. When she noticed that it was getting traction, she was shocked. Since then, the video has collected more than 7.5 million views and 2500 comments.

“The journey that these eggs have been on,” read a comment.

“Listen, in this economy we do not throw out eggs even if they are calcified,” someone else said.

Another user wrote, “35 years?!?!? I thought it would be confettifag.”

“There were so many comments that were like,” it was the family’s legacy. You destroy memories. How could you do that? It’s so cruel. You are so heartless, “says Gullo.” And my family was all that, “What? These were rotten eggs. These were not intentionally held.”

However, Gullo adds how her grandmother, now 85, had had some memory problems over the last ten years or so. After reflecting on the situation, Gullo’s mother has speculated that maybe the eggs are not as old as the family thinks.

Her mother holds out hope that the eggs are from 2018, when Sonny lived with the family. But she will never know for sure.

“Grandma probably colored Easter eggs with us sometime and held some when she lived with us in her room, and no one realized,” says Gullo. “Then she just filled them in a box at the end of Easter and ended by holding on to them for eight-ish years.”

“It feels very random,” says Gullo. “But I have to say, Throughout this Who’s process of moving grandma and packing up all her stuff, a lot of cherished memories have come to the surfac, and we’ve realized how fortunate we are to get to have to have granda in our lives. Years. And I Feel Super Blessed and Grateful to Get To Have Her All Those Years and To Have So SO MANY FUN MEMORIES AND THE CRAZINESS OF CRACKING UP IN THE EASTER AND HELP HER HERE. ”

Earlier this week, Gullo says that she and her husband colored a lot of hair -cooked eggs. Since then, she has played with the idea of ​​keeping them as a personal science experiment. But she admits that there is a catch – if they start to smell, her husband will not be happy.

“We’ll see,” she says. “I think maybe double Ziploc bag them, knit them in the closet and check them next year. But if they get too stinky I will probably just throw them.”
