I saw this shared on a Instagram giveaway. Forgive me if I am offending anyone. I am only one guy. But this seems really dumb to me.

But kudos to whoever started it, I wish you well. It seems some folks will buy anything to stick in, on, or around the BGE. I hope you make a boatload.

    They should license NCAA logos - they'd sell like hotcakes.

    I saw this BS on IG earlier today. 

    But it I agree with heavyG. If they made them in SEC setups they would sell out

    In all seriousness I hope they do well. I don't necessarily understand them but I'm not going to knock them. Like any small business I hope they do well and get to enjoy the journey.

    They should also make shields for the base so I could make an XL look like this:

    Just one more after-market accessory.  I'm with @WeberWho regarding hopes for their success.  With football season on the horizon if they can get the green-light from the NCAA they should be able to move a lot.

    Not so dumb.  BGE come in green. Some people may prefer a different color scheme and this provides a way to change the look of your egg.  Although they don't offer team logo paint schemes, you could always get one in the appropriate team color and add a team logo decal to show off your team spirit.

    In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’  Dare to think for yourself.

    Don't hold your breath waiting for NCAA licensing. As I recall the story, these are no longer available because the fine folks in Indy got wind of them.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    They are just so awkward looking with half the egg green and half something else that in most cases doesn’t complement the green.  Can you imagine adding a topper like this for a car or truck?  

    Wait, that might actually sell well in camo.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    No worries, you'll still be able to find the base of the egg, then feel around for the top half.

    I too wish this company well, but unfortunately, I don't think this product is going to be their big hit.
