“Now that I’m grown I eat five dozen eggs” woah, woah, woah! Hold up there, Gaston. FIVE DOZEN eggs?! Now I don’t know about you, Loyal Theorists, but that seems a bit excessive. Not only do I think Gaston CAN’T eat all those eggs, but I also wonder what his consumption is doing to the local town in Beauty and the Beast, especially with the current egg crisis. To find the answers, you’ll just have to watch.

Here's a consideration: I'm not convinced Gaston knows how many eggs are in a dozen.

[@Version0111]

I had this thought years ago. The line "I need 6 eggs. That's too expensive." always makes me think it's because Gaston eats most of them so there's only a small amount left.

[@bongpoquito]

In the live musical production, the lines "I need six eggs" and "thats too expensive" are sung right after the other. Some directors give the baker's wife the first line with the baker replying. Its a perfect fit for this theory.

[@complex2live]

Remember, this man calculated the time and place where the movie took place, the chickens that laid the eggs and even used the Laws of Supply and Demand just to figure out if One Man ate an entire Village's Egg Supply.

[@shinyskitty3671]

Well, Belle’s dad is a crazy inventor. He could have artificial lighting and feed. It would explain why Gaston is so set on marrying Belle; he’s gotta secure those eggs

[@Shadowgun453]

I love the fact that MatPat went from food theory to film theory to architectural theory.

[@musearrives2am]

Honestly, Matpat makes it sound like 200 is a lot of chickens to have one hand, but my Great Depression Grandmother raised up to 300 chickens each year to sell for meat to a local inn and used the eggs they laid beforehand to sell and feed her 12 children. A little entrepreneurial for the time, but it has been done.

Hey Matt Pat, quick note. I live in Washington state and raise backyard chickens. Roughly the same latitude as France so roughly the same daylight hours. Between October and January my chickens don’t lay eggs at all. so there’s even less eggs for bargification

[@SoManyRandomRamblings]

I like how MatPat doesn't just assume the villain was eggs-agerating.

[@ztslovebird]

Gaston didn’t think Belle was being held hostage when Maurice first came to beg for help saving her. He only went after the Beast AFTER Belle had already been freed & showed more interest in the Beast than in Gaston.

[@anthonywynn1812]

Something to take into consideration: If a hen is frightened, egg production halts for days.

"The I need 6 eggs" "That's too expensive" has never aged so well.

[@Tokuijin]

Actually, Gaston said he ate eggs but he didn't say that they were chicken eggs. Dude could have been eating quail eggs for all we know

[@williammcnear3462]

Now what we really need answers to: How did Gaston eat all those raw eggs WITH THE SHELLS ON?

[@notzombie3703]

I got an ad at

[@sonicrider321]

"When I was a lad, I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large. And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs. So I'm roughly the size of a barge. "

[@Convoy00X]

I've always thought Gaston didn’t know what a dozen means and thought it was how they were prepared.

[@angelsister7635]

I live in a small town, everyone's solution to the egg price rise is that they have nearly completely stopped buying from the store and are just buying chickens, but I wonder if that would truly be cheaper in the long run .
