I feel old seeing to many variations on egg volumes. When I was a boy the tray had 36 and you could fill a half dozen carton or two hals dozens stuck together.
They stack better than boxes, so it makes sense to transport them that

I haven’t seen the 30 trays in retail stores in several years. I guess most people don’t need 30 eggs at a time or it’s difficult to transport unwrapped

I couldn’t remember I was recalling them and figured it was a 6x6 carton.
Where I saw them was at dedicated grocers and they were open top cardboard bases you could select the eggs from as required.

I can buy eggs in the following sizes at my grocery store:
4, 6, 12, 18, 24, 32
In the USA.
Since before the pandemic.

I’ve seen four eggs but they were duck eggs.
32 eggs in a cup like Rocky
It’s for cooking when you don’t eat eggs much
