Plumbing and Egg Shells

Sooo.... I could have sworn that my mom told me about 4 or 5 years ago that egg shells were good for the garbage disposal. It sounds like it makes sense, right? Crushed up egg shells seem like they'd help cut up any other food that might be going down with it, right?

False. Egg shells are terrible for the garbage disposal (and I must have made up that my mom told me they were good for it because my mom knew they weren't good for it so why would she tell me that?). And you know what's worse than 2 or 3 egg shells in a garbage disposal? 24 egg shells in a garbage disposal! Yep, that's right, Scott and I managed to put 24 egg shells in the garbage disposal all at the same time. Haha whoops! In case you were wondering how it's even possible to have 24 egg shells at once, Scott fixed eggs for he and I, and some friends. At the same time, I was making breakfast casserole. All of this ended up requiring 2 dozen eggs. 

So anyway, my sink got clogged up and stayed clogged up for 2 and a half days until the plumber came. It smelled terrible and I had a lot of dirty dishes for those 2 and a half days, so needless to say, I learned my lesson!!!
