Most beautiful eggs ever

Check out the turquoise, deep red and gold colors!
Well, these eggs have already been in a rainy egg hunt but can you see the vibrant colors? They are even better than the first time I did them.  Basically you just need the cheapest basic dye kit, BROWN eggs, and use a quarter cup of vinegar to let the pellets fizzle until they melt and then add enough water to just cover the eggs, about a quarter cup more.  Let the eggs soak for about 5 minutes and you have the most amazing colors I have ever seen.  I almost didn't want to eat them! These are way better than the pastel colors you get from using white eggs.  Try it next time!
These eggs were more solid color looking until they got rained on, but still look so vibrant.

Wow....never would have thought of that trick...brown eggs. You are a scientist at heart Amelia, from color brightness discovery to operations on rats.
