Despite a "best by" or "packed on" date -- or if you have a couple extra eggs out of their carton in the fridge and don't remember when they got there -- this sink or float test is a good baseline ...
Good eggs can float because even fresh eggs can contain large air pockets. Eggs that are older than their expiration or “sell by” date are also not necessarily bad.
If the egg sinks to the bottom it’s very fresh and should be good to use. If the egg stands up on its end or even floats slightly, it’s a little past peak freshness, but should still be edible.
This provides a way of testing the age of an egg: as the air cell increases in size due to air being drawn through pores in the shell as water is lost, the egg becomes less dense and the larger end of the egg will rise to increasingly shallower depths when the egg is placed in a bowl of water. A very old egg will float in the water and should ...
Stirring the water vigorously to create a vortex may also reduce dispersion. [4] The age of the eggs affects the cooking process. The white of a freshly laid egg is less likely to disperse. With an egg that is less fresh, the white is more likely to disperse, so acidulating the water will assist in preventing excessive egg white dispersal.

Whole eggs should not be frozen in the shells. You'll first want to crack the eggs into a bowl and beat until well blended. Then pour the beaten eggs into a freezer-safe container and seal.

[14] Over 80% of cavities occur inside fissures in teeth where brushing cannot reach food left trapped after eating and saliva and fluoride have no access to neutralize acid and remineralize demineralized teeth, unlike easy-to-clean parts of the tooth, where fewer ...
