Nooo! Reminds me of my niece who brought a dozen eggs on a paddling trip in one of those plastic egg carriers. She had heard you are supposed to turn the eggs over each day so they last longer. So every day, rather than just flip the container over, she would painstakingly open the carrier, pull each egg out individually, flip it upside down, then put it back into the carrier feeling proud that she was so conscientious with her eggs!
