On: Why the U.S. Chills Its Eggs and Most of the World...

Okay understood. But does refrigerating them make them last longer? I'm nomading through South America and of course the eggs were not refrigerated. Didn't worry me much, but I still put them in the refrigerator with the assumption that a cold dark environment will make the last longer. no?

In the article it says "Another perk of consistent refrigeration is shelf life: It jumps from about 21 days to almost 50 days."
