It illustrates that eggs were much cheaper in Mexico and American tourists didn’t know that it was illegal to bring eggs across the border.

Family drives to Tijuana for the day and stops by the Mercado. Lots of things are cheaper there - including eggs - so they buy a couple dozen. On the way home they’re asked if they have anything to declare… only to find out that they can’t legally bring in eggs. There’s no fine or other enforcement action - except that the eggs are “seized”.
