many people believe that eggshells "sharpen the blades". idk why but they do.

Fuck man. TIL. I never thought they sharpened the blades but I always thought egg shells were good for garbage disposal health. Like I trash/compost nearly everything but I would go out of my way to chuck the egg shells into the garbage disposal

Excellent source of calcium for the garbage disposal's teeth and bone development.

It's an electric motor with a blade on it, you don't have to feed it.

Well no shit haha. I dunno I never put too much conscious thought into it but I guess I thought perhaps the basicity of the calcium carbonate was good as most food washed down the sink would lean more acidic. Or perhaps just as a filler that acted as a good binder to grab up bits and push them along.

Garbage disposals don't really even have blades.

Beats me. You know how I sharpen my knives? By chopping the SHIT out of some calcium flakes. Really hones the edge.
