Brief Explanation
Since the radio commercial is in fact a concentration of Dutch puns and language games, writing up an English equivalent proved a daunting task. A literal translation was out of the question. The only alternative was proposing an English equivalent/alternative for the 'ei' sound and rewriting the commercial from scratch, using the same idea, feel, goal and execution, but with a different sound, in this case "egg(s)" or "x".
