The discussion revolves around a riddle describing a "box that has no lid" but contains "golden treasure inside." Participants interpret the riddle in humorous and creative ways. One interpretation suggests that the box represents a fridge, with beer as the hidden treasure. Another interpretation posits that the box symbolizes an egg, highlighting its lack of a manufactured lid and the valuable, golden yolk inside. The conversation emphasizes the importance of not taking the riddle too literally to uncover its meaning.

my answer: if you don't take the words too literally you'll see that it is an egg. there is no manufactured "lid" to this container and also the yolk has a "golden" color and could be valuable to some one whos hungry or an animal of some sort. forget where heard this but i thought it was kinda cool.
