because of the chemical reaction between the vinegar and the egg shell. If you put a raw egg in vinegar it will dissolve and only the membrane will be left it is cool looking. It is like you have a ball that has liquid inside it XD

After a certain amount of time, such as 24 hours, the egg absorbs the vinegar and expands. The reason for this is because of Osmosis. Osmosis is when water travels from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

The egg shell, composed of calcium carbonate, is dissolved by the vinegar leaving behind the relatively tough, thin membrane that lined the shell.

Its known as a Pickled Egg, there are many different varieties that require different ingredients

After the eggs are hard boiled the shell is removed and they are submerged in a solution of vinegar, salt, spices, and other seasonings. Recipes vary from the traditional brine solution used for pickles and other solutions which can impart a sweet or spicy taste. The final taste is largely determined by the pickling solution. The eggs are left in this solution for anywhere from one day to several months. Prolonged exposure to the pickling solution may result in the eggs developing a rubbery texture
