It has to do with osmosis since their is so much salt in saltwater the salt takes up space so their is more water in the egg so the egg will shrink and their will be more water in the cup so it reaches eqilibrium.

Why does an egg grow bigger in tap water?

I believe it is referred to "dino egg" or "magic egg", expandable water toys. These toys are made from water absorbent polymer which can absorb water and swell to a lot larger size. So absorbing water cause them to grow bigger. For common egg, chicken egg had shell and won't expand, ikura (salmon egg in soy sauce) had no external shell and would expand due to absorption of water.


Why does an egg get bigger when put in pancake syrup?

An egg gets bigger when placed in pancake syrup due to the process of osmosis. The syrup is hypertonic compared to the egg's contents, causing water to move out of the egg through its semi-permeable shell to balance the concentration of solutes. As the egg loses water, it shrinks slightly, but the syrup's high sugar concentration can cause the egg to absorb some syrup, leading to an increase in size overall. This results in the egg appearing larger as it absorbs some of the syrup's moisture.
