>12 dozen eggs = 750ml of egg whites

I just want to make sure (12 and dozen right next to each other confuses my tired mind) is this 12 Dozen (as in 1 gross) eggs or 12 (a typo)?

Interestingly, Wolfram|Alpha claims an egg white has a volume of 0.72 fl oz = 21 mL, which would make 750 mL equal to about 35 egg whites…

I think the meaning was more towards "12 eggs is ~= the price of 750ml of egg whites."

Hah sorry. Yeah, as pointed out, I mean 12 eggs.
