If the density of the water is increased by adding a solute (such as sugar or salt) to it, an egg can be made to float.

This was one of the ways used to determine the amount of honey that needed to be added for making mead (a fermented honey drink). It has also been used to determine the consistency of brine (salt) solutions.
