Why are they a TB staple?
Why are they a vegetable?
Why are they so healthy?
Why are they so orange? 
My guess is there's a conspiracy going on between Markbass and Carrots.  Discuss.

| And before part of them`ve chosen bass.
I personally always thought this carrot mascot came from this "OMG one-handed bassist" video, he had carrot peelers(or something similar) in place of fingers on his right.
So, what`s your version? |

I remember that Jazzbo was always complaining that there wasn't a veggie option!!
