What is/are "carrots"?...

Sign in to disble this ad
When I see a poll on TB there is usually a choice "carrots"... since I would rather sound stupid then be stupid... I thought I would ask... what are these "carrots"?

Thanks for your tolerance!

Those. An edible root vegetable, know for its high vitamin A content. The British pilots pretended to eat lots of it during WWII, attributing their good night-sight to it, while they really used radars.

I believe the correct answer here would be 'Bacon'.

I like to tell myself that this meme started a few years back at a time when there when posting lots of polls was the hip thing to do in "Basses" and lots of posters commented that people were "comparing apples to oranges" in said polls. I think someone posted that if you were comparing apples to oranges, you might as well add carrots to the mix and it sort of stuck and "carrots" became synonymous with a humorous "other" option. At least that's how I remember it, of course things might have been totally different as the meme is pretty old by now.

Thanks Boomtisk... at least someone has an idea... and it makes sense. You've also educated the other posters on this thread as it seems they didn't have any idea also!

That's not quite right. Almost.

Some of us just might know exactly what's going on, but we just don't want to tell you

Isn't it blasphemous to JT to mention it to the un-initiated?

So many lives have been lost already. It's sad it has to be this way, but rules have to be followed.

You guys are the best! I'm gonna treat it as "other" and leave it at that... and you can rest assured I'm not gonna ask what "meme" is!
