Carrots?!

[DavetheDude]

Come on guys, what is it with TB and carrots? Why do I find that practically everywhere, especially in polls?

 

[rufus.K]

Because its the only thing that goes well with a slice of Tort Loaf.

It's just TB folk lore.

Once upon a long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away), there was a poll where no response seemed appropriate, and so the option of "Carrots" was added as a humorous alternative to "Doesn't matter; I don't care". It caught on. Nothing more sophisticated than that.

And, then, you can win a carrot guitar.

Yup. 2002/2003 era I believe.

Hi I been on & off this site for more than 10 years and was wondering who started the option of carrots and why carrots?
I guess at the moment I have too much time on my hands

 

[jd56hawk]

Some vegan, probably.

 

[Green Knight]

I searched this forum for the meaning of carrots but all I found was more carrots, like falling down a rabbit hole.

Could also be vegetarian

The truth is out there.

There was a staff member I think it was who complained that none of the poll options suited his take on the solution. Instead of adding ''No Confidence'' the pollster added ''Carrots''. Carrots forever.

Something like that.

 

[Downunderwonder]

Close but no cigar, the original was a mod reaction to a moron then it caught on as carrots tend to do.

i started that by adding a moronic option to moronic-to-begin-with polls, thus giving non-morons the option to make known their protest of rampant moronicity by passive resistance against the poll taker's agenda.

it's a true measure of the moronicism embraced by many poll-makers that they now include, unprompted, the method by which they themselves can be circumvented.

The original may indeed be lost.

I think the intent is to take the place of 'Other' - please explain in a poll.

All carrots are linked

[Ryno1330]

So I've seen an inordinate amount of threads or polls which list or mention carrots an option. What gives? What am I missing?

 

[Alkali Ike]

You can never have too many carrots.

 

[QweziRider]

Carrots go with everything. Even metal or fired drummers.

 

[Vinny_G]

Carrots make you much cooler

One time years ago there was a Talk Bass get together, and there was a bizarre gardening accident. Nobody talks about it, but the references make sure we never forget. It's best left unsolved, really.
