I’ve been in a mode for the last few weeks where I’ve been eating a pound or two of baby carrots for lunch. For the most part this has been working out for me but this most recent two-pound bag of baby carrots has been nothing but a disappointment. The carrots are very fibrous, some to the point of having a core that almost seems to be composed of wood. They are not very juicy and they are less than flavorful.
Today is day two on this bag so my disappointment has extended overnight.
Bad show, bag of baby carrots! Very bad show indeed.
A pound or TWO of carrots for lunch? My god, have you turned orange yet? That’s a lot of carrots!
Anyway, sorry you have had a bad run of luck with your vegetable choices. I know how you feel. I made peanut butter cookies today with Hershey’s Kisses on top - a cookie I’ve been meaning to make for at least 10 years and never got around to it - and they are way too sweet. I’m so annoyed.
So help me, I just realized that the bag of baby carrots I’ve been buying at Albertson’s now says “Baby Cut Carrots”. I know that they never used to say that. Did some idiot sue because they weren’t really babies, or what? :dubious:
If they’re such a disappointment, send them to their rooms and tell them they can come out when they can act like adult carrots.
And imagine their disappointment the night you came home drunk chewing on that celery stalk! Disappointment? It goes both ways, my friend. It goes both ways.
By the way, pitting defenseless vegetables is pretty low.
And I think that overeating carrots over a long period (months to years, probably) would likely turn you more yellow than orange (carotenemia). I know of a case where someone ODd on both carrots and tomatoes and his skin turned pumpkin orange.
