No wait! Not to IMHO! This is Mundane and Pointless! sigh
I thought of the word broccoli but got that Beulah-the- Buzzer sound in my head when I realized it didn’t match the picture of the green pepper I had in my mind.
At first I thought of Veggie Tales, then I quickly realized the error of my thoughts and pictured a comatose person. I couldn’t immediately think of anybody I knew in a coma, so I said “liver”.
I must be out of my gourd. I’m a bad apple. Thems the sour grapes.
FTR, I usually classify tomatoes as edible food. Other times I classify them as non-lethal missiles.
Okay, maybe I’m not as perverse as I thought. I can’t imagine being asked to name a vegetable and coming up with “liver”. 
‘Apple’ was my first thought, too. Followed by, 'Wait a second, apple isn’t a vegetable. Okay… ‘carrot.’
When I read that, my first thought was “6 chairs or cars?”
Then I had to say six a million times and then think of a and I was thinking what the hell does this have to do with chairs and I thought okay then carrot if this isn’t going to be about chairs and I wasn’t too impressed when carrots was the secret answer.
I thought cauliflower.
Because it looks like brains!
Yummy, yummy brains!
Fuck me, I thought carrot as well. Though initially I was thinking along the lines of cucumber, “carrot” was the word that came out of my mouth.
Seems like a lot less than 98% of the replies here thought carrot, though.
Fretful – I also started with “succotash” (probably because of the “six-suc” connection) and then defaulted to corn, since corn is in succotash.

I did an informal poll on this a few years ago around the hospital, when I was learning some mental magic. IIRC, out of 20 people or so, 15 or 16 said carrot. There were a couple of broccolis, and the rest were outliers. (This was without the math, it was just, “Quick, name a vegetable.”)
I’ve always wondered if including the numbers 14 or 24 in the mathematical runup would increase the “carrot rate”, since we associate those numbers with “karat”.

I thought of a potato.
No, that was my answer too.
You, sir, are a freak.
Completely, utterly, unchangeably bonkers.
I am now quite afraid for my continued mental health, having read your disturbing post.
What?
Well, the only issue I have with that statement is that I’m not a sir.
The “people who thought of a potato” group is sorely underrepresented in this thread, though.
Parsnip here. That may mean I need some professional help…
I’m sort of thinking that this message board isn’t exactly the right place to get 98% “normals.”
(For the record, I said rutebaga. My WAG about the psychology here is that the sixes make people think of sex, and what is more phallic than a carrot?)
If you’re not a “Sir,” then why are you wearing that dress?
Oh my gawd, now I’m corrupted, too!
[runs away, screaming, and longing for parsnip]
Oh yes. You will be mine…
And now you will buy me a new car. Oh. And paint my house, too.
I thought of a cucumber. And the phrase Call any vegetable, call it by name.
