What's Up Doc?


World Carrot Museum
So many things you probably didn't know (or care) about carrots:
  • Carrots were first grown as a medicine not a food.
  • The classic Bugs Bunny carrot is the "Danvers" type.
  • It's a myth that Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny, was allergic to carrots - he simply did not like them
  • The Anglo-Saxons included carrots as an ingredient in a medicinal drink against the devil and insanity.
  • The Greek foot soldiers who hid in the Trojan Horse were said to have consumed ample quantities of raw carrots to inactivate their bowels.
  • Wild rabbits do not eat carrots - you have been watching too much Bugs Bunny !
  • Roasted carrots can be used as coffee substitute.
  • Carrots make Antifreeze.
