    I was thinking of Asparagus.

    I doubt very much that the ultimate ans had anythig to do with the number. more to do with the veg being the most popular in certain parts of the globe.

    Try doing it in another part of the world where this veg is seldom eaten and see what the response would be.

    Was fun though.

    I thought that as tubers, potatoes aren't classed as vegetables, strictly speaking?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,305 ✭✭✭Chuchoter


    I thought carrot :confused:
    Its most likely because its a 6 letter word. The other 2% is illiterate or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 533 ✭✭✭DevilsBreath


    I got cucumber.

    I think there maths was wrong as to the 98% of peps who would say carrot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 598 ✭✭✭Whippersnapper


    You're asked to think of a vegetable before immediately reading the word "arrow". Your mind sees "arro" and comes up with "carrot".


    Simples.

    I was thinking apple.
    Not only is my mind not 'normal', but I'm also an idiot

    I think also what this thunker thinks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,292 ✭✭✭TangyZizzle


    Cabbage, ha.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,583 ✭✭✭cloneslad


    Am I the only one who thought carrot due to the fact that you would eat carrot sticks raw?

    six rhymes with sticks

    like saying: boast boast boast boast boast boast boast boast thing...

    then answering what do you put in a toaster?





    bread

    I came up with stephen hawking

    How wrong i was


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 228 ✭✭Lothaar v2


    If you asked me to think of a vegetable with no preamble or addition whatsoever, I'd say carrot. It's just the first vegetable I think of. It's the veg I most commonly eat (that doesn't come from a tin or packet of some kind).

    There's a big orange smiley face at the top of the page and it mentions an arrow down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,621 ✭✭✭Panda


    So it looks like boards.ie has stumbled upon the reason behind the famous quote "This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever." by Sigmund Freud about the irish race.

    At the end of it all we're just too busy thinking about spuds. :rolleyes:

    I thought Hammer. :confused:

    and no, I'm not trying to be funny. I need to get outside.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,625 ✭✭✭Sofaspud


    I thought onion.

    The "Hammer" thing above could be that there's a similar one where you're asked to think of a colour and a tool, everyone thinks of a red hammer.

    Yeah I remember doing something like that a few years ago. I rarely actually 'lol' at the internet, but I think this was the first time I did it at my own stupidity, before stopping and thinking WTF?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭TanG411


    I thought carrot.

    For those who thought potato, it's not a vegetable.

    I thought of a banana tbh. Not proud. Not ashamed either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,903 ✭✭✭Napper Hawkins


    I thought cabbage.

    Actually I'm lying, I thought carrot just like everyone else who lied about what they got, either that or they did it wrong.

    Although that makes sense it's not true, ive done that trick on people loads of times obviously not saying the word arrow and it worked the same way. Not sure how it works but it's cool when it does. Usually the responses are carrot or cabbage.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭KeithM89_old


    Is it weird i thought of cucumber straight away?? :D
