If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think something else. 98% of people will answer with carrot when given this exercise.

I came up with an apple :confused: :p

[Access_Denied]

:shakehead carrot for me........ohh lord.. i feel boring now ;D

[bothered]

I came up with an apple :confused: :p

When in doubt, read the instructions. :)

[gibbonsl]

When in doubt, read the instructions. :)

I read it just being funny :thumbsup:

[KingFish]

holy crap, carrot here too

[dragonV8]

Brussels Sprouts. :D

[Squill]

I thought of a tomato. Seriously.

[mmonnin]

Tomato is a fruit as well. It has seeds.

[Trinity]

I got Cabbage :confused:

[TheGr81]

Carrot... I'm boring too. :( :bawling:

[deicist]

Technically a fruit is a vegetable. So a tomato, whilst it is a fruit, would be correct.

[Shorty]

I got peas... :confused:

[McBain]

Hmmpf....I said Green Beans.

[floppybootstomp]

Uh, cabbage - I wish I was normal... :(

[EgoShowcase]

I thought of a zucchini.

[entropy]

I was halfway through thinking "cucumber" when carrot popped into my head.

I saw this a long time ago, just totally forgot about it.

[TheSmJ]

I got carrot. How the hell did that work?

And since when is a fruit a vegatable? :wtf: :bs:

[Clutch]

And since when is a fruit a vegatable? :wtf: :bs:

Don't worry, they are just weird ;D

[Rot Katze]

carrot here, freaked me out

[EMT]

Hmph... broccoli. I doubt the 98% figure is correct (it certainly isn't here).

[CB]

A vegetable is any edible plant matter. A fruit is a specific type of vegetable, defined as being the rippened ovary of a flower.

I thought of a carrot.


I think it's just that when you tell an American to think of a vegetable, they will usually say 'carrot'. I don't think it has anything to do with the numbers, and I don't think it will work as well on the Brits

[The Hostess]

i came up with pea pods !!

honestly for a second i felt too much pressure and my fruits and veggies
were confused in my head. ;D

[RWB]

I'm an idiot, I thought of an orange... :shakehead

But I did this test before already, and I was trying to remember the ending so I was going a bit too fast and forgot a VEGGI IS NOT A FRUIT!!!!! At least not in this context or whatever.


GOD!!!

[deicist]

yeah, what Cb said.... any fruit is a vegetable, but a vegetable is not necessarily a fruit.

heh, I had to look up necessarily on dictionary.com. Jesus.

also, I thought of a carrot and I'm a brit... I think it's just most people will think of carrot when you say 'think of a vegetable'

[Thrax]

Carrot. ****.

[Freemymelody]

I came up with a coliflower

[khan]

cucumber.

[Nomad]

Asparagus.

[robby]

cucumber

[muddocktor]

Potato! :eek: ;D

[madmat]

Eggplant... :thumbsup:

[primesuspect]

Celery... :wtf:

[CyrixInstead]

Oh yes, i suppose a woman is *much* more likely to think of cucumber than a man. For *obvious* reasons I suppose, eh Mia? ;) lol

~Cyrix

[Justin]

Penis...

[Justin]

It has seeds....

[Thrax]

What!? ;D

[Gargoyle]

Which brings me back to mine: cucumber. Hmm... a lot of people thinking cucumbers here. :scratch:
