Put them closer together, then go out and press them in the mud somewhere and you'll start a panic that dinosaurs aren't extinct!

Is there something "wrong" here? I bet these taste the same once they're chopped and cooked...

@princessnorah

No, nothing wrong.

However, due to their shape, there is the delightful possibility of the misapplication of said vegetables as a particular variety of adult toy.

(Everyone's mind went there... didn't it? Didn't it?)

You said, "Oh…OH!"

Yes, precisely. That is how one may express, in word form, the vocal utterances of a user of such objects at the culmination or 'climax' of the experience.

Well... so I've heard...

I prefer the regular shaped ones for that.

If this question was sincere surprise, there was an Australia documentary episode two years back ("War on Waste") with a section about "up to a third of" carrots being dismissed by the dominant supermarkets because they were "misshapen", sometimes really petty stuff, not even bruises or discolouration or anything that a picky person might question but being too long or short, skinny, not straight enough.

In reaction (or by recommendation), some supermarkets have added small sections marketing various fruit/veg as 'odd' funny-looking ones at discount prices. An improvement, but a long way to go.
