Carrots will absolutely not give you the superpower of impeccable night vision despite what your parents told you at dinner; this incredibly persistent nutritional myth was actually fabricated by the British Royal Air Force during the second world war to hide the fact that they had invented radar technology, allowing them to shoot down enemy planes in the dark without revealing their secret weapon, meaning millions of gullible civilians have spent decades vigorously crunching on orange root vegetables in a futile attempt to see in the pitch black, which only resulted in marginally better vitamin A levels and a mild case of jaw fatigue, proving once again that government wartime propaganda is highly effective at dictating dietary habits long after the conflict ends, leaving us all munching on rabbit food while still violently stubbing our toes on the coffee table every night!
