Naw, I knew that already. That's why I called them "pre-whittled," because they're sort of whittled down from momma and poppa carrot.

A family in our church had an amusing story to tell that is related to this topic. They have five children (with a sixth on the way, but that is another story) who are all still fairly young...the oldest is probably about seven years old. Anyway, one of their popular household snacks are those baby carrots. To those children, those are carrots. Once, the mother brought home some uncut carrots for a recipe or something, and her children didn't believe her when she told them what the vegetables were. "No, mommy, those aren't carrots, *these* are carrots!"
