  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.

  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.

  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?)

    I prefer the regular shaped ones for that.
