I definitely did a double take- anyone else see this?

I was flicking through Mumsnet and saw this advert. It took me a sec to realise it was a carrot she was holding. However, I think it was the combination of her facial expression and carrot.....made me think wow....inappropriate. Maybe it's just me and mind works in a way that it shouldn't!

I was at a xmas party last night and my SM/ advertising algorithms have been in overdrive this morning. It's mainly been for diamond rings, baby carriers and River Island (colleague did a massive trek to RI to collect a gift....last one in the country for his wife). Definitely nothing dodgy and along the sexual lines I read into this advert!

Thay second peekaboo carrot at the bottom looks more suggestive lol

Isn't that a swede?

Please let this thread become a MN JM thread 🙏🏻😇 all because of a dodgy carrot photo!

A suggestive vegetable thread would be more fun.

It's the end of a carrot held very close to the camera. Something to beware of when you're doing selfies with veg.

What are they advertising?!

The one on the right hand side?

ErrolTheDragon · 16/12/2022 12:10

Yes, I think so.

Whoputtheramintheramalamadingdong · 16/12/2022 12:27

Sorry but I laughed at the pic OP posted - I must be very immature also!

Laiste · 16/12/2022 12:39

@GorgeousKitten her knee?

LOL 😂😂

Laiste · 16/12/2022 12:40

As for suggestive - no i wouldn't have thought that. And i do have a dirty mind.

Laiste · 16/12/2022 12:46

This is more of a culinary mixed message IMO

Never mind the carrot, what about that rude sweet potato popping up? Yours, Shocked of Putney!

PurpleButterflyWings · 16/12/2022 13:05

Definitely just looks like a carrot @Dogstar78

PurpleButterflyWings · 16/12/2022 13:06

I can't see anything untoward in the facial expression either.

TheDofS · 16/12/2022 13:08

Whoever knew carrots caused morning sickness!

ErrolTheDragon · 16/12/2022 11:52

Really mn?
One daft op with replies saying nope, it's just a carrot ... Hmm No, not 'really mn'.

This. ^ It's the OP the 'really?' Hmm should be aimed at, not MN as a whole!

I thought it was Lily Allen for a sec there.

Some of Nigella's interactions with food are very much single entendres - unashamedly carnal.

donquixotedelamancha · 16/12/2022 13:17

Isn't that a swede?

No, she's british and her family are Greek.

For half a second thought it was Phoebe Waller-Bridge, then realised it couldn't be as it is someone shorter.

Show quote history

Yeah, I can't watch Nigella anymore, with all that 'trying to be sexy' stuff (along with the perfect lifestyle portrayed).

donquixotedelamancha · 16/12/2022 13:20

All my supermarket ones are small, wonky and wrinkled.

I've seen my fair share of those too.

Bloody hell that's a bit harsh. What has PWB ever done to you?

OP, are you married to an oompa loompa? If not I think your fella needs to see a doctor, it should not be that colour.

The carrot is taking a photo?
