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!

The thing on the right is a sweet potato.

If you’re trying to start another anti-Jack thread, you’re really scraping the barrel. Or carrot. Find something better to do with your time.

If that’s what you think a thingy looks like you need to get your DH to the doctor pronto 😂

Its just a carrot you dirty minded mare. 😂😂

I got a message from Amazon saying this is something I might like! I ignored the hint for a while and then curiosity got the better of me and judging by the questions and reviews posted, I wasn’t the only one that thought it was a bit dubious.
For those that don’t know, it’s a Lamona Beko washing machine stabiliser pin.

I can't speak for others but I didn't imagine for a second that it was anything other than a Lemano Beko washing machine stabilizer pin, (honestly) 😂

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 16/12/2022 14:26

Oh and its definitely something I'd like. Its been a while if you get my meaning 😅

Whatthediddlyfeck · 16/12/2022 14:35

Ffs it must be hard work being offended at stuff like this

stopthebarking · 16/12/2022 14:49

I read the OP as more lighthearted amusement than someone being offended or disgusted, etc.

If that's the spirit in which it was intended, I agree, OP! If I was scrolling by and not paying full attention, I also might do a double-take at that, then have a chuckle at the tricks our eyes can play on us.

Yerroblemom1923 · 16/12/2022 15:26

@FangsForTheMemory absolutely!

baroqueandblue · 16/12/2022 15:42

You did a double take at what is obviously a carrot? I'd say you need to get out more, but your thread is so blatantly disingenuous it's embarrassing Hmm

Dogstar78 · 16/12/2022 16:51

@FinanceLPlates I have just swapped to Vision Express from Specsavers. Think I need to go back to Specsavers 😀

@stopthebarking it was absolutely lighthearted. Think there are some people are a bit wound up before Xmas.

Totally not offended, everyone take a deep breath and stand down from your salad drawers. Carrots come in all shapes and sizes but they are all equal once you've cut them into neat batons.

Gloriously daft, thank you op!

Villagetoraiseachild · 16/12/2022 17:08

If it is a phallic symbol, it's been tango 'd.
If is JM , I believe I read her predilections lie elsewhere.
Not that I'm casting nasturtiums......

I thought it was bars of a huge cage behind her and she had some small rodenty type pets ....that eat carrots
