    Do you Carrot all for me is about a person who is saying to someone if they care at all for them and things like that but they are saying it with fruits and vegetables instead of saying," Do you care at all for me" or,"Let us marry"

    I chose DO YOU CARROT ALL FOR ME? as the winner because it had great imagery and it made think hard about what the vegetables and fruits actually stood for like pear stood for pair and radish stood for reddish.
