It worked on me and my mum.
How did it go for u ???
Have you ever wondered if your mind is normal or different?? Well, do
this little mind exercise and find out at the end!! Free will or
synaptic wiring? You be the judge. Check out the following exercise,
guaranteed to raise an eyebrow. There's no trick or surprise. Just
follow these instructions,and answer the questions one at a time and as
quickly as you can. Again, as quickly as you can but don't advance until
you've done each of them. Now, scroll down (but not too fast, you might
miss
something)........
What is:
1 + 5
2+4
3+3
4+2
5+ 1
Now repeat saying the number 6 to yourself as fast as you can for 15
seconds. Then scroll down.
QUICK!!! THINK OF A VEGETABLE! Then arrow down.
Keep going.
You're thinking of a carrot, right?
If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different
enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with carrot
when given this exercise. Freaky, huh?

Banana and cucumber are basically the same as carrot..
They're all phallic... Which is the whole point to the exercise.
The guy who answered potato.. You have problems... heheh

haha Maybe you should stop sniffing those potatoes!
All jokes aside, there's some psychological foundation behind this test. Don't remember what it is though... Prolly a Freudian thing, that's about all he thought about...

Can't eat string beans. My grandmother used to grow them and we'd have about a years supply of 5 vines. So you could imagine what was for dinner every night
I suppose there are more weird one's about.
I'm surprised that no one has said pumpkin yet, or parsnip, turnip, squash, peas, Onion, leak, corn......
There are so many possiblities.

First thought was chicken.....but that's not a vegetable so then I came up with lima bean. I think that's actually a legume, but what are you gonna do.
