My parents, in an attempt to make me eat my veggies, would simply rave about the benefits of each veggie. When it came to the carrot, they told me "it contained Vitamin A and rabbits eat it and that's why rabbits can see really well in the dark, sweetheart, so eat up your carrots now".
So I ate my carrots with the belief that the more carrots I ate, the more closer I was to getting super night vision.
