After a long day of selling carrots, Carrot Top relaxes in her house with a carrot cake muffin without incident.
What you just read was a complete fabrication.
Note: There is a fic here for you to read, but it will be improved upon by me sometime. I can't promise when I will do so, but I can promise that I will.
(Big thanks to -TheStoryteller- for writing the semi-canon Chapter 2, and to TotalOverflow for giving me some very helpful criticism. Go check out those guys.)
Credit for Carrot Top's characterization goes to previous stories I've read about her by Blue Cultist, Meta Four, and Knight Breeze (as well as my own thoughts). I recommend the stories which include her by those authors wholeheartedly.
(Oh, and I have to mention the inspiration for the story itself, which was these excellent comics. The actual sources to the comics are linked in that blog post as well.)
