Operation Carrot Vision!

When I was around seven, I got it into my head that carrots were the key to superpowers—specifically, night vision. It started when my older brother, ever the know-it-all, told me, “Eat enough carrots, and you’ll see in the dark like a cat.” He probably just wanted me to stop bugging him for the flashlight during our backyard campouts, but I took it as gospel. I mean, Bugs Bunny ate carrots all the time, and he was basically a superhero, right?
