Sorry to sound anal, but I just can't stand the spreading of misinformation.

...which goes to prove, dadaist, that you can't believe everything you read, or everything on the internet. Now go get some coffee and put a smile on your face.

Okay. But I'm still going to prove it.
Quoting from page 87, That's Not All Folks, paperback edition (December 1989, after his death), by Mel Blanc and Philip Bashe:
Quote:
"What's up Doc?" became the most famous ad-lib of my career. It was incomplete, however, without the sound of the rabbit nibbling on a carrot, which presented problems. First of all, I don't especially like carrots, at least not raw. And second, I found it impossible to chew, swallow, and be ready to say my next line. We tried substituting other vegetables, including apples and celery, but with unsatisfactory results. The solution was to stop recording so that I could spit out the carrot into a wastebasket and then proceed with the script. In the course of a recording session I usually went through enough carrots to fill several.
Bugs Bunny did for carrots what Popeye the Sailor did for spinach. How many lip-locked, head-swiveling children were coerced into eating their carrots by mothers cooing, "...but Bugs Bunny eats his carrots." If only they had known.
