Whistling Carrots
The British supermarket chain Tesco published an advertisement in The Sun announcing the successful development of a genetically modified 'whistling carrot.' The ad explained that the carrots had been specially engineered to grow with tapered airholes in their side. When fully cooked, these airholes caused the vegetable to whistle.

Tell me where I can buy some of these carrots! None of our three local grocery stores sell them, and I need them so my kids will eat carrots!

This is funny! It reminds me of the "toot sweets" in Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang
