Alternative Vegetable Names

According to this article kids hate vegetables, but not vegetables with awesome names. Which makes sense because let's face it most vegetable names are completely and utterly boring with a capital B. So may I submit the following cool name alternatives to get your kids to eat those veggies*:

Carrots: XXtreme Power Sticks

Celery: Ultimate Spine Crackers

Brussel Sprouts: Alien Pods

Cauliflower: Edible Princess Flowers

Broccoli: The Jonas Brothers Present: Broccoli

Peas: Peaz

Green Beans: Intergalactic Laser Beans

Corn: Corn The Hunger Annihilator

Beets: Biits

Cucumbers: Natures Light Saber

Lettuce: Amazing Pony Food

Spinach: Ass Kicking Leaves Of Awesomeness

*Note: All of these titles may have one to multiple exclamation points after them, so as to make them more exciting to children.

Heh heh! Might try that with my youngest. But he'll probably look at me with a "don't be an idiot" look.

I still love your ideas. Anything to put some humor and fun back into eating dreaded fruit and vegies!
