The whole rabbits and carrots thing literally started with Bugs Bunny… and the reason why he munches on a carrot was originally a reference to a 1934 Clark Gable film where Clark’s character is cracking wise and munching on a huge carrot. Audiences loved it. The animators wanted that to be a reference. But it stuck as a trait for Bugs.
