My daughters Brownies never put it in a carrot either, after a gift dropped the carrot and it almost caught the hall on fire with the Rainbows insideNot necessarily, we did this the first year I saw this hack posted. My eldest boy was waving it around, nothing ridiculous and it flew right out of the carrot. Ironically in the 8+ years my kids have been old enough, we’ve never had an issue… until this hack. 100% wouldn’t recommend.
They've just insisted on gloves since.
