Probably not the first, but there is a number of posts discussing Bob's love of carrots in the Natter 9 archive. Starting with post #129. Warning!! Natter 9 is filled with feels.

Ooops. Just did that "Bob likes carrots!!" thing, didn't I?
Laga, I did the same thing, and was surprised, because I would have SWORN it was in there.
I'm pretty sure I'm the genesis of that one. It's the phenomenon often seen when someone has a new SO and they can't stop talking about him/her, and use any excuse, no matter how tenuous, to keep talking about him/her. So if someone mentioned they cooked carrots for dinner, the newly smitten person would pipe up with "Bob likes carrots!"
I seem to remember it was bon bon.
Gosh, I wouldn't try to take credit for someone else's idea, but it's been so long that I might have forgotten. I wouldn't know where to look to find the origin, so I'll let it go.
I could be wrong, also. Maybe it just stuck in my mind because of Bob Bob.
I am an obsessive freak and can't let anything go (despite my last post), and I found a post from me in Natter 8, where I called it "Bob-likes-peas syndrome." it's an archived thread, so I don't know how to make a link. But maybe I picked it up from bon bon and totally forgot. I can't remember a damn thing from 2003, so who knows?
Teppy originated "likes carrots" fur sure.
Less than a 150 posts left in the movie thread. Hmm. Buffista Movies: 8 1/2?
