解释下carry the day
请解释一下标题上的这个短语,看不懂.
下面是这个短语所在的文章,文中的那个短语我已经用括号括开了
But in the end tomatoes {carried the day}.The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson,and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820,people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead.”What are you afraid of?”he shouted.”I’ll show you fools these things are good to eat!” Then he bit into the tomato.Some people fainted.But he survived and,according to a local story,set up a tomato-canning factory.
