I don't get the love for corn as if it were a fruit. There's everything from corn ice cream to corn flavored chewing gum. The other day, out of sheer curiosity, I bought a corn juice drink, a bag of corn flavored gummy candy, and a corn flavored lollipop. Overall verdict is ick. Really icky.

well, it can't all taste like donkey.
what no candy corn?
In Japan a favorite pizza has corn, tako (octopus rings) and mayonnaise. Can China beat that monstronsity??
i wonder what came first: the corn drink, the gummy corn, or the ice cream corn? the obsession with themed food is interesting. why CORN?!
Candy corn doesn't actually taste like corn. This sh** actually has an artificial corn essence. Eesh.
Oh Meggie. Why ruin octopus rings like that?
Meghan, you're forgetting the raw egg on top, cracked tableside right before serving.
Jean - speaking of corn, one thing you're "missing out" on here in your native land is a new ad campaign by the corn people. They've got all these TV commerciats about how high-fructose corn syrup is totally fine, nothing wrong with it, serve it up for the whole family. In fact, they ridicule people who warn against consuming it! (I figured you'd want to know, since you probably took in a bunch of HFCS in the corn juice drink and candies)
you can write the sequel to "the omnivore's dilemma"! kim is right - you need to check out the HFCS lobbying...
