All the corn in a can you could ever want, sitting in neat rows on the shelves of Mr. Cron’s Corn Corner.

Aisle 5: Canned Corn
Aisle 6: Canned Corn
Aisle 7: Canned Corn
Aisle 8: Canned Corn
Aisle 9: Canned Corn
Aisle 10: Canned Corn

At the check-out counter, no magazines, gum, candy bars or 5-hour energy. Just slots for more corn.

Special display cases, with giant plastic blow-up cans of corn like pillars on either side of a pyramid of canned corn.

It’s enough to make one feel crazy. Crazy in love with the options.

What will we snack on? Corn.
Oh, let’s go on a picnic and bring corn.

Don’t be a curmudgeon! Be a corn-mudgeon and eat cans of corn from Mr. Cron’s Corn Corner.

The corn comes in a can, it was put there by a man, not in a factory, but in his apartment. So you know it’s homemade.

At this rate, CORN! I, excuse me, I was saying that at this CORN. Oh my, I don’t understand what is CORN! It’s CORNing out of my CORN! I no longer CORN! CORNtrol. Corn is CORN! CORN! taking over CORN!

Just joking. I’m fine. The point is we’ve got a lot of canned corn and corn syrup, but mostly canned corn. Aisles 1-3 and 5-10 with corn.

Praise corn!
