We’ve all been there… Not being able to get corn off its cob fast enough and into our face.
This guy is here to help, having figured out a way to eat an entire corn on the cob in ten seconds, using a power drill. If you are attempting this at home, we’d recommend safety goggles and nose plugs. And, we’d skip buttering your cob first.

Do not adjust your screen. These corn cobs are legitimately multi-colored. Thanks to Glass Gem Corn and their Rainbow Corn, we no longer have to deal with boring yellow kernels.
Oklahoma-based farmer, Carl Barnes, came up with rainbow corn, by harvesting heirloom corn seeds, once used by Native American tribes.
Now, anyone can add some much-needed color to their meals — with the seeds now available at Native Seeds.

Sweet corn dreams are made of this… who am I to disagree? The Sweet Corn Pillow is a concept by designer Weng Jie.
It features a set of individual corn kernels that Velcro to the cob. The best part, besides a giant cob to rest your weary head, is the corn is easily removable to have tiny pillow fights with. And, the cob part can then be rolled out as a play mat.

A unicorn might be able to poop rainbows and produce tears that cure all known ailments — but they’re certainly not too good that they can’t hold our corn.

Each set contains 4 pairs of corn holders. Check them out at The Foodiggity Shop.
