Should all corn be yellow?

Or is the world better for having corn in shades of white and blue?

[Pimienta]

I think it should be whatever color it wants to be
why should we, mere humans, determine what color corn should or shouldn't be?

Blue corn rules!

All well and good, but if corn were blue how would the farmer find his field? He would think it was just another patch of beautiful blue sky.....

Isn't there already coloured corn, browns and creams? Isn't that enough for you?

Perhaps, if you could both be a little more patient and wait, the best solution might be having coloured sweet popcorn at the end......

I also support the blue corn resolution. Blue is way underrepresented in the field of eatable plants.

We have purple (e.g. eggplants), red (e.g. beets), orange(e.g. carrots), yellow (old-style corns), green, white, brown... but nothing eatable is ever blue originally.

I support Multicolourlisome, therefore I support blue corns.

As for farmers mistaking blue corns as a patch of sky, we can easily solve the problem by inventing some corn detection goggles.

Ooh, ooh, I want a pair of those goggles! Can I have some, huh, can I have some? I promise not to ask for anything for a whole year, please, please, please! I'll even clean my room and do the dishes without being asked!

I think you would need to be a certified corn farmer to wear those goggles. Inexperienced usage of the corn detection goggles may cause undesirable effects--for instance, someone might mistaken lady bugs as corns. Imagine what will happen when people start selling corn dogs made of lady bugs, won't it be a disaster?

So that's what happened in Winnemucket, in that strange summer of 94! The press reported it was a case of bad hot sauce.
