What Can’t You Do With Corn?

I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day! Drop us a comment if you did anything particularly interesting.

As usual, I collected my crew and we went exploring on our Ruckuses (there are four of us now). We explored the psychic epicenter, Cassadaga, and scooted a little further to Lake Helen after finding that our intended restaurant was closed. But they're psychic - shouldn't they have known we were coming?

Anyway, we found a delightful little place, and I'd share the name if I could remember it. But what caught my eye was oddly enough - their cups!

These things were made entirely from Corn, to my understanding. They felt like regular cups and all (we tried eating them, it didn't work - we didn't try microwaving them with butter to see if they'd pop though), but supposedly they're compostable. So you can just toss them in your back yard and they'll break down in a month or so. I was tempted to take mine home and try it out - maybe next time.

Corn - what can't you do?

I do wish you didn't drop my gas mileage with your ethanol but... well that's another corn discussion. What has corn done for you lately?
