Then perhaps you will consider donating to the republican party? The 2024 United States presidential election is on its way, and we could use all the support we can get for upcoming candidate Donald J. Trump to make america great again and defeat crooked Biden. If you are interested, then kindly DM me to get the cash app donation link
Edit: This comment is sponsored by the Trump donation committee but is 100% matter of my own opinion

These bad boys haven't fully ripened yet. You can tell by the yellow base instead of what should be a rich brown on the ripe candy corn kernels. Then you can just discard the orange and white stem.
IIRC there has been speculation that teosinte was originally cultivated for their stalks which were juiced much like sugar cane. Only later when a mutation got rid of the rock hard seed coat did it become a grain crop.
If you have any Asian/Korean markets near you, look for a chip called 꼬깔콘 (Kokkal Cone) Popping Corn chips.
They are the Korean equivalent of bugles, albeit imo a bit sweeter and less savory. Still beats not having bugles at all!
EDIT: There is a version of said chip that comes with closed triangles instead of cones… you will have to find the version with cones. It looks like this, except the original flavor has a red bag.
I will look into this, thank you. I’ll make it a quest objective for my partner. She’s Chinese and loves hunting down food I want (and unlike me, loves going I to Asian markets).
Let’s see, we produce about 7.6 million short tons of corn syrup every year in the US. A short ton is about 240 gallons. So that is about 1.8 billion gallons of corn syrup and those tiny buckets look like roughly a cup per stalk. So that would be approximately 28.8 billion little buckets to collect all that sweet corn syrup.
If everyone helped out with this that worked in the corn industry (183,000 workers) that would mean they would only have to collect around 150,000 cups each. Totally doable I think.
