I have mentioned before how the city slickers in advertising come up with product names that do not compute. I have mentioned chicken balls and chicken fingers, neither of which any chicken had when I grew up on the farm. And chicken nuggets were what stuck to the bottom of your sneaker.

As I scan through this weeks sales flyers left at my door, I see a new one. Yes a new one. Those city slicker advertising execs must have been working overtime on this one.

I can see them sitting in the boardroom now saying: "We have this funny looking corn that we have to market, its yellow, with yellow spots. How are we going to sell that?"

"I dunno," says another, "we could call it two colour." "Yellow - yellow!" says the next. "That makes it sound like it is not right, that there is something wrong with it," says the next exec.

"That bi-colour corn is giving me a headache." says the sleepy one in the corner. "Bi-colour, bi-colour, that's it," says the first one. "Bi-colour corn! It fits the description perfectly. And it it is politically correct, no kick backs there."

Well it looks like corn finally came out of the closet. I realize in some countries corn is only considered as food for cows. But for the rest of us, you city slickers have your bi-colour corn. Myself and the rest of the country folk will have our delicious 'Peaches & Cream' corn, with butter, salt, a little pepper, mmm . . .
