Your interest in all things corn is beginning to worry,please don't start telling jokes...
There were two old men sitting on a bench....
Oh! sorry, you said I mustn't tell any jokes
It is not so much an 'interest' more a curiosity. I do like trying to understand the sorts of things that we all, me included. like to take for granted. By discovering the root of anything, it is far easier to understand.
One thing just leads on to another. The tinned corn thing started when somebody on one of the Facebook pages posted the question "What corn do you use?" The answers came thick an fast but were only people's preference about what was cheapest, what tasted better etc. It was all conjecture and very little fact. So I went out and spent about twenty-five quid on sweetcorn and set about fact finding the results of which I published on my bolg.
I learnt a lot, and even changed my view on what I was using. I hope other found it useful and even only a little bit interesting - be honest, I won't tell anyone!
It was after talking about sweetcorn and fishing just the skins that I thought about the corn flakes. I have no idea whether it will work or not, but I love to have a go at this sort of thing. It is all about having fun. I just love experimenting and analysing the results. I am making myself sound like a geek, and maybe I am in some peoples eyes but who cares, it is meant to be enjoyable and I like to share what I discover.
My current project is to unravel all the knotty problem of hook length lengths and how to tie it perfectly every time - it also involves that bloke who had an interest in triangles and circles. Again after reading some brash claims that had no basis in fact.
BTW, I don't tell jokes, I am far too serious for such frivolity.
