I just watched the Good Eats episode about corn so I can answer this: Yes, popcorn, hard corn, and sweet corn are all related to each other.

It's to be thrown back at the asshole who gave you candy corn.

I knew of popcorn and sweet corn, but what is hard corn used for today? Animal feed?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

A lot is used for animal feed, but we eat it in corn flakes, corn tortillas, and cornbread, plus it's where they get corn syrup which is in damn near everything. It's also processed into ethanol for both fuel and bourbon.

The most important use of all.

You forgot degradable packing peanuts. Turns out you can modify Cheetos(tm) enough they become viable for packing items for shipment.
