My plastic cup
-is apparently made of corn. Seriously, corn.
...
I mean, it's kinda cool and all... but it also drives home the point that corn just ain't right. o.o
Grows almost anywhere, can be used to produce fuel (even if not efficiently), can be used to produce plastics, is killing many people slowly in its high-fructose syrup form, can result in a vitamin deficiency disease in humans when relied on too much as a staple and not processed correctly...
If the Other Gods have a food crop, it'd be corn. "Scions first plucked from silent Nithon in her mourning shroud round Yuggoth, behold the maize as it grows, resplendent and cruel as the smiling teeth of Nyarlathotep who gifted them to man..."
