Ha ha! That's great! I've always wondered what cornflake plants look like.... :)
And I second what Sue said - I very much enjoy your blog and hope the first day at work went well!
You mean beside the fact they're advertising corn flakes with picturesque sheaves of wheat? LOL!!!
Haha. Yummy delicious wheaty-corn. Read the back of your 'cornflour' (cornstarch) too - I don't know about there, but here in Australia, half of the so-called cornflour is made from wheat.
Call me stupid, but I thought that corn is the grain of any cereal crop and that wheat is such a cereal crop.
Aren't cornflakes made from this grain then?
Ash: no, wheat is wheat and corn is corn! They're different plants with different seeds. Thus, someone (ie. me) who is allergic to wheat can eat corn!
LOL- I wrote you a nice reply to your last mail and my internet died. I am writing on a pirated computer. I hope to get the dang thing fixed at some point and when I do th reply will be racing out to you,
Yeah. You should have eaten them before may 13 :p
Ash: heh, yes, in 2008!
I would have totally agreed with you, but then I thought about the word the KJV bible used for wheat: corn. I decided to look it up and sure enough, it means:
"1. A single seed of certain plants, as wheat, rye, barley, and maize; a grain.
2. The various farinaceous grains of the cereal grasses used for food, as wheat, rye, barley, maize, oats."
I would not use the definition this way. To me, corn is maize!
wait? That's not corn growing? :)
Ash, that's really funny! These advertising people need to get out to the fields now and then. :D
That's a good one!!! Whoehaaa!!!Did you check the ingredients list??
Sometimes they just throw lots of other stuff in a product that appears to have just one ingredient. I never eat cornflakes, but I know a cornplant when I see one!!! Did you write the C1000 about it? They should change it, this way children come to believe that's what corn looks like. Like the sometimes think that meat and milk is made by and comes from the supermarkets.
Haha! Brilliant! I always though corn came from those tall stalk with yellow things on it...perhaps I was wrong?
I think I'll pop by the C1000 to have a look at that. And to think someone got paid to design that box....
I may be mistaken, but isn't that wheat on the box?
And do I get a prize for being right AND first to comment/answer, LOL?
(And could my prize be that you visit my blog so Holland will show up on our little virtual pin map, there. The girls would be SOOO thrilled!)
So enjoy your blog, btw. And hope your first day at work went well;)
