I do love my creamed corn and corn on the cob, but, my love for Korn has been brewing since the 90s, so I'll go with that.

Any kind of corn I can actually digest, instead of it passing through my system whole.

Damn you and your complex proteins!

I totally forgot to put popcorn on there.

But popcorn's lame... really people just like the butter.

All corn is foul and insufferable... and as I live in the Cornhusker state, my plight is that much worse.

I don't like corn on the cob, too phallic. And Freud is corny.

BTW, for the unitiated, here are corn nuts:

They come in this package:

Caramel corn is like popcorn, but all caramel-dipped, and usually eaten cold out of the bag as opposed to hot and buttery.

But everyone really ought to know that by now. I mean come on, it's the 21st century!

You forgot popcorn.
Santa Barbara

Yeah I know, but my reasoning is people mostly like popcorn cuz it's slathered in butter. Gross. Like they go to the movie theater and get hot liquid butter squirted out of that metal jet thing into the bucket. Gross.

Butter is gross in general. I don't mind it's use in cooking, but I don't consider it a condiment.

Besides, butter bears too much resemblence to lard:http://www.deliaonline.com/picturelibrary%5Cjpeg150/la/lard.jpg

mmm, butter be tasty. However, I work at a movie theater, and I would say that no more than half of the people ask for butter. It's about half and half and people like it evenly. Besides, people put butter on regular corn too..

I hate popcorn, and I hate going to movie theaters because there's always people eating popcorn around and it stinks.

True but, there were only ten options. I had to make a sacrifice, and popcorn it was. It was a hard decision, but I am confident that you will still elect me for President.

It's the concept of smearing animal fat on food that puts me off. That and the gooey, fat like texture. I'm not a vegetarian or anything, far from it, but like in meats and stuff? The fat parts? Gross! Chomping on fat is for Eskimos. And butter is just fat, semi-liquified and pasty.

I would have sacrified "Korn" - that band sucks so much.

Don't worry, you still have my vote. If you leave my region and let me have the top spot again! (OK, so currently 9 people need to leave to accomplish that... oh well.)

I will destroy them all.

(I had to put Korn on there as an anti-dipshit measure. The number of votes for Korn becomes the error margin for the other votes.)

Like I said, I'd guess that only 50% of American movie-goers like butter on their popcorn plus you've made a bad argument because people also put butter on regular corn.

My argument had nothing to do with popcorn so much, as a general anti-butter digression rant.

Really, I just forgot to put popcorn on there. OK? Sue me!

That could've been the first thing you said? You also could've left an "other" option so I could have still voted for popcorn even though you forgot about it.

Popcorn is terrible, though. Corn on the cob owns it anyday (besides, I'm sure it's much healthier for you).

In that case, I think George W. Bush should be left off the presidential ballot.

I didn't leave popcorn off. And I didn't see SB saying he didn't like it. I'm just ranting for no reason here.

I don't like popcorn, no. But I left it off because I forgot it. Then, having remembered that I forgot it, I wasn't bothered so much because popcorn sucks.
