Today is national Corn on the cop day. Corn. It

16
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.399
was first domesticated around ten thousand years ago in southern Mexico.

17
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.400
Now what a great excuse for a cookout today. So

18
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.760
whatever you're cooking, just make sure he includes some corn

19
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.079
on the cob. It is healthy for now. If you

20
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.079
want to win to bet the rows of corn on

21
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.519
the cob, they're always even so, usually around sixteen rows,

22
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.799
and he's corn on the cob has around eight hundred kernels.

23
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:19.120
Of course, it depends what kind of corner eating. Today

24
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.239
is also national say Hiday, I honestly think that should

25
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.400
be a little bigger day. Say hi day. It was

26
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.000

28
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.159
joy in life was greeting everyone he met by saying

29
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:35.840
hi in a big smile. Seems pretty simple. I think

00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:38.000
we can all handle that for a day. Now, Remember

feen high. Yep, they filled it with popcorn. They don't

88
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.680

89
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.160
