Corn is in pretty much everything we buy off the shelf in grocery stores. There are things like corn flour, corn syrup, corn oil, and other compounds that come from corn that are used in foods like pudding, Twinkies, potato chips, soda pop, salad dressing, etc. Corn is even used as an animal feed, and is found as meat from pork, chicken and beef. Corn is packaged up and sold on the produce market as husked corn for making corn-on-the-cob, or partly dehusked and sold on a styrofoam platter wrapped in cellophane. Corn kernels are packaged up and frozen to be boiled up on the stove for supper; corn is even pickled and canned. The list is endless.

It is used in some paper, as an adhesive for wallpaper, and to feed livestock. Cornstarch also serves as an electrical conductor in batteries.

It's also used to produce a biofuel called ethanol, as well as some bio-plastics.
