Popping Socks

A new idea in socks. Cover your toes with socks made from corn. That's right, corn. No, not 'corns', your feet may already have those. They cost 20% more than traditional socks and go on sale in Japan in the next few months.
I'm not so sure this is such a great idea. 'Creating' new markets for your agricultural products can only go so far. The US corn industry is pushing this idea.
So, what's next, iPod's made from Apples?
