"40% of what you see when you enter a supermarket has corn in it, including the cardboard boxes and sheetrock walls."
On the list below, sure enough, there is gypsum wallboard.
A few others I liked: cylinder heads, tires, disposable diapers, shaving cream, shoe polish and wallpaper.
I'd like to meet the man that first looked at an ear of corn and thought, "There's a disposable diaper in there somewhere."
