The Tales or Tails of Sweet Cron

The Tales or Tails of Sweet Cron.

No I did not hiccup or make an incorrect misspelling. I live in an area that has all kinds of signs from all kinds of businesses. One sign that I have seen over the years proudly is labeled with the words SWEET CRON and an arrow pointing in the general direction of a farmer's produce/product stand. At first I thought it was a sign that had been hurriedly made and posted. The paint began to fade. But sure enough over the past couple of years.. Someone has gone out and faithfully repainted the sign with nice bright/fresh paint. Still the words SWEET CRON proclaims itself to the world. Oddly enough you can only buy SWEET CRON if you travel North on the freeway. there is a companion sign facing toward the Southbound traffic that proclaims that if you are traveling in that direction you can find SWEET CORN at the same farmer's produce stand!

I am afraid to ask the farmer what procedure is made if you drive onto his property. Does he make you turn around loop back on the freeway in the correct direction in order to buy your favorite bag of SWEET CRON or SWEET CORN ?

Is there some secret digestive problem with people are going Southbound that they cannot Digest SWEET CRON ? My theory is that air popped SWEET CRON , can only be popped safely in a northbound direction. So by selling SWEET CRON to cars traveling north will minimize accidents of some unknown nature.

What is more fattening? Sweet Corn or Sweet Cron? Is it just a marketing scheme to make people going in either direction on a freeway feel more special? Is it an intelligence test where Southbound people are fooled into thinking that the farmer's stand is just a Sweet Corn Sales outlet, when luscious SWEET CRON is sold if you know the correct monkey handshake and your car is driving in the correct direction? I need to know! Is this a pre-Internet keyword marketing test?

But I am not alone... It seems that there is some type of Sweet Cron conspiracy does exist.

For example in this blog by APRILMAY shows such a thing does crop up somewhere else in the country. I said crop up. Is this a reference to SWEET CRON CROP CIRCLES! ?

Plantings of Sweet Cron are observed in Ohio in 2001.

Even the Google search engine seems to have been convinced to play along with the hiding of the luscious Sweet Cron.

Using this search will return as of this posting some 400+ matches. How many are observances of SWEET CRON sightings in the world? However notice that the search engine politely asks . "Do you mean Sweet Corn? " How sinister. :) Could it be that in the future that cars and vehicles will be running on Sweet Cron oil? Its just a plan to keep the rest from investing on Sweet Cron futures?

Toys and SWEET CRON?

Even this Youtube video has a comment by someone who had sweet cron as a child. Something connected with them to post such related to a retro-commerical of Stretch Artmstrong.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lw17Pb7Nso

This fellow has seen a SWEET CRON sign, but not has fallen under its spell. Maybe he just didn't get close enough to be under its spell.

Or maybe its just safer to stay Southbound on the freeway and buy Sweet Corn for my table and not worry about it.


I never asked the farmer. No doubt the sign works very well for him. I suppose he has been very happy creating all this attention. Certainly more interesting than Sweet Corn! :) I hope he is laughing all the way to the bank with the extra business! :)


Just as I Closed this posting, I found another soul looks like they took a picture of the same sign. However it looks like they are heading south in this picture. Is the SWEET CRON signage being sneaky and changing when we are not looking? My head spins at the possibilities.

Honestly Sweet Cron people.

Your secret is Safe! Good Sales to whatever it is called!

Of course .. I am setting myself up to be corrected. At which point I will be glad to to say like Gilda Radner used to say at the close of some of SNL Skits .. "Nevermind"
