MY People Call it "Maize"

Lots of cultures call it “maize” and call grains “corn”

A-maize-balls.

I remember that commercial well!

The memory of her delivery of her lines still makes me laugh!

R1 didn't get the joke

I grew up poor and only ate margarine. Awful stuff but a convenient vegan substitute for butter.

What was up with "oleo?"

I remember this and the Ancient Chinese Secret commercial. Anyone remember Ewell Gibbons the Grape Nuts man? I remember the commercials and hearing he died. I thought he was some kind of star. Who the fuck was Ewell Gibbons anyway?

Maize? I don’t remember eating maize.

LOL the woman in the commercial delivering her lines like an AI robot

I live in a maize.

The crying Indian

To me, maize was...a crayon.

He ate dirt R7

She did a Longmire episode in 2012.

Lots of straight guys had the hots for her.

This one is closer to canon OP - but didn’t the first one feature the “ancient Indian digging stick?”

First Nations!

You know that actress is probably some Italian girl with straightened hair.

Back in the day there was a joke about Euell Gibbons, the dirt eating Grape Nuts guy.

“Did you hear Euell Gibbons died? He choked on a chair leg.”

Unnaturally good saturated trans fat for artery clogging the unnatural way.

Anyone know what R19 is on about?

There are thousands and thousands of uses for corn, all of which I will tell you about right now.

Great movie, R22! Jan Hooks @ The Alamo

R16 yes that's the one I was thinking about!

The chapter on corn in this book us fascinating!

If you spill some Mazola on your fancy clothes, I know an "ancient Chinese secret" that might help!

How does she eat with such a tiny mouth?

One of the first penthouse letters I ever read involved Mazola - the oil not the margarine.

"My husband. Some HOTSHOT!"

I thought those long distance runners carried with them baggies of cocaine.

Maize?

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature!

Now THAT is the Mother of All Fraus! R31

R6, that's what we used to call margarine.

If you think it's butter, but it's snot......

Do you realize that was 43 yrs ago, OP? ...well I'm nostalgic, too. Listening to Rush right now.

Spanish - maíz

French - maïs

Italian - mais

Filipino - mais

German - Mais

Dutch - maïs

Danish - majs

You called it Smallpox- we called it 'This land is your land'.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is brought to you by Mazola. Mazola—it’s made from maize.

Beautiful hair, though. I wish the natural hair trends of the 1970s would make a comeback. The women had really beautiful hair. But they were also thin, tanned, and even athletic by today's standards.

The white man pushed her out of the Land 'O Lakes

I like being maizeholed.

When I was alive going to the bathroom sometimes was surprisingly a-maize-ing!

That commercial is when the corporations started pushing corn oil margarine and oils on the US public. Corn in and of itself can be nutritious in it's natural form. It is the manufacturing processing to produce corn oil and other highly processed corn byproducts that is incredibly bad for your health. Avoid it by al means.

You rang?

Does she have Maizonality?

R15 lies

You know watching this commercial for like the fifth time this night and being drunk I feel like this had to be the inspiration in part of Jenna Maroney on 30 Rock and her constantly saying naturally and also her character on Kimmy Schmidt being of native origin. It just fits too well.

WHET the days of pull tabs, K-Cars and casual and hilarious racial stereotyping?

The mainstay of the Alamo diet is CORN.
