Corn Day is a legendary internet holiday that originated as a coordinated prank on Reddit's r/memes subreddit. On July 1st, 2018, users flooded the platform with nothing but images of corn to confuse anyone who wasn't in on the secret plan. Since then, the tradition has returned annually, often confusing new users and delighting veterans. The meme took on a second life with the viral 'Corn Kid' (Tariq) interview, merging the original Reddit prank with a wholesome, mainstream appreciation for 'the big lump with knobs.' It is now a staple of internet culture, used to celebrate wholesome enthusiasm or to simply carry on the tradition of confusing the uninitiated every July.
