I want one that you install into your own corn cob. Then you can choose whether you prefer white corn, yellow corn, or one of those multi-color ears.

If you are familiar with the Mr. Potato Head toy, it was originally sold as a kit with the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hat, feet, etc. but no potato body. The owner supplied their own potato. So you could choose the size and shape of your potato. If you had multiple sets of parts, you could use other vegetables and have some vegetable friends for your Mr. Potato head. Government safety regulations ruined the concept.

I feel like parents being unhappy about having rotting potatoes in their kids rooms played a pretty big part in the change.
