First came thecorn, now comes … thepickle?
An adorable three-year-old is threatening to unseat Corn Kid from his viral throne thanks to a new video from Recess Therapy.
In the spot, a blond-haired cutie shares her admiration for the snack, as she answers questions from host Julian Shapiro-Barnum.
“Do you think most three-year-olds like pickles?” Shapiro-Barnum asks the wide-eyed kid, who is not named in the video.
“Yeah!” she answers in a half-scream, “because they’re really sour!”
The toddler then enthusiastically takes a bite of a pickle and rolls her eyes at the seemingly intense flavor.
When the host asks her about other foods she likes, she has a ready answer, too, sharing that she likes broccoli and corn, at which point a picture pops up of Tariq, aka the Corn Kid.

The video started with Tariq saying, “For me, I really like corn,” as he clutched his own grilled corn on a stick. “Ever since I was told that corn was real, it tasted good. “But when I tried it with butter, everything changed! I love corn.”
When music group The Gregory Brothers, also known as Schmoyoho on Youtube and TikTok, turned the interview snippets into acatchy remix, Tariq took off, earning accolades and recognition on the Internet — and in real life.
Tariq was named as South Dakota’s official “Corn-bassador,” and celebrities includingMartha StewartandBarbara Corcoranjoined in on what became a viral trend of posting their own videos with the song.
Kevin Baconplayed an acoustic versionof the remix, and used an ear of corn to strum along to the catchy beat.
