Archie McPhee Funny Opera-Singing Corn on the Cob Gag Gift

Playful aria on the cob

Meet the Archie McPhee Opera-Singing Corn on the Cob, a hard vinyl ear of corn that wakes up with a chorus at the press of a button. Standing about 6.25 inches tall, it delivers one of five operatic sounds, each with a cheeky, theatrical vibe that adds a wink to any room.

How it works
