  i was at the wet market earlier to buy corn.
  
  the normal type is going at 2 for $1.
  
  i saw one in very green leaves. i was told the corn is part white part yellow. it is going at $1.50 a piece.
  
  has anyone tried before?

  Oh so the $1 makes up for the difference in colour and extra leaves.

  i assume the extra dollar, leaves and the difference in colour means it is much tastier.

  i wonder if anyone has tried it.
  
  $1.50 per pc is 3 times the normal ones.

  I don't know about that; but I LOVE the corn overseas.
  More variety; and creamier.

  why is it 3 times more expensive then?
  
  there must be something good about the white/yellow corn, isnt it?

  Maybe the demand for such funky corn isn't as high, hence the high price?

  chain effect?
  
  no demand leads to higher price, higher price in turn leads lesser demand.

  Just like the nokia 6280 and its super fast price dip. Dropped $150 within 4 months of its release. Look at the sirocco, 4 months and its price still remains at $1398.

  maybe cos expected demand not high, they cannot import in bulk and enjoy bulk savings loh.
  
  and maybe also because er, maybe usually farmers grow mainly the pure-yellow kind of corn, so to grow a crop different from their usual kind... they want to charge more?
