Age
I was on vacation in Seattle a couple of weeks ago. Tour guides at the Space Needle claim that the corn dog was introduced at the 1962 World's Fair. Obviously if it actually dates to the '40s and Texas, they're wrong ... but where did this idea come from? --FOo 23:42, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I think the key word is "introduce" which is not the same as invented. --Gbleem 23:01, 25 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Maize vs. corn
Changed maize to corn, because using maize in the article is horribly pretentious.--drew1718 23:10, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Oh, come on! who calls it maize in this context... There is a reason it is a CORN dog... chris 20:48, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Many people outside of the U.S. would not know what we mean when we say corn. They would think it was covered in wheat or oats. --Gbleem 07:51, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Gbleem is right, I wasn't thinking globally. --drew1718 06:01, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Canadians and 'pogos'
I'm a Canadian, and although I've heard of the brand name Pogo... I've never heard corndogs called pogos (generically). Everyone I know calls them corndogs. I've only lived in Alberta and BC however. Is this a wholly eastern Canadian thing?
