'Corn kid' is back with a major announcement at Tony's | USA TODAY

He's famous for liking corn, but right now, all Tariq can think about is cotton candy.

The spun sugary confection was awaiting him in the kitchen, an award he said was promised to him by his mother Jessica for sitting through an interview with USA TODAY.

But the fluffy treat would have to wait. Right now, South Dakota's official Corn-bassador, who recently turned 8, had more pressing matters in need of his response: mainly, what is he doing to celebrate National Corn on the Cob Day, which is Sunday?

These past few days watching my portfolio decline is very disheartening. Holding doesn't really profit much, any idea how on how to earn better on the short run?
