Reply to comment by laughingmeeses in TIL: "Popcorn" is not simply a descriptive term, but also refers to a specific variety of corn which has the unique characteristic of being able to pop, while the other five varieties of corn do not have this capability. by greenappletree
kinda getting off topic
pickles/cucumbers - button mushroom/portabello - mung beans /bean sprouts - dried/baked beans
there are all kinds of differences in food that can result from the cultivation and preparation rather than the cultivar
most people in north america would be familiar with the example i gave and wouldnt have a reason to believe that corn would be any different
in fact - the difference between sweet corn and popcorn is relatively mild compared to most of those other examples
