It is very upsetting to my grandmother that we don't have one of these. Apparently, the corn broom is the ultimate all-purpose creation. I have seen her use it to sweep floors, sidewalks, and driveways. I've also been witness to it being used to sweep the carpet (no need for a vacuum), clean snow off a car, and to sweep leaves out of the yard. That's right, it replaces the rake & leaf blower. And while I can't confirm it, she may use it for transportation as well. I kid because I care...sorta.
