在他的带领下，国外各大社交平台被各式各样的“玉米”占领了，人们狂热地参与到了关于玉米的讨论中。
在视频中，塔里克聊到了他最喜欢的玉米配料，如何去结交“玉米”朋友，分享了他受玉米启发的舞蹈动作，甚至还祝大家都度过“玉快的一天（corntastic day）”。
The video was watched over 11 million times on YouTube. In the video Tariq chatted about his favourite toppings to put on corn, how to make corn-friends, sharing his corn-inspired dance moves, and even wishing everyone a “corntastic day!”
For me, I really like corn.
对我来说，我超喜欢玉米。
Ever since I was told that corn was real, it tastes good.
自从我知道玉米是真的之后，它就很好吃。
But when I tried it with butter, everything changed! I love corn.
但当我试着配上黄油的时候，一切都变了！我爱玉米！
Not everyone has to like it to be the best, everyone just has to try it.
我不是让所有人都认为玉米是最好的，但大家都应该试试。
有网友说，生活在一个物产丰盈、物资充足的时代，人们在五颜六色的货架前挑花了眼，很少有人会像塔里克一样坚定地选择玉米。
他对玉米的热情迅速刷爆网络，人们为这个玉米小子而疯狂，在TikTok上掀起了一阵“玉米潮”。甚至还有人为此编了一首魔性的“玉米之歌”：

It’s CORN!
是玉米啊
A big lump with knobs.
一个带圆粒的大块头
It has the juice.
还很多汁
I can’t imagine a more beautiful thing.
我想象不出比这更美好的东西了
The Corn-bassador and his family traveled from New York to attend an honorary ceremony at the state’s Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota.
Tariq couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the palace made of corn. “It’s a dream come true!”
“I’m not reading the negative comments,” Jessica said. “Before it was really getting to me because people were saying really mean stuff like, ‘He’s being exploited,’ ‘He’s being forced to do these things.’
Tariq hopes eventually people will stop asking him about corn. “I really want to go to the park, but I can’t until I’m done with this,” Tariq said when asked what he would rather discuss instead.
