Can we talk about the 'Corn Kid' and that random Syracuse fair interview?

I was at the New York State Fair last August and walked right past the guy filming that interview, not thinking anything of it. A week later, my whole feed was that kid talking about corn! It made me realize how much pure, random joy can drive a clip way more than any planned strategy. Has anyone else seen a moment go viral from a place or event they were actually at?

The Syracuse newspaper said the fair gets over a million visitors, so the odds were pretty low.

Honestly that whole thing felt super staged and planned to me from the start.

My cousin's kid got interviewed about funnel cake at that same fair, but the camera guy just walked away when he started talking.
