Beijing Corn

Beijing Corn is a slang term that refers to the practice of eating food that is cheap and filling, but lacks nutritional value.

This term originates from Beijing, the capital city of China, where it is common to find street vendors selling corn on the cob as a quick and inexpensive snack. The term “Beijing Corn” is now used to describe any type of cheap and filling food that may not provide much nutritional value.

Examples:
1. “I’m so hungry but I only have a few dollars. I guess I’ll have to settle for some Beijing Corn from the convenience store.”
2. “Instead of ordering a healthy meal, he opted for Beijing Corn again because it’s cheap and he’s on a tight budget.”
