Some places can get very creative with those things... shrimp, chicken wings, even a hamburger or a piece of pizza. I mean, sometimes you have to wonder how the glass doesn't tip over.

Local Corn Maze Design Unveiled For This Fall’s ‘Harvest Fun Days’
Most weekends I find time to drive to visit my Dad, and on the way, I drive right by the cornfield where Stoney Brook Farms in Foley creates their amazing corn maze each year. My boyfriend noticed it a couple of weeks ago and said, "Hey! That's where the maze is going to be." although you couldn't see exactly what was being created, you could see some of the twists and turns from the road, but soon enough, the corn will grow too high to see any maze formations.
