Happy Souvenir Sunday from Des Moines International Airport

Each Sunday at StuckatTheAirport.com is Souvenir Sunday, when we take a look at some of the fun, inexpensive and offbeat souvenirs you can buy at airports.

This week’s souvenir comes to us from Twitter buddy, @Cassivella (Melissa Odom) who sent along a snapshot titled “Evil Corn” found for sale at Des Moines International Airport (DSM).

Corn souvenir Des Moines airport

Bundled all together like that, I can see how they can look a bit evil.

But as we learned a while back from Pam Hinman at Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids, the 6-inch tall Corny Cobs (yes, they have a name) are big sellers.  And when on their own these little guys look, well, just corny, not evil.

Have you found a great souvenir while Stuck at The Airport? If it’s around $10, “of” the city or region and, ideally, a bit offbeat, please take a photo and send it along. It may end up featured on a future edition of Souvenir Sunday. And if it is, I’ll mail you a souvenir from StuckatTheAirport.com.

Souvenir Sunday: corny stuff from Des Moines International Airport

Each Sunday at Stuck at the Airport we take a look at some of the fun things for sale at airports that are under $10, “of” the city or region and, ideally a bit offbeat.

Usually I rule out shot glasses because they’re everywhere and just too easy to find. But we must make an exception this week for this shot glass, sent in by Stuck at the Airport fan Ken Rogers.

Ken found this corny souvenir at the Des Moines International Airport (DSM) and was kind enough to send a photo along.

THANKS!

I was also willing to make an exception for this corny shot glass because it gave me the opportunity to bring back another fun Sunday Souvenir from Iowa:

IOWA Corny Cob

Corny Cob:  a 6-inch tall stuffed ear of corn that’s a best seller at Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids.

Have you found a great souvenir at the airport?  If it’s under $10, “of” the city or region and a wee bit offbeat, please take a photo and send it along.

It may be featured on a future edition of Souvenir Sunday!
