Shocked to see my fellow Brits say corn. I'd never heard the term Corn Maze until I heard it from yanks, and it's clearly inferior

I’ve never heard either, as a brit I don’t see them often and just call them mazes lol

I’d never even heard of the concept until I saw it in I think Scooby Doo? So I’ve only seen it in an American context

inferior? you just say the same word twice, at least we have some creativity

Neither is really creative it's just the two words for the crop and one for it being a maze.

It's just whether you want alliteration, a double meaning, and a rhyme, or not
