Macy's Parade Viewers Fighting for Justice for 'Corn Kid' Tariq After His Botched Appearance
Giving Back
Tariq is embracing the spirit of Thanksgiving this holiday season with Green Giant, helping the brand in donating 50,000 cans of corn for Thanksgiving meal boxes. "What is Thanksgiving without corn?" Tariq asked in a press release statement. "Thanksgiving is practically a holiday about corn. I mean, every day could be a holiday if you get to eat corn at some point – but this is the one day that we get to stay home with family, watch a big parade, and then eat corn. Lots and lots of corn. It's my favorite day of the year!"

Viewers were disappointed that Tariq didn't perform a rendition of the viral song that was remixed out of his love for corn.
The corn kid should have performed on the jolly green giant float

Other viewers pointed out that Tariq wasn't actually visible on the float when he was introduced.

'Makes Me So Happy'
Others, however, were simply happy to know Tariq was able to attend the parade in such a major way and remind us all of his adorable and hilarious viral moment.
