Bust a Nut
So it turns out that this radio ad is real and actually aired.
Albert Holloway invented corn nuts in 1936. His company developing a hybrid of the Cusco corn, a large-kerned corn, that could be grown in California. Corn nuts are then prepared by soaking the whole kernels in water, then deep-frying them in oil. Holloway had nothing to do with this ad. his original company was purchased by Nabisco in 1998.
