Sweet corn would look something like that if you let it mature beyond the edible stage.

For a sec, I was thinking, "what the hell is dent corn" and then a realized that "dent" was literal. I'm guessing that the deal is that once they get to the point that they have a dent in the top of the kernels that they are "over-ripe" and don't taste as good or something like that?
