How do you eat corn on the cob? [clicky]

justrachet · March 2011

someecards.com posted a pic today about how eating corn on the cob shows your personality. (Side to side - organized, up and down - creative, "in and out" - slut.) Rodgers eats side to side, but I go up and down. His is much neater, but I don't know, I like my way of eating it. So how do you eat it?[Poll]

That's pretty funny. Aaron eats it side to side but is anything but organized. I picked up and down but I usually cut it off the cob so it doesnt get stuck in my teeth.

Many, many years ago, my dad taught me to take one bite, then expand out from there, one row at a time. No kernels in the teeth that way, and no residue left on the cob. I've eaten it that way ever since. I suppose I should've chosen SS rather than side to side.

Wait, so you eat it in like an expanding circle? I think I understand your method, but I'm still confused.

And I eat side to side, usually one or two rows at a time after the first row's worth of bites. I'm way to type-a not to eat it in an organized fashion.

That's funny. Rodgers is way less organized than me, but very OCD about certain things.

This would be easier in person... I eat one bite. Then, using my bottom teeth, I pry up the next row of kernels at the bottom edge of the bite, going a little out to either side. Then the next row, going out a little farther so it's forming kind of a pyramid. Or triangle, really. I turn the cob upwards, row by row, revisiting the partly eaten rows as they come around.

I start on the left end - take one bite then go down, take a bit then go down again until I've gone all the way around the cob, the " move over " one spot and start over.

I'm kinda OCD - I don't like any random kernels left.

I eat side to side, but I don't eat the kernels too close to either end. I usually leave two or three up and down rows on each end.

This is a fun poll. I never thought about how I eat it until now. I go side to side but not in an organized fashion. Now I want some

. I'm glad we just bought some the other day.

This is me. Ever since I had braces and had to cut it off, I only like to eat it that way.
