Pegasus Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 One DD eats it like a typewriter (biting all the way across the cob and then rotating slightly) while the other DD eats it rotisserie style (biting and turning in a ring and then working down the length of the cob). They wanted a poll posted to see how common their "style" is. :D Poll coming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Typewriter style. It's like the odd eat around the apple vs eat top to bottom debate, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I cut the corn off the cob. I don't find it enjoyable to get bits of corn lodged in my teeth while I eat, so cutting it off the cob fixes that. :D Zee likes it cut off like me. Moose eats it on the cob, but I think he bites it kind of randomly. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I eat around the cob. ...Annnnd there's yet another random bit of knowledge about me, now forever out there in cyberspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in AL Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Wow. I'm the only "other"? I just sort of bite into it. By that, I mean, I don't eat typewriter style or go all the way around. I do, however, make my bites next to each other, so there aren't patches of kernels left behind (my OCD self wouldn't be able to stand that). I take a bite, another bite above, and then another bite next to that, then again below, creating a sort of 'square', then continue that 'pattern'. Dd, however, doesn't care for corn (on the cob or other), so she takes what we call 'mouse bites'. As in it looks like a mouse has nibbled all around the cob! :lol: I don't know how everyone else eats theirs, as I haven't paid attention. I will in the future, though, as now you have made me curious!! :lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Typewriter style, about 3-4 rows at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 OTher, I do a little of both. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krista in LA Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I said other because it depends on my mood or sometimes I use a combination of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I eat it typewriter style (after eating the ends rotisserie style to give me "knobs" to hold on to). However, I prefer to cut the corn off the cob and only eat it on the cob if I can't for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tohru Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Typewriter style always reminds me of those old Looney Tune cartoons back in the day. I prefer to cut the corn off the cob, but if I must eat it on the cob, I alternate, 1 row across, then around once, 1 row across, then around again...It's because one of my parents did it one way, the other the other way and I didn't want to "affiliate" with either, less I hurt one or the other's feelings. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 We have 3 typewriters, 1 rotisserie and 1 who doesn't like corn so I voted typewriter. My poor dd will need her corn cut off this season as she just lost her two top teeth. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 And now I'm wondering if there's anybody who just asked, "Typewriter style? What's that?" :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
