The zen of corn on the cob

[unixronin]

Comparative corn-eating styles:

• I start at the small end and eat kernels in a continuous spiral until I reach the large end.
• cymrullewes starts at the right end and eats in a row to the other end, then indexes à là typewriter and works in the other direction.
• Goose starts at the big end, eats a continuous ring with sort of rapid squirrel nibbles, then indexes over.
• Pirate just sort of attacks hers at random as she rotates it, leaving it looking as though it's been savaged by a ferocious chipmunk.
• Wen gives hers to Goose to eat.  :-)

Remember when margarine was white and came with coloring packs you had to add to it yourself to make it look like butter?

Why are bananas bad for you?

Coloring packs......?!?

This is something that never made it across the Atlantic. (Thankfully.)

According to Wikipedia, the color capsules were caused by laws inacted by the dairy lobby.

I don't remember anymore. They might not be bad for you, but they apparently aren't as good for you as everyone has always thought.
