I have recently encountered a growing number of people cutting it off the cob instead of holding it and eating it like a real Iowan. I understand if you have dental issues that make it difficult. However, it was always meant to be eaten straight off the cob. Nothing completes a summer day in this great state like biting into a fresh cob of salted buttery goodness like that feeling.
Properly eating corn on the cob

On the cob. You do about 4-5 rows at a time, typewriter style.
What kind of psychopath cuts the corn off?
And not rinsed off. You should not be able to just hold it however long you want to in your hands, keep your hands moving because of the heat.
There's a reason it's called corn ON the cob and not corn off the cob.
Some people think you just eat the cob and all
I thought only children and the elderly cut it off the cob
Beat me to it. If you are not a solid enough human to eat corn right off the cob. We can't be friends. Especially if you live in or you are from Iowa. Only Exceptions
Older folks with bad teeth.
Older Folks with Dentures
Kids with Braces.
Meth Heads with bad teeth.
Otherwise sack up and eat the corn right off the cob.
$50 says there's a hawkeye logo on the front of that cap.Some people think you just eat the cob and all
The only correct answer. (Except I do one row at a time, rather than 4-5.)
Straight off the cobb of course. Now, I prefer to eat it in a circular motion instead of like a typewriter. This is because I put so much butter on it that I don’t want it to all drip off. Keep rotating it while eating in a circle.
You guys reminded me of one my faves, Mitch Hedberg:
"You know they call corn-on-the-cob "corn-on-the-cob," right? But that's how it comes out of the ground, man. They should call that "corn", and they should call every other version "corn-off-the-cob." It's not like if you cut off my arm you would call my arm "Mitch", but then reattach it and call it "Mitch-all-together."
