I have seen corn-on-the-cob for sale all over Eastern Europe, throughout
Central America (and yes, people were buying and eating it). It's actually
quite popular steet food on the Western shore of the Adriatic amd the East
coast of the Black Sea. There is a resort town (Varna) in Bulgaria where
they sell real corn-on-the-cob right next to imitation popcorn, so go
figure.
