For the life of me, I can't figure out what using those 'corn stabbers'
has to do with less messy eating of buttered corn - even if you use them
you still have to bring them (and the corn) up to your teeth to munch the
kernels - and that still doesn't stop drips of butter all over your
blouse/shirt. So what am I missing here?
