Nowhere in the US has unhusked sweet corn ever been sold by weight... it's sold
either by count or by volume (bushel). Stupidmarkets encourage folks to husk
their corn at the store, otherwise they'll husk it out in the parking lot,
leaving the husks in the shopping carts. I always break off the end and remove
some of the husks, otherwise a dozen ears won't fit into those plastic bags....
and the pointy ends would rip the bag open.
