The Onion gets this one right!

Though to be perfectly fair, a Taiwanese factory who made housewares back in "the Day" claimed that these would be thrown away after one use - maybe my family is descended from Nova Scotian amateur carpenters, but I don't think we'd throw them away after one use.

Also, in my google search I found about a million kinds of corn on the cob holders. Aren't these ones cute? I know I already own several sets, but at 1.99 for a 4 pack , I can't resist buying a set.
