[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always peel back a bit to check. I'm picky about The quality of the food i eat and I've come home with too many crappy ears of corn not to. (I don't seem to have the touch for just "feeling" bad spots.) I don't generally husk it in the store unless there's a bin and I'm headed straight home to cook it.

For the PP who made the Skittles analogy, sorry but it's not the same at all. Skittles are made in a factory and designed and checked specifically so every bag comes out the same. A "bad" bag would be very very rare. Not so for corn at all.[/quote]

I cut open the tomatoes to make sure I get one that's not too grainy.  Sometimes it takes 5-6 before I find a good one.  This is not rude in any way, shape, or form.[/quote]

Again, not applicable.  You can examine a tomato pretty well by just feeling and looking at it, and you have a pretty good idea of what you're going to get.  With corn you can't even see it if it's in the husk.  You run a decent chance of coming home with a bunch of crappy corn.  Buying an extra 1-2 ears isn't necessarily enough.  Also, unlike a tomato, peeling back a small edge of the corn does not make it unusable.  (And anyway, if it looks OK, you buy it.)

Do you have any more analogies to share?  [/quote]
