I love corn. I used to love doing the whole "typewriter" thing when eating corn on the cob as a kid... (ok, I still do...) But as I've gotten older (no comments from the peanut gallery) I've found that the whole picking corn out of your teeth thing started to get kinda cumbersome. Then I saw somewhere people would cut the corn off the cob with a knife and then eat the pile with a fok, which seemed so much more... civilized? Anyway- now I see this handy gadget (via Outblush) and ... MUST... HAVE!! Any of you use one of these? Do they work?

Corn Zipper

I think this is only for raw corn.
I have one and use it to strip raw corn off the cob, then I cook the kernels in a dry skillet for about 5 minutes to remove the raw taste and mix with black beans, cucumber, jalapeno, sweet onion, and lime juice - it's the best corn salad ever. The corn zipper makes removing the raw kernels from the cob so much easier than cutting them off with a sharp knife. And it's easier to control the kernels as well, when I use a knife I lose about a quarter of the kernels to the floor, but with the zipper all the kernels go into the bowl. I can't recommend it enough!
a much better one just came out by OXO, designed by Mark Naden who designed the mail boxes you mentioned. check it out.
