Did you know "Corn on the Cob" comes in 8 different colors?!
I didn't either, until I found a fully cooked piece of it in the back for the fridge. That's right! 8 different colors of mold and other freaks of nature were growing on this long forgotten thing. I figure its been there since September.
I'm surpised the ziploc bag had not disintegrated from the radioactive sludge growing from within.

For the first time in many ages, I was in a Ryans Steakhouse last week (one of those trough-o'-buffet steakhouse joints for the uninitiated).
Sitting there as one of the feeding trough choices was, stunning at least to me as I'd never seen anything remotely like it, was what appeared to be deep-fried-corn-on-the-cob-on-a-stick. Actually not appeared to be, but was.
I simply could not let the opportunity pass w/out trying one of those bizarre looking things. Must have been made w/ some kind of spicy batter, as the thing was, god help me to admit it, utterly delicious. Spicy coating, but w/ a concentrated, seemingly far sweeter than normal, sweet corn guts. Plus the whole on-a-stick thing made it simultaneously comical & EZ to shovel in @ about 15 seconds. Even knowing how bad the thing _must_ be for the old system, actually had to fireup the old willpower to resist getting another. Good old USA - we can deepfry anything.
p.s. I'm sure if I frequented state fairs & the like I'd see similar/likely odder things being peddled at those Carnival food booths that fry up anything & everything, but it still brought me up short for some reason.

What Mexicans do is make corn-on-to-cob with mayo on it and chile powder on it. It's not bad. Just make sure you get a fresh one with fresh mayo, or very bad things happen. Ask my wife.

Speaker2Animals - We have those at Fire Mountain Grill. They're good, but they always seem to be cold there.
Eel Snave - Let me get this straight. They boil the corn on teh cob, and instead fo putting butter on it, they put mayonnaise? And then coat the mayo with chili powder? That sounds atrocous, but then again, I put mayo on my fries. What happened to your wife?
