Corn on the cob
Corn on the cob. Does anyone know of a store in the area selling fresh corn on the cob. Frys, Safeway, Bashas and Sprouts all selling last years corn that's been in storage.

Where is your information from? I am under the impression that the corn at Sprouts is fresh, which is why they only get it during certain times of year, at least this is what employees told me.

Is that what an employee told you?

No. I was raised in corn country and recognize old corn and fresh corn when I see it. Do you believe that employees know where and how fresh their produce is. They are told by the management that things are fresh.

Well, Arizona is not corn country, so it had to be stored and shipped here from someplace. While it may not have been harvested this week, it's probably relatively fresh, a month or so old and has been on ice and was thawed to be sold at the store. Corn still on the cob is not typically stored for long periods of time, for long term storage it is dried out. The economics of storing corn long term do not make sense unless it is dried out, so I highly doubt it is 'last years corn' as you claim. It was most likely harvested earlier this summer. I could be wrong but that's the little I know. Apples, in contrast, can typically be stored for up to 10 months, in some cases longer, but this is because of physiological and economic difference between the crops.

Haha this sentence right here makes you sound as snotty as that lady who complained about The Melting Pot closing down.

Back in the day people would stock their outhouses with [corncobs] (https://www.farmersalmanac.com/what-did-people-use-before-toilet-paper-24419) to use as toilet paper.

Isn't corn a fall harvest? 🤔
