For example:

  • When you open a fresh jar of peanut butter do you only work through one side until it is completely empty then start on the other side?

  • Or when you get those shallow tubs of hummus does it have to make it back home undisturbed? Then one of the baggers at the grocery store shoves it sideways into the bag completely ruining the symmetry.

    Corn on the cob must be eaten from left to right. You must eat all the way around the cob so that section is clean before moving on to the next section. I suppose I’d accept right to left in the same fashion; it’s the people who take totally random bites with no rhyme or reason or uniformity that make me crazy.

      Ooh, I’m more typewriter with mine. Left to right in horizontal lines.

      Question, do you rotate up or down? I always hate the first row because there isn’t a kernel to bite through cleanly with my eye teeth so I always rotate up.

        Up or down, doesn’t matter (although I may pick one unconsciously, I’ll have to pay more attention next time), as long as you get it all before moving to the next section.

      I thought this was universal corn law

      I like taking a bite anywhere on the cob, turn it randomly, bite somewhere else leaving little corn “islands” along the way. Bite, turn, bite.
