Responses:

ok, I bought ten. do I need to go to the grocery store to get more? steph and charlie both say 12 as well. - amanda jones state university Aug 18, 10:32 4
- No one is going to be miffed. Everyone will get 1 and the really hungry boys will eat the other 4 -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 18, 10:36
- 10 is fine. don't worry bout it. -- nm - colin Aug 18, 10:35
- 10 should be fine. -- nm - znufrii Aug 18, 10:33 1
  - agreed. -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 10:34
Max 18. Probably more like a dozen in actuality but I'd want to be covered so I will say 16 -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 18, 10:31 10
- are we talking about full sized cobs here???? - groiny Aug 18, 10:32 9
  - I'd eat 2 guaranteed. -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 18, 10:35 3
    - interesting. - groiny Aug 18, 10:36 2
      - I love really good corn on the cob -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 18, 10:38 1
        
        oh, I do as well, but I find one cob to be sufficient. - groiny Aug 18, 10:39
  - dan says "cut the cobs in half so people feel like they're eating more. then ten is way enough." -- nm - amanda jones state university Aug 18, 10:33 4
    - that is a valid point. -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 10:34 3
      - but then we have to boil, not cook on grill --nm - amanda jones state university Aug 18, 10:36 2
        
        Grill then cut before serving. -- nm - Andie Aug 18, 10:39
        
        why can't you cook it on the grill? - groiny Aug 18, 10:37
do people eat more than 1 with dinner? -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 10:31 10
- This is my thinking. I would have said 6. MAYBE 8. This is the side, not the entree. -- nm - Ender Aug 18, 10:40 2
  - *hand wavy motion* -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 10:45
  - word. -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 10:40
- Done right, I start with 3. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 18, 10:33 5
  - I cook mine on the grill with butter and some black pepper - groiny Aug 18, 10:35 4
    - *starts with three* -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 18, 10:36 3
      - *uses the cobs as toothpicks* -- nm - Aaron Judge Aug 18, 10:38 2
        
        Strike out some more. -- nm - Shaun Aug 18, 10:42 1
        
        35 games in a row, breaks record set by Adam Dunn. -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 10:43
- 2, max. (except teenage boys. They can eat 10.) -- nm - Andie Aug 18, 10:32
18. Maybe 24. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Aug 18, 10:29
This is a new low for, "I don't know nuthin' 'bout no kitchens!" Mary. A new low Whatmary. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 18, 10:25 2
- I'm buying corn with monies and taking to be cooked! not cooking it!! (I am also bringing salad.) -- nm - amanda jones state university Aug 18, 10:29 1
  - I have a great idea for a reality show. Throw you in a stark empty shipping container save for the fully stocked... - Mel Profit Aug 18, 10:38
"...and a teenage boy." All of them. All the corns. - Reagen Aug 18, 10:23
a dozen. -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 10:22 1
- worst case 9-10 get eaten and you have leftovers tomorrow -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 10:23
a dozen -- nm - Andie Aug 18, 10:22
