Corn on the Cob – “Packed Fresh”

I was in a dollar-type store yesterday looking for playing cards when I stumbled across corn on the cob. Corn on the cob – vacuum packed.

Corn on the Cob

Ready to eat, corn on the cob. Corn on the cob vacuum packed. Corn on the cob in a plastic wrapper, sitting out on a shelf in a dollar store. Not refrigerated.

Seriously? I understand we have the technology to actually do this, but should we do this?

Would you buy a vacuum pack of fresh corn on the cob? Even more importantly, would you eat it?
