It's common in my area of the US, that corn is sold at a p/cob rate... not by weight.

Sometimes 5 for $1.00 or 10 for $2.00 etc...

Lots of people clean the cob, right there in the store, before purchasing it, so they can check them out, and they don't have to mess up their kitchens when they get home.

Maybe the people who husked the corn in the store were used to that type of thing, and were not from the UK. Who knows....
