The only good corn holders are the ones shaped like corn

I will die on this hill.

As we know, the best part of summer is eating corn on the cob from these little corn-shaped skewers.

Corn holders are wonderful for two reasons: 1) They let you grasp hot corn with ease (the dream!) and 2) Because they are shaped like tiny corn. We need not look further than tiny cooking videos to realize that tiny versions of food are, well, good.

And that's why I was so disturbed when I discovered that some corn holders are not shaped like corn.

For example, what are these? Like hell I want to pierce half a shark into my delicious corn. Please spare me!!

Dachshunds are cute, but this is weird, right?

Even these "touch of husk" corn holders are toeing the line for me. Just make them look like the corn to which they are attached!!!!!!

Anyway, please enjoy your weekend. I will be here, eating pounds upon pounds of corn and dying on this hill.
