Not a quality food, bulky for calorie count, limited storage life - no.

If you're worried about post=apocalyptic ass wiping get a sponge on a stick.

T.P and, if you have women, feminine hygiene products should be high on your list of preps.

Serious answer;

The corn you eat is sweetcorn.

The corncobs our forefathers used were from dried field corn. The corn is dry before it is shucked off of the dry cob, by hand in the old days. You end up with a relatively clean, dry, whole cob, complete with the chaff and nubbins that makes corn cobs such a luxury toilet item.

The "olden days" cob bears no resemblence to the cob you end up with when you eat corn on the cob. The corn on the cob cob will rot before you get around to using it.

That is where my question came from ,the wife and i were discussing what people used in the old days before TP, and corn cobs came up on google .

we have decided to buy a few cases of TP from COSTCO.

There is a reason why it's customary to only shake hands with your RIGHT hand in the middle east. They use their left hand for wiping their ass. In the middle east, they also only eat with their right hand.
