A little corn can be a big problem. I found relief from Dr. Scholl’s and had to tell them about it…

Dear Corn Care Cobblers:

I purchased some Dr. Scholl’s Corn Cushions and they worked like magic! The adhesive side totally keeps them securely attached to the cob. And the other side has just the right amount of cushion to keep the skewers firmly in place.

Your Corn Cushions ended up solving multiple problems. Continuously inserting the holders back into the cob when the grip didn’t hold was a nuisance. They’d always slip in and out and then the cob falls on your lap or the floor. Sometimes you create so many holes, it destroys the cob’s core and there’s no place to put the skewers anymore. Thanks for helping me find a cure!

Can you please tell me how Dr. Scholl got his foot in this business? He truly is more than one step ahead of everyone else.

There’s nothing corny about your products!

A Consumer Relations Manager from Schering-Plough, makers of Dr. Scholl’s, responded with:

Thank you for your letter regarding your experience with a Dr. Scholl’s Corn Cushion.

From your description, we could not determine specifically which one of our products you were using. We are not familiar with any product of ours that has a cob core or skewers.

You should be able to either check at the library or go online if you have a computer and read some history statistics on the Dr. Scholl business. It is an interesting story.

Again, thanks for taking the time to write.
