Interesting! Would be interested to hear the answer to that myself!

Oh, and BTW, the local folks around here have a somewhat different finish for corn on the cob. Instead of butter, they put MAYONAISE on it, and then sprinkle with parmesan and sometimes, Old Bay. It sounded really GROSS to me, and it took me a while to get up the nerve to try it, but it was very different and good... Can't say I'd eat it that way all the time, but it is an interesting change!
