  • Patent number: 6270132
    Abstract: A pair of handle grip-like holders are intended to be used in tandem in opposing ends of a cob of corn. The holders have removable skewer members, each of which is insertable into the ends of a corn cob. A first holder member is insertable within a first end of the cob of corn. This first holder member is adapted to allow rotation of the cob about the holder. The second holder member includes a torsion member having a pair of spikes which are insertable within the other end of the corn cob and about which the corn cob can rotate when the handle member is actuated by means of an actuating button. The corn cob holder member which is rotatable can be controllable both as to speed and amount of rotation. The handle end about which the corn cob rotates includes an electrically actuable sound generating device which, in the preferred embodiment, simulates the noise of a motorcycle engine.
