Texas mom sneaks corn on the cob into movie theater, becomes instant viral hero

Only a fool would waste their time on movie theater popcorn. For one, it's expensive. For two, the butter will almost definitely kill you. Now, corn corn? That's another story. 

There's not much to say about this. A dude snapped a pic of his mother eating corn on the cob while catching a flick. She appears to have smuggled it into the theater in a GladWare container, and seems to have stuck a napkin under her collar to keep her shirt clean from that flying corn juice.  Her son lovingly caught her in action and posted on his Twitter Monday night.
