TikTok users were stunned after a woman buttered corn on the cob with her hands in a very suggestive way.
Ricki Sanchez posted a video on the social media platform this morning of her friend covering a corn on the cob with butter she scooped up with her hand.
‘We were all shocked by the way my friend butters corn. We’re all still confused,’ Sanchez wrote in the video description.
Others in the kitchen of the Nashville residence were shocked by the woman’s actions, and someone in the room could be heard yelling ‘no’ at the top of their lungs.
‘If you’re going to tell me this is not the best corn you’ve ever had, I’m going to tell you you’re a liar,’ said the controversial corn butter-er.

Right before her friend stuck her full hand into the tub of butter butter, Sanchez asked if the corn was warm enough, to which she said yes.
Once her friend rubbed the butter between her hands, Sanchez laughed in shock.
An unidentified man in the video held the tub of butter, and he showed viewers where she placed her hand.
‘What are you going to do with this afterward,’ the man asked.
‘When someone comes over and says, “Hey, can I have some butter – yeah, your fingerprint is in the butter.”‘
The rogue butter-er insisted that it was her ‘butter right’ when she finished washing her hands.
Despite the ‘diabolical’ move, Sanchez admitted that her friend’s buttering method ‘worked well,’ and everyone ate the corn on the cob and thought it was good.
Since the post, social media is now debating the merits of the corn on the cob-buttering method.

‘The way she butter the corn – we are not eating corn after that,’ wrote a TikTok user.
More than one person admitted that her buttering method is the reason why they don’t go to potlucks, and at least three commenters compared her actions to sexual acts.
Several commenters also supported the corn buttering method, and one person even defended her.
‘It’s her butter, and her hands are clean. Chefs at restaurants you pay to eat at do far worse than touch the butter with their hands,’ the commenter wrote.
One TikToker who claimed to be from Alabama wrote: ‘This is just normal to me. This is how everyone I’ve ever known does it. It’s fast and easy.’
The commenter from the South added that country cooking is all about ‘using your hands.’
Various social media users either dissed Sanchez’s friend or defended her corn-buttering actions. Reddit users suggested other methods like using tin foil or trays
Reddit users debated several corn-buttering techniques in a post created by someone four years ago asking what method they use to butter corn on the cob.
More than one user revealed they use both of their hands, and how they manually apply the butter.
‘I take a handful of butter out of a tub, lather it between my hands, then slowly and methodically use both hands to massage it from tip to base while slowly rotating,’ a Reddit user wrote.
Several Redditors who disagreed with this method left harsh comments, with one writing, ‘You smear it on with a knife. How else do you put butter on things?’
Another person wrote that they use a knife to butter corn on the cob ‘like a civilized person.’
Other methods Reddit users claimed they use to butter their corn on the cobs include rolling it around in tin foil, using a corn tray or dipping it in melted butter instead.
