There is a certain logic to what he is saying. The 5th ear would go bad and have to be thrown away. Rather than throw away good food, they are letting the farmer make a little more of a profit, and the extra ear of corn will go to a deserving home. The Penneys are still dolts, but in this case it yields beneficial results.
I live alone and will buy all 5 for that dollar. I cook them all up and then wrap 4 of them in plastic wrap when cooled. Store in the refrigerator until needed. One each day, heated back up in the microwave for one minute (or less depending on the wattage).

Leave the fifth ear outside for some critters to eat.

Buy 10. That way you have two and half ears for each. No doubt that crowd can handle it.

I think I know what he can do with the fifth cob but I won’t say it!
