In our house the 'stickers' are called 'corn thingies'. ;o)

I prefer the screw on ones but I've seen different models: 2 pronged, 1
barbed plastic prong (those are Tupperware and I really don't like them) &
screw-on. They're usually available at the dollar stores and the grocery
stores.
Now the ear-of-corn-shaped plates/containers I haven't seen in a while.
