This contradiction, you must see, please take a guess, what must I be?
To toss the outside, and keep the rest... but keep the outside and toss the mess!
No strings attached, they are in your teeth, What edible object must I be?

You are
corn
because
you take off the husk of corn, eat the kernels, then throw away the cob.

I can think of a few possibilities but... are you perhaps a
Popsicle?
I remove the wrap, eat all the icy goodness then trash the messy sticky stick.

I understand an answer has already been marked as correct, but wouldn't the following make sense too, following the same reasoning as the marked answer?
Avocado

1$\begingroup$ Yes, that technically would fit the toss the outside, keep the inside, use the outside, toss the inside... but the rhyme indicates a mess being thrown away which a corn cob is more of one than an avocado. $\endgroup$ May 12, 2017 at 17:00

$\begingroup$ Basically any food would work that has an outside (inedible) peel, flesh to be eaten and then a useless inner core or pit. Avocado came to my mind rather immediately, too. There are a few others. $\endgroup$– OctopusMay 12, 2017 at 21:37

it can be
a bottle of coke
explanation:
open the cap and throw it away, and keep the full bottle, drink the coke and then trash the bottle.

1$\begingroup$ Technically the inside would not be a mess (as per the rhyme) and you are not throwing out the outside in whole (I guess I did not technically specify the complete outside.) $\endgroup$ May 12, 2017 at 17:02
