once youve strained it a whole can of creamed corn gives you barely a third of a cup why isnt anyone talking about this

i think it has to do with government corn subsidies

edit you people arent getting it so ive created a diagram

creamtcorn

look at all that blue thats wasted space between the creamed corns and it takes up over half the can

    Creamed cans are 100% wasted space because I’d rather a cow puke in my mouth and I eat that then eat creamed corn.

    I once took a can of boiled peanuts and shelled all the peanuts. I measured everything in the can out as I did this. I basically ended up with…

    • ⅓ peanut water juice
    • ⅓ peanut shells
    • ⅓ actual peanuts

    Though in all fairness, everyone knows the shells are basically their own automatic wasted space, so I dunno… 🤷

    The reason nobody complains about it is because nobody ever opens a can of creamed corn. It’s beyond disgusting.

    Besides, having less creamed corn is a benefit, not a problem. The best outcome would be to open the can and find it empty. You deserve to lose your money for buying something that was so disgusting.

    The grossest creamed corn story I ever heard: I worked with a woman whose husband had the exact same breakfast every morning - a bowl of corn flakes, with a cold can of creamed corn poured over it.
