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
look at all that blue thats wasted space between the creamed corns and it takes up over half the can
I hate having to repeat this over & over, but chip bags are NOT 50% wasted space. They’re 50% larger than their contents, and then filled with 50% air for extra padding, so you don’t get a bag of crumbs.
You pay for the weight of the chips in the bag, not the amount of fullness.
They are not filled with air, they’re typically filled with nitrogen
I was going to say nitrogen but didn’t want to come off as too pedantic.
78% of the air is nitrogen. Stop being a dick.
It’s got less oxygen and moisture in it so that bacteria doesn’t have the energy to breed and spoil the contents.
Great, start a chip company and start filling your bags with air.
You’ll learn quickly that there’s another predominant element in air besides nitrogen (surely it won’t matter though, it’s only 20.8%).
even more so when you open the bag
They mean 100% nitrogen. If they just filled chip bags with regular air they would be more sensitive to pressure changes.
my point is that everyone talks about that but no one talks about the same thing happening with cans of creamed corn despite cans being sturdy enough to not need padding
Because then it won’t be creamed.
The cans are sold by weight of the content, not size of the can.
Other reasons they may be putting the small amount in a larger can (since padding isn’t an issue):
How so?
putting all that wasted space in between the corns because of corn subsidies
You know you’re supposed to eat the cream in creamed corn right?
uh source please
