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

    Genuinely curious: why are you straining creamed corn? If you want corn kernels, why not buy that instead?

      That’s what I’m thinking. That’s like buying buttermilk and complaining that there’s only half a stick of butter in it after you strain it!

        You can buy cans of just corn in water. Those are mostly full of corn, with water filling the space between. Creamed corn is a whole other thing, and while it has some corn kernels in it, it’s mostly meant to be eaten as-is or used as-is in a recipe. The liquid in creamed corn is not meant to be discarded.
