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

creamtcorn

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

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):

  • that’s the size of cans they have on hand from the factory.
  • packing/shipping & stacking/displaying that standard can size might be more cost effective.
  • They want dupe customers into thinking they’re getting more for their money.
