Genuinely curious: why are you straining creamed corn? If you want corn kernels, why not buy that instead?
post
Wait until you hear about atoms.
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.
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
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.
- the government is meddling
putting all that wasted space in between the corns because of corn subsidies
Because then it won't be creamed.
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.

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%).
They mean 100% nitrogen. If they just filled chip bags with regular air they would be more sensitive to pressure changes.
It’s got less oxygen and moisture in it so that bacteria doesn’t have the energy to breed and spoil the contents.
It’s creamed corn, not corned cream. Creamed is the first ingredient. One could argue that the corn is stealing space from the creamed.
I am desperately curious about the life that leads up to this question
here i actually wrote about it https://lemmy.world/post/24251140
Milk is the real scam. Once I strain it there is basically nothing left. Unless you let it mature like a fine wine.
Hey are you the real Chad McTruth or some half dicked imposter trying to ruin His great name?
i cant keep track anymore to be honest
Look in you pants is it a full dick or a half dick?
well the libs tried to steal it when i was just a child but they only got away with the tip
My sister and I used to play the just the tip game.
You think that's bad try some cream of mushroom. I swear some cans didnt even have anything in them after straining
And nobody talks about candy corn bags being 100% wasted space.
Once you discard all the inedible garbage you are left with nothing at all.
Chip bags have all that air in them, so the chips don't get crushed as easily.
if the chips has such a simple explanation then how come everyone talks about that and no one questions why cans of creamed corn have all that wasted space this is what im getting at i think its being surpressed
I have personally never opened a can of creamed corn, so this whole post is new information for me. The chips thing though...that was solved decades ago. Not sure why the confusion persists.
a can doesnt need cushion liquid because cans are hard but cans of creamed corn are mostly liquid and i think its a scam
Why are you straining it? It's like saying your bottle of fresh orange juice has hardly any pulp after you strain it.
what the fuck are you talking about
Maybe creamed corn is different where you are, but the creamed part is a sauce that goes with the corn. It's meant to be eaten with the corn and not supposed to be discarded, so I don't know why you're straining it.
Buying creamed corn and straining it to get corn is like buying salsa and straining it to get diced tomatoes
Um, dude thats just creamed corn, the cream is part of the product, it isn't supposed to be 100% corn Just buy canned corn:

It's the demo-rats fault. They are eating all the cream and just leaving corn in the can.
I have the same problem with orange juice, there's hardly any orange in it. It's like the pork in Pork N Beans.
