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… 🤷

Chip bags are full of air to protect the chips from being crushed in transit. Your corn is full of… uh, whatever it is that’s in there with creamed corn in order to protect your corn. Obviously.

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

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.
