Comment on everyone talks about chip bags being 50% wasted space but no one talks about creamed corn cans being 50% wasted space

  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.
