everyone talks about chip bags being 50% wasted space but no one talks about creamed corn cans being 50% wasted space - Divisions by zero

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

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.

They are not filled with air, they’re typically filled with nitrogen
78% of the air is nitrogen. Stop being a dick.
even more so when you open the bag
