[pct-l] Super Secrets - Food Alert - Corn

[Tortoise73 at charter.net (Tortoise)]

Switchback,  calm down.

Haven't seen the stuff in my loco mal-wart; it doesn't carry much food 
items.
But two questions --
how durable are the plastic cups; how long would they survive in a backpack?
how much corn do you really get?? open one, drain out all the water, 
then weigh how much corn you really get.

in canned vegetables, ISTM that gradually the vegetable is being 
replaced with water and at ever increasing price.
