I was standing in line at the Dollar Tree on Ridge Road in Gary last month and the woman behind me had 14 cans of corn in her cart. I asked what the occasion was and she said "drain it, hit it with a spoon of butter and a shake of chili powder, and nobody at my table knows it came from a can." I tried it on a Tuesday and my kid ate two bowls. What else are you all doing to canned corn besides dumping it in a bowl?
