Based on my experiences, Del Monte kicks the ass of Green Giant and the generic winn dixie brand corn. Del Monte kernels are thicker than the kernels in generic corn, for one, and simply has a more "buttery" taste than green Giant corn.
What is your vote?
I buy the store brand regardless of which store I go to. I find that the taste depends more on the particular crop harvested at that time than on any particular brand. Sometimes it seems milkier (blech) and sometimes it seems clear and better tasting. I buy the no salt added ones.
Buy frozen not canned.
Canned is gross and with frozen you just use as much of the bag as you want and put the rest back in the freezer.
OP, I agree with you. Del Monte corn is my favorite.

i think storebrand, at least from winn dixie, is about half the size of del monte kernels on average...and it sucks when corn gets stuck in your teeth all the time because of how small the kernels are...
i wonder if del monte adds stuff to enhance the flavor. thats how good their corn is.

Canned vegetables are great for pioneers crossing the prairie in their covered wagons because they don't take any electricity to keep from rotting and stay good for the year or two that it takes to make it to Oregon. All you need is a can opener. If you carry enough it'll keep you from resorting to cannibalism if you get stuck in a blizzard. Also good for trading with Indians who mostly eat dried bison or bark so anything seems like an improvement. People without such stringent requirements are better off with fresh or frozen vegetables because unlike canned they have flavor, texture, and nutrients.

Man if you are some guy getting payed by the canned corn industry that is real f*ed up.
Can you make cornmuffins using canned corn and pancake batter?
Do you use regular or creamed style for the muffins?
Fresh is best, followed by frozen veges with one exception...DelMonte "Gold & White Corn" in a can. It's the only canned veges I eat; great taste and easy 1.5 min prep in the microwave. It is more expensive than others but well worth it!

I got into an argument with my wife over this the other day. I said that corn is a grain, but she said that sweet corn is a vegetable. Which is it?

Unless you're in prison, I don't know why you're bothering with canned corn. Frozen or fresh when it's in season tastes much better.

i have to try fresh and frozen for perspective...ive pretty much grown up eating canned corn, as an addition to other dishes.
with the other ones, is the corn pretty tasteless without salt?
I like the little corns. They always come out whole.
