One Word Review: John Cope’s Sweet’N Creamy White Corn
Posted by: Gregory Ng: The Frozen Food Master
Sometimes I just can’t help myself. My stomach tells me to try out something tried and true but my head is telling me to crouch way down and look for something at the bottom of the barrel. And so it goes where I allow myself to try something that probably would be better off left alone for the 1% of people that are aware of its existence and happen to like it.
Me? I think my one word review is explicit enough for you. Let’s just say this John Cope’s Sweet’N Creamy White Corn tasted like I had tasted it before. Actually let me go a little further. It tasted like I tasted it, it journeyed down to my stomach and then like a one day business trip, it turned right back around and I tasted it again.

Greg,
Didn’t know where to post suggestions but I would love for you to review a local favorite (San Francisco), the Its’It. It’s actually incredible:

Not sure if you can get them in your neck of the woods but I know they ship nationally now. You’ve seriously got to give them a shot. Maybe an ice cream cookie/sandwich/novelty Frodown. Another of my favorites is the Nestle Tollhouse Ice Cream sandwich:

And this just looks amazing:

Lol, nah, your phrase was way better…I was just yanking your chain, lol.
But yeah…eww, that looks gross, and I’m shocked it even got 2.5 stars…

Jonathan, thanks for pointing that out. It actually got 1/2 star but for some reason my rating plugin is acting up. it is fixed.

Thanks for the suggestion Bear. I will see what I can do. My parents live in the Bay Area so maybe next time I visit I’ll shoot a review from there. In the future you can post suggestions in the Fans of Freezerburns Facebook Group.

Greg,
That’s great that your parents live here. I’m have a pizza place in Santa Clara (http://www.pizzapartyonline.com) and would love to give you some free pizza, it’s the best around. I sell the It’s-It in my shop, what would you say about stopping in and doing a Freezer Burns Ice Cream Sandwich Frodown on the road? I think it would be great!

It’s hard to mess up frozen corn, this must have tasted bad. Judging by the chewing, it seemed that the corn was probably dry. Is this true?

Its not that it was dry it was milky. Had the consistency of phlegm.

John Cope’s dried sweet corn makes an incredible corn pudding – it is one of my staples for both Thanksgiving and when I need to make something for a covered dish supper – I’m surprised the frozen corn was so bad.

Hi Katherine, Thanks for your comment. I’m sure the quality is there for the dried sweet corn. For this frozen soupy mess it was not.

I could not disagree more.. this is the one corn we can find in the south that tastes just like grandmother’s creamed corn. Perhaps you aren’t familiar with southen cooking or even creamed corn in general but this stuff is the bomb.. The local 8′oclock grocery store carried the big frozen size before they went out of business.. seriously this stuff is great.. its supposed to be a milky cream based hence the creamed corn in the title. I have eaten numerous portions of this brand so have my family and it’s good stuff.

Hi Jennifer. Thanks for your comment. And I’m glad you feel so strongly about it! I have said time and time again that I am just one opinion. Sometimes people will disagree with me, sometimes they won’t. Thanks for watching!
