Keithlys tend to agree on most things: politics, religion, cars, careers, universities to attend, etc. One area in which there is no consensus however, and that has created an irreparable schism in clan solidarity, is the debate over corn.
Following are the observations of a non-biased third party:
Advocates of frozen corn, or “Frozenists” as scholars have dubbed them (they could also be accurately called “Fools”), falsely maintain that corn is better frozen than canned, because the corn is able to avoid the metallic flavor that it develops by being in the can. Frozenists also erroneously contend that frozen corn maintains its corn flavor.
Those who prefer canned corn, on the other hand, are known as “Canners” and know the truth about frozen corn: that it is disgusting. Canners contend, correctly, that no such metallic flavor exists in canned corn, and that freezing and thawing corn weakens its fibrous texture, making it less healthy and less appetizing. Some frozenists have claimed, wrongly, that corn is frozen very quickly and thus can avoid the formation of ice crystals that would damage the fibers. There is to date not one shred of scientific evidence to support this ridiculous claim.
The clan still has yet to settle this decades-old feud, and the contention always overshadows what would otherwise be enjoyable Thanksgivings. The fight for converts on both sides is brutal. For example, in one recorded case a young man came to the Keithly house with the intention of marrying a Keithly and some Frozenists asked him which kind of corn he preferred while implying that a wrong answer would cost him their approval of him as a potential mate for their sibling, since it would alter the delicate balance of power that now exists between the two sides. This kind of unfair behavior has become typical of Frozenists, while Canners tend to be more open-minded.

even though i hate corn .... i dont think freezing is a bad thing, they do use a crazy speed freezing process that is intense which uses like liquid nitrogen or some shit.... and can corn sits in this weird perservative for months on end and soaks up that flavor...soo if it was up to me i would go frozen all the way....
