The last can I got was the Chief's Choice brand. It's labeled "Product
of Thailand." According to my calculations at the store, the product had
a caloric count of 842 calories per can. This was significantly larger
than the other products. I was a little surprised at how much the brands
differed. The lowest was something like 500 calories per can. Obviously
they cut the product with water. It's kinda silly to stand there with a
calculator but there is a difference in products.
