Vent: dropped $70 on a bear canister for the High Sierra loop and it barely fit 3 days of food

I bought the big name canister everyone on forums swears by for my 5 day trip out of Onion Valley. Turns out it takes up half my pack and I could only cram in 3 days of food, so I had to hang the rest anyway. Anyone got a canister that actually holds 5 days for one person, or should I just hang everything and eat the $70 loss?
