That's hweird

Everyone knows you can't have pie without cool hwhip

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I've never been overseas myself, but this post sent me down a weird rabbit hole. Do I really understand correctly, that pre-made whipped cream is a thing over there? How does it even keep?

[–] dojan 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I visited a friend in Massachusetts a few years ago, and we made pumkin pie. Just because I was curious, I bought cool whip.

It's not whipped cream, nor is it really similar to it. It's essentially made similar to how you'd make mayonnaise, but instead of being savoury/sour it's sweet. It's also aerated so it's not as dense. But yeah, it's basically aerated dessert mayonnaise.

Freeze it, thaw it, slap it on pie. When you have enough, freeze it for the next time.

Cool Whip Original is made of water, hydrogenated vegetable oil (including coconut and palm kernel oils), high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, skimmed milk, light cream (less than 2%), sodium caseinate, natural and artificial flavor, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, sodium polyphosphate, and beta carotene (as a colouring).

Thanks, it's good with a reality check from time to time :)

I don't get it, how are Americans on TV so rail thin. Don't the fat majority get upset by that?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Not all of us are obese, and the obesity epidemic has more to do with daily overconsumption of calories from things like soda and other sugared beverages than it does with eating cool whip on your pumpkin pie once a year

[–] surewhynotlem 3 points 1 year ago

No, they worship it. It's American Idol, not American Kinda Like.

[–] misophist 2 points 1 year ago

I love cool whip. It's magical! But I typically only have it two or three times a year in desserts when we have large family gatherings (every Thanksgiving and occasionally Christmas or Easter).

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 1 year ago

It's pretty good frozen too. Sort of like ice cream.

[–] banneryear1868 2 points 1 year ago

It's basically fat sugar and stabilizers yumm

[–] asterfield 14 points 1 year ago

It doesn’t rot because it’s not real food

[–] MotoAsh 7 points 1 year ago

You're not missing much. Even spray can whipped cream tastes like whipped cream, and as everyone says, coolwhip doesn't.

It's like shitty can frosting vs good fondant. You can just look and see you're not getting the good stuff let alone with a tasting.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Cool whip is the margarine of the whipped cream world.

[–] BleatingZombie 4 points 1 year ago

It's similar, but not exactly comparable with whipped cream. It's not abnormal to hear people offer pumpkin pie with whipped cream, cool whip, or ice cream

everybody knows pie tastes better with cool hwip

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool whips definitely not whipped cream. More like frosting.

[–] Mr_Blott 4 points 1 year ago

The vast majority of people don't even know what it is, just that Stewey Griffin pronounced it funny

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's a funny looking trash can.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Two servings please! 😋

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I never understood premade whipped cream. It takes two minutes to make. Cream, bowl, a little liqueur, tiny bit of salt, then go to town. Use a mixer if you need one, a hand beater isn't expensive.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Some people don't want to spend two minutes making whipped cream and then cleaning everything they got out to make it, or they just don't have time.

It's not hard to understand in the slightest.

[–] banneryear1868 7 points 1 year ago

"Why do people buy food you can easily make?"

That's like most food products and restaurants.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sure, but it's only a bowl and a whisk. I just rinse them, too.

I guess everyone has things they find super easy and this is one of mine.

[–] Smoogs 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Many things can take 10 minutes or less to process.

However when you add in the time to gather, prep and buy ingredients and cleanup, it adds up exponentially.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I was counting that. Whiping cream is super fast once you know how, cleanup is easy. And buying heavy cream is something I would usually do anyway. Buying the prewhipped stuff takes no less effort than buying a carton.

It would definitely depend on your comfort level.

[–] Smoogs 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And if you’re already cooking a million other things. Not everything spawns from laziness.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Of course not, I'm not saying anyone's lazy. I would encourage people to learn how to do it, though! It's one of those things that is surprisingly easy and can save you some cash and fridge space.

You're not always going to be cooking a million other things. Sometimes you're just pulling cheesecake out of the freezer, and at that point a quick whipped cream batch is nbd.
