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@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months 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?

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 7 points 11 months 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@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] asterfield@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

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

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months 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.

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months 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

[–] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Cool whip is the margarine of the whipped cream world.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cool whips definitely not whipped cream. More like frosting.

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Slow@lemmy.today 2 points 11 months ago

Two servings please! 😋

[–] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago

That's a funny looking trash can.

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.

[–] kattenluik@feddit.nl 8 points 11 months ago (1 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.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca -1 points 11 months 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.
