I feel so special b/c of this post: a) I did indeed say that, so thanks for the credit b) I've spoken to you on the phone while you sprayed Redi-Whip into your mouth. Anyhow, this sounds gross - I can just picture the filmy, waxy feeling that completely artificial products like this one (which Wired called "a delicious blend of sugar, wax, and condom lube") leave in your mouth. Blecch. Great review! Glad you try this stuff so I don't have to (literally)!

Or you could, you know, *make your own* whipped cream, which isn’t terribly challenging and isn’t nearly as disturbing. I have never understood the appeal of those canned whipped dairy confections. They taste like plastic to me.

Chocolate Reddi-Whip is the only fake whipped cream I will stand in front of the fridge and eat out of the can. It is so delicious.

I have never been able to bring myself to eat fake whipped cream, so I will not be trying Redi-whip in a can! I know there are people who swear by Cool-whip, but I’m just not one of them. I’m ready for a new discovery that I would like to buy and eat!

You know, I really did think this was a possibility. Cool Whip is known as being the, erm, best for these type of things. I was trying to keep it klassy, though.

Since you opened this Pandora’s box, though, I think following Toby’s suggestion, and using the original may be good for these purposes.

No no Lem, I’m quite sure you weren’t using it correctly. See, you’re supposed to eat it off the washboard abs of a hunky piece of man-meat. THEN, and only then, can you truly get the Cool Whip inacan experience.

(Seriously, I wonder if that’s actually why they made it… after all, spooning out Cool Whip onto someone’s naughty bits does NOT have the same effect. Maybe they’re trying to break into the sex market.)

While I may have my ditzy moments, I promise I was using the nozzle correctly.

Thanks!

Some thoughts…

I have purchased the “normal” Cool Whip-in-a-can – as opposed to the Extra Creamy version, which you purchased. I avoided the Extra Creamy version because it is “made with real cream” – which pretty much violates everything that Cool Whip stands for.

In any event, I actually REALLY liked it. I plan on buying it again.

And as for the nozzle… Are you sure you used it properly? You don’t actually bend it as you would a normal can of whipped cream. There is a little button that you press. I imagine that if you bent the nozzle, it might break…

Great review! Keep em coming.
