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?
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).
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
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

Thanks, it’s good with a reality check from time to time :)
It’s pretty good frozen too. Sort of like ice cream.
I don’t get it, how are Americans on TV so rail thin. Don’t the fat majority get upset by that?

No, they worship it. It’s American Idol, not American Kinda Like.
It doesn’t rot because it’s not real food
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.

Cool whip is the margarine of the whipped cream world.
