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?
1 imitation whipped cream tub with a side of pie, please.

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.

It’s cold, fluffy sugar.

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 :)

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

It’s basically fat sugar and stabilizers yumm

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.

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

Cool whips definitely not whipped cream. More like frosting.

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

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.

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.

“Why do people buy food you can easily make?”
That’s like most food products and restaurants.
rbos@lemmy.ca 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.
Smoogs@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
rbos@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I was counting that. 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.
