Cool Whip: It's a Floorwax and a Dessert Topping!
Over in the hip_domestics community, [info]petrel asks the age old question, "Cool Whip is the same as whipped cream, right?" followed closely by "How do you make whipped cream anyway?" This draws some slight mumbling from the crowd on the evils of Cool Whip, nothing spectacular, really.

Anyhoo, domestic snark picks it up and upsets a friend of the original poster, [info]coflower, who wouldn't have been upset if everyone knew what an IQ smart person [petrel] is.

Once again, short but sweet. (I should really stop looking at food comms when I'm hungry.)

Wow, loose their shit much? And by this I mean both coflower, and the posters who were so derisive of someone not knowing how to make real whipped cream. Why the hell would someone who doesn't cook know that? I cook, and I didn't know that! (Mostly because I've never bothered to look it up.)

But I know it! Therefore everyone should know it! And if you don't, then you're a dummy-face and I get to hate you, ok?

I always assumed whipped cream was both the name and the instructions. ._.

Well, so is "mashed potatoes," but I doubt anyone could correctly make those without knowing what they were doing.

I doubt I could successfully make either even if I did know what I was doing, to be honest.

I'd like to get ahold of the double cream (not the bottled stuff that's pretty much a lower level clotted cream) that's supposed to make a helluvagood whipped cream.

Except I have a feeling I can't in the good ol US o A.

Only if you know somebody with milk cows and an old-fashioned milk separator; my sister and I were waxing nostalgic at Thanksgiving, remembering the time that Dot set her separator wrong and the cream was pretty much solid...

You...whip cream to make whipped cream. Hence the name "whipped cream". Not that I bother to do so often. Overall, I prefer stuff from a can.

Well, I know that now. But I previously assumed that there were other ingredients to be added in order for it to become a stable fluffy substance. Who would expect cream to solidify on its own into anything but butter?

So I'm assuming that I've been doing it wrong and deviled eggs are actually born to evil chickens?

I knew how to make whipped cream before I figured out how to hard-boil an egg. I'm honestly surprised that you didn't know. Not that that makes you stupid, but... it's pretty common knowledge.

It is? I'm not sure I've even seen cream before, and I can cook just fine.

It is? I thought that it was a statement of fact?

I've always thought that mocking someone for not knowing how to do something more complex than tying their shoes (and that is not required for their lives/jobs) = instant fail.

I can understand poking fun a bit (because, seriously, those of us who are novice cooks ask some pretty silly questions), but the amount of vitriol is just like...dayum. :-O Time to put the beaters down and back away slowly, y'all.

Yeah. I mean, on the one hand, it seems really obvious, because hey... you whip cream, but on the other hand, you just know it can't be as simple as all that, there have to be other things to add.
