Cool Whip: It's a Floorwax and a Dessert Topping!
Over in the hip_domestics community, 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, 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.)

The big bar to getting really heavy cream is the current fad for deluxe ice creams, which have twice the butterfat of the stuff from my childhood, and the long trend to make Holstein-Freisians the predominant breed in the dairy herd. This results in not enough cream to go around and also results in a boomlet in Jersey and Guernsey (Alderney, for our European friends) cows in some commercial herds.

Sorry. Cows. What can I say, I actually live with a bunch of them. They assume I am here to feed them and remind people that cows are not machines.

	Well, I can't object to deluxe ice creams, but it'd be sort of nice if some little specialty place offered the stuff for sale to the general public. I admit not to envying you the job of cow handling. I very much appreciate the work of those who do, being a milk junkie from way back. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	happy sigh The things you learn on JournalFen. All in all, it's probably a good thing they don't offer it much in the 'States, or I would probably already be dead from its consumption. (Cardiac health, you know. Saturated fat and all.) (Reply to this)(Parent)
