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.)

True story time:

When I was in Junior High, we had a girl in our circle who was rather dim. A couple of us were at her house once, and she said she was going to make tomato soup for us; she disappeared into the kitchen. About fifteen minutes later, she called into the living room: "guys? Could someone come in here a second?" We went in, to find her staring befuddled at a saucepan on the stove, with the congealed lump of canned tomato soup still quivering in the pan, the bottom sizzling a little ominously. She pointed at it and asked us, "how long before it starts to melt?"

We actually had to point to the instructions written on the label before she believed us when we said she had to actually add something to the soup.

Punch line: She was the salutarian of my graduating high school class. I still don't know how.

	My little sister: She can design custom clothing without a pattern based on a picture you show her or a fabric swatch you bring to her. She also once burned a pot of water. Water. Nothing else. Did I mention she was in her 20s at the time? She's clever, but far too easily distracted to be allowed to use the stove on her own. (Reply to this)(Parent)
