slo’s TUESDAY 4/30 poll - Whipped Cream vs Cool Whip

[slo]

The great debate for many - Whipped Cream vs Cool Whip
Time for you tell us your thoughts….

Do you prefer Whipped Cream or Cool Whip?
(multiple choice)


For Me…..I love love love Cool Whip!
Yes, it’s not natural. Yes, the ingredients are questionable. But, I just don’t care, because I love it.
So to answer my own question - I prefer Cool Whip over Whipped Cream. I don’t dislike Whipped Cream, I like it some things like a hot fudge sundae, but never on pie or certain other desserts. My vote is Cool Whip 75% and Whipped Cream 25%

I had cancer when I was 29. My oncologist referred to it as the Kraft Mac and cheese cancer and said my age group was prone to it (I have 3 friends who all had the same cancer within a year or two of me being diagnosed) and they were tying it to being the first generation raised on processed food. I eat very little processed food these days. Cool whip is not on the list of things I buy/eat because of my medical history.

Whipped cream = easy to make yum

Cool Whip = easy to buy Frankenfood that may or may not taste yum since it hasn’t touched my lips in more than forty years.

For a topping I'll always choose whipped cream. Cool Whip has some uses in fruit dip and lemonade pie.

 

[mamamary]

I don’t eat either.

A long time ago, I went with Cool Whip.

Now I only use whipped cream.

 

[Kitty 34]

Only whipped cream.

I am sorry to hear this and I don’t blame you at all for staying away from processed foods - we should all follow your example. When you say you had cancer, I’m going to assume you’re better now and I hope & pray it stays that way for you

I use Cool Whip more often, but I don’t usually buy either except around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I can work with either of them!

 

[MamaMermaid]

I like both!

I voted Whipped Cream 75% and Cool Whip 25%. I generally don't buy Cool Whip, so I usually buy/make whipped cream. However, I *like* Cool Whip, so if someone else is serving it, I won't complain.

I think this poll might have been inspired by one of my answers to a previous poll. For anyone who missed it, I'll share the story again. it was about "the tastes of childhood." When I was growing up, we almost exclusively had Cool Whip. I think I thought Cool Whip and Whipped Cream were synonyms. However, as an adult, I pretty much never buy Cool Whip although I still like it. When my daughter, (who is turning 20 next week ) was in elementary school, we went out for a meal. She ordered pancakes which came with a dollop of "whipped cream" on the top. She'd ordered this meal before and enjoyed it but this time she said "EEEWWW! I think the whipped cream is spoiled." I tasted a bit of it and it wasn't spoiled... but it also wasn't whipped cream. It was Cool Whip. For months afterward, any time she got something with a whipped topping, she'd ask "Now is this whipped cream, or is this Cool Whip?"

Yep…..definitely got the idea from you and I thank you

I enjoy cool whip and as a kid never knew there was such a thing as whipped cream as we never ever had any !! So I’m use to cool whip - not opposed to whip cream or cool whip but as a general rule i usually don’t eat either one very often because if I’m going to take in extra calories I’d rather enjoy the item and not add more calories with whipped toppings - so I just don’t use it - ymmv

 

[Wood Nymph]

I was raised in a whipped cream family while my husband's family was Cool Whip only. We always have real whipped cream unless his family comes for dinner. Then we serve both.

 

[soccerdad72]

I like Cool Whip as well. Yeah, I know it’s all artificial, but it’s far from the only artificial thing I eat and enjoy. That said, I like whipped cream too.

 

[jo-jo]

I need a 99% whip cream /1 % cool whip level. We always have whip cream in the can. Never tried to make it. I buy maybe one tub a year of cool whip. When there is a pumpkin pie in the house, I like cool whip. Real whip cream melts too quickly. That's the only pie I would add a topping to.

 

[TCRAIG]

I prefer whipped cream as a ‘topping’ but if I’m making some sort of cream pie that’s made from combining (for example) pudding with either, I’ll use Cool Whip…probably because the recipe came with the Cool Whip.

 

[Meriweather]

About half and half.....I prefer real cream, but don't always get it.

 

[Disneylover99]

Growing up, alot of desserts were made with CoolWhip.
I was never a fan.

I prefer a can of whipped cream over homemade.
