There can be only one.
And yes I am sure half of you will want to tell us how you make your own and it is the literal Ambrosia of the Gods. I have no doubt, but THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
Confession: I like to eat Cool Whip straight from the tub like ice cream. In fact, I like it better than ice cream.
I picked Reddi but I usually buy the no sugar Cool because I have to.
Reddi-whip tastes better straight from the can on top of a slice of pie, but cool whip is superior for mixing in to things like jello salad.
Reddi-Whip, because it’s actually whipped cream.
We’ve been married 22 years now, and have never once purchased the abomination known as Cool Whip.
If I want whipped cream then I’d go with the Reddi but Cool Whip is fine for plenty of purposes.
One of the biggest truisms of my life is that real food tastes better. And Redi Whip is real.
Well, even if you don’t completely buy into the health food alarmists warnings about hydrogenated vegetables oils and high fructose corn syrup, it’s hard to find anything in the Cool Whip contents to be really happy about putting in your body on a regular basis.
From Wikipedia: “Cool Whip Original is made of water, hydrogenated vegetable oil (including coconut and palm oils), high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, skimmed milk, light cream, and less than 2% sodium caseinate (a milk derivative), natural and artificial flavor, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60, sorbitan monostearate, and beta carotene (as a coloring)”.
Redi-whip’s contents starts with cream and sugar before you start encountering the corn syrup, thickeners and artificial flavors. So given the two, I’ll take the Redi-whip.
At the supermarket, though, I buy the expensive whipped cream that omits the corn syrup and artificial flavors (although I’m still not under the least impression that it’s actually good for me).
Actually, it’s not; read the label – it’s got milk and milk solids in it. Still, it’s close.
The Green Market sells cans of real whipped cream. You can tell the difference.
Still, Reddi-Whip is pretty good overall.
Reddi-Whip, because Cool Whip doesn’t have any propellant to get you high.
Reddi-Whip, because it’s the closest to being real food. But when I want whipped cream, I just buy heavy cream and, you know, whip it. With a sprinkle of sugar, it tastes exponentially better than either one.
Yes, I know I’m annoying. Please don’t throw anything at m - OW!
If you want to have a whip cream fight or kinky sex, Reddi-Whip, otherwise Cool Whip.
I’d have Reddi-Whip all the time if it weren’t so expensive. I like Cool Whip straight out of the tub when it about halfway thawed. And, actually, I prefer the Safeway version of Cool Whip. Has a slightly better taste and mouth feel, in my opinion.
I voted Cool Whip, because if I want whipped cream, I’ll just whip some cream, but if I want Cool Whip, nothing else will do.
Yeah, that’s what I came in here to add. Reddi-Wip has NITROUS OXIDE in it, for chrissake! What dopamine-releasing compounds does Cool Whip contain? None. Case closed.
I have never craved Cool Whip. Just saying.
When I used to try out different diets, I too have been known to eat entire containers of Cool Whip straight out of the freezer like ice cream. There’s really no substitute for ice cream, but ice cream is one of those things I HAVE TO HAVE. I really don’t want to live in a world without ice cream, I tried the Cool Whip substitute for it. …Anyway: Reddi-Whip is the next best thing (except for real whipped cream made at home). it’s not substantial, but it certainly makes a sad piece of cake, pudding, or pie look 100% better, doesn’t it?
Reddi-Whip, since it’s easier to spray directly into one’s gaping maw.
Reddi-Wip, because Cool Whip is disgusting.
While I would love it if Cool Whip came out of a spray can, taste-wise, it wins, hands down.
Unfortunately, I can no longer eat either one. Cool Whip may say it’s non-dairy, but it contains my body’s sworn enemy, sodium caesinate.
