Jas, Is the beef by-product Kosher? I'm still laughing from reading your table of contents. Love the glistening agent touch.

Cool Whip is made of: Acetone, water, propylene carbonate, dimethyl glutarnate-adipate-succinate, and geletin all spun in a giant cotton candy type furnace. Oops, that's the receipe for nail polish remover, Cool Whip's close cousin. Sorry. "Cool Whip is made of water, corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated coconut and palm kernel oil (CPKO), sodium caseinate, vanilla extract, xanthan and guar gums, polysorbate 60 (glycosperse), and beta carotene.[1] In some markets, Cool Whip is available in an aerosol can using nitrous oxide as a propellant.(Canada)[2] According to a recent Wired Magazine article, consumers are paying 41 cents per ounce for mostly water and air; twice the cost of homemade whipped cream."

Cool Whip is 75% cool and 15% whip. The remaining 10% is beef by-product and a natural glistening agent.

You're not supposed to ASK what's in Cool Whip. You're just supposed to enjoy its cool, refreshing tastiness. Besides, you really don't want to know.

What I want to know is this: why wasn't Cool Whip used? Cool Whip is the superior whipped cream, even miles above homemade. Also, what the hell is in Cool-Whip?

@mariconsoy 1) redi-whip is edible and therefore extremely biodegradable. 2) the cream used in most of the pies was not Redi-Whip. your original point may well be correct but thanks for disregarding any kind of integrity when making your case.

This was not an eco-friendly event. The cream used on most of the pies was redi-whip, and "Twinkies cream". It will take hundres of years to bio-degrade. The stuff is probably well on its way, floating to that giant patch of plastic waste in the middle of the ocean.
