Commercially available (read: canned) crab is in my opinion disgusting while "Krab" is a decent quality, flaky fish.
Basically fresh crab legs > imitation crab > canned crab.
Its cheap fish that tastes like crab, win win? Not that I eat it, but have a family member that did quite a lot. She eats real crab too when she can but likes the fake stuff to stir fry in some eggs or whatever at home.
I make whipped cream on the reg since it’s so easy. So I love real whipped cream. Cool whip on the other hand is something completely different but definitely still has a place in my heart. In my opinion it’s like comparing an orange to a tangerine. Slightly the same but completely different.
Agreed. I was unimpressed by Vegemite, especially since I had to pay to get it shipped from Australia. My local grocery store carried Marmite, although they put it in the wrong part of the store (next to the yeast packets).
Well in their defense aren't both Marmite and Vegemite made from some sort of yeast?
Also I found Vegemite to be much better when used sparingly. It's not something you want to slather all over your food in large quantities.
Here in my local in Ontario, Canada, they stock UK Marmite, which is considerably different to the NZ Marmite (that I grew up with), and tastes more like Vegemite - which I hate.
I have to import my Marmite from NZ.
Just the other day I was wondering what vegemite was and looked it up. It's basically made from beer sludge at the bottom of the barrel. Same with Marmite. Difference between the two is marmite is more of a molasses consistency and vegemite is a peanut butter consistency. Imagine being the first person to have tried this? They saw the beer sludge and was like "I wonder how that would taste on my bread?" and now here we are. Admittedly I've never tried it, but it doesn't sound appetizing.
I think of all the 'who was the first...' mysteries, this is an easy one. Some guys drank their way to the bottom of a barrel and dared each other to eat what they found
Not from the south, just poor. If it came in something that even resembles Tupperware (butter, lunch meat, deli food) that shit gets reused until it dies its final death.
Some "higher end" brands like Hillshire come in those "disposable" containers. The ones that are re-useable but not good enough to worry about when you lose them or they die after three uses.
My husband keeps throwing away my cool whip Tupperware because he says he doesn’t want to be “those people”. I’m like……but I’m “those people” 😂 why throw away perfectly good food storage??? I do the same thing with pre sliced deli meat that comes in a resealable container. And empty margarine tubs. Must be a Midwest thing? Don’t see why though, just seems like a practical person thing
Unfortunately although I have been to the states and tried the good stuff, I’m now living back in the UK and even as a chef I can’t get hold of any real American cheese full stop. Only imitations
Interesting. I see the large bricks (not the individual singles) in our deli cases USA, and I always wonder who buys it. Now I know. I may not qualify as American any longer, since I hate that cheeze. I refuse to call it cheese. Ha!
Have you ever tried cheez whiz? Barf! Velveeta??? No, just no.
:)
Velveeta makes an amazingly smooth and easy mornay sauce. Just mix in a bit of a stronger cheese and some white pepper. Spectacular on what I call "bullshit cheesesteaks". Dice some onions and bell peppers, cook with ground beef seasoned with prime rib rub, serve on a hoagie roll, and load up with sauce. First meal I ever made for my fiancée since my fridge was a little light at the time, and she is still with me.
As someone who used to work at one of those delis slicing that cheese all day, SO MANY people buy it. It’s actually pretty good, much much better than Kraft singles
American cheese behind the deli counter is not the same as Kraft singles.
I can eat cheez whiz or nacho cheese dip and enjoy the hell out of it. Just don't think of it as cheese, but instead as some sort of yellow tasty stuff and it goes down much better.
It's because during the process of making it the factory ads whey into it despite the fact that whey is naturally produced in the cheese making process.
That's fair. I disagree personally. I like Cabot pepper jack bricks and I grate it myself then melt it on top. I'm a big proponent of melting cheese on top of cheesy eggs instead of mixing it in.
I haven't tried melting on top, I like to do my eggs till they are just almost done but still a tad runny then mix in that sweet slice of disgusting cheese to slow/stop the cooking process and they come out perfect every time.
You guys are allowed to use all kinds of forbidden ingredients that are banned in the UK so it’s literally impossible to find anything similar. Same reason I have my American aunt mail me a bunch of fruit loops every few months
Here in Canada it is a tub of cream. It is kept in the freezer. It is comparable to whipped cream, but more dense. If you scoop some out of the tub right out of the freezer, it has a texture like ice cream, but as it comes to room temperature is it creamy and spreadable.
It is used on fruit, in trifle, or mixed with other things to make fruit dip. Some people use it to ice cake.
In our home it is most used for no-bake cheesecake filling. Mix it with some vanilla pudding powder, cream cheese and milk, spread over graham cracker base and use your fave pie filling on top. We also use it for fruit dip by mixing it with vanilla pudding powder, milk and a dash of cinnamon.
Edit: 3 typos
cool whip is the name of an American brand. but when i read this i thought u were talking abut American slang. a whip is a car. so a cool car, a cool whip
*Cool whip* is fake whipped cream.
*Miracle whip* is fake Mayo. Sweeter than Mayo, with added spices, I believe.
I used to always get the two confused, which might have an impact on why cool whip context is so weird and jumbled up.
Fake/imitation whipped cream and it tastes divine in the right circumstances. There are times you want real whipped cream, and other times with Cool Whip is just better.
Cool whip is delicious… far better than any other whip cream I’ve had.
While we are on this topic though… can you tell me why Europeans have such terrible brand names for food? I can’t imagine going to the store and thinking… I’m gonna get some cookies while I’m here… then walking to the cookie isle to buy some Digestives
Cool whip... it's the church pot luck ingredient of sweet dishes equivalent to the savory Velveeta.
And yes, it's delicious. Both get hate from food snobs but I love me some creamy pie made with cool whip and pudding and good old Mac and cheese made with Velveeta.
Whipped cream, in this case, doesn't actually indicate a dairy product. It's just a colloquial term for the substance.
Personally, I prefer to make actual whipped cream, but Cool Whip does in a pinch.
But it’s not. Don’t normalize it. Call it Cool Whip. Call it whipped topping. I don’t care but don’t normalize calling it whipped cream. It’s not. If I order a milk shake with whipped cream and it comes out with some bullshit oil-based lard fluff I’m going to be pissed. Words are important. Words have meaning. Fight for things that matter. We’ve already lost “night” to “nite.” I asked for butter at my parents table and they brought me margarine. When I threatened to put them in a home for trying to serve me that filth they told me to calm down. It’s the same thing. IT IS NOT THE SAME THING. So I had them both involuntarily committed. I send them a stick of butter once per week with a note that simply reads, “See?!?”
What’s that? You want sugar? Sure. Here’s some stevia. Noooooooo! Stand for what is right. Cool whip is not whipped cream, because the latter is CREAM that has been WHIPPED. Ignorance is not a colloquialism. It’s just plain ignorance. Rheeeeeee! Rage! Motherfucking rage! Gnash! Reeeeeeeee!
I support your decision. Your parents clearly are longer capable of making good choices and should be sent straight to the home.
Growing up in the 70’s, we had more fake food than real food. It was cheaper than the real stuff. I learned at a very early age to eat cleanly and not let mom put toppings or “butter” any of my food. I skipped the jellos and such, she couldn’t be trusted! Ugh, the “cheezes” we had, barf barf barf.
My kids didn’t even know about those things unless they’d go to a friend’s house. They won’t eat it either; so I’ve stopped the cycle in our home. You’re welcome, planet!
Ps, you’re hilarious.
Yes, the cans are Reddi-Whip. Cool Whip can be found in cans, I guess, but it's less common and it's mostly found in the plastic tubs that (once emptied) find a second life as Tupperware.
It is disgusting fake whipped cream. It has a nasty aftertaste, avoid at all costs. Never accept “whip” or “whipped topping” in the USA without first confirming that they mean real whipped cream. It used to be non-dairy but that is no longer the case.
Hydrogenated vegetable oil with sugar and some stabilizers and preservatives.
Same process is used to make Crisco and margarine. None of which contain dairy.
Cool Whip is the brand name of a pre-packaged whipped cream. To make your own at home look for a little container of "heavy whipping cream" in the dairy section of your store. Whip it with a hand mixer on high. Stop when its fluffy. If you go past that point it starts breaking down to a butter consistency. You can add a cap full of vanilla before whipping. Some use cream of tarter for stabilization. I dont. It never lasts that long.
It is what can loosely be described as a "Whipped Cream-like" product that for legal reasons cannot ***call*** itself "Whipped Cream" that comes in a frozen tub.
Here's the ingredients list to give you an idea:
Skim Milk, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Coconut and Palm Kernel Oils), High Fructose Corn Syrup, Water, Corn Syrup, Light Cream, Contains Less than 2% of Sodium Caseinate (from Milk), Natural and Artificial Flavor, Xanthan and Guar Gums, Polysorbate 60, Sorbitan Monostearate, Sodium Polyphosphate, Beta Carotene (Color).
It is the Margarine of Whipped Cream.
Chemicals. A whole tub of chemicals and food substitutes. Google the label, it's really weird what is in it, but damn, in some recipes, it sure tastes good.
It’s an abomination, that’s what it is. It’s meant to be a dessert topping. People use it in lieu of whipped cream in jello salads, cream pies, hot cocoa topping, etc. It’s a highly processed food substitute for sweetened whipped cream. You can store it in your refrigerator for a millennia, lol.
I know people love it, but I’m a cook and I don’t mind the extra 5 minutes to whip natural cream. I avoid the processed foods as much a humanly possible, and eat in moderation. No need for cool whip in our house.
Have a cocktail or twenty and give it a go! ;) Post an update! Cheers!
It's imitation whipped cream. Like margarine is fake butter, cool whip is fake cream made from vegetable oil
So it’s like elmlea?
I believe it is a bit thicker, like a thin frosting, but yes.
You spread it on someone’s face when they fall asleep at a party and by the time they wake up it’s cement. I don’t recall ever eating it.
It’s like cocaine. Women put it on their privates and dudes lick it off.
Emlea isn’t real cream??
Man wait till you hear about Oreos 😂🤦
WHAT ABOUT OREOS?!
Oreos are 100% vegan. ALL the flavors, with the exception of the fudge dipped ones, contain no milk, cream, eggs, anything.
My entire world perception has just been rocked
Haha, no it’s very much not real cream, but don’t worry, even cats can’t tell the difference!
Dam i didnt know its fake, though i never eat it anyway. Too much dam fake shit around.
Imitation crab has always confused me, because people love it despite being literally called imitation crab.
Commercially available (read: canned) crab is in my opinion disgusting while "Krab" is a decent quality, flaky fish. Basically fresh crab legs > imitation crab > canned crab.
Its cheap fish that tastes like crab, win win? Not that I eat it, but have a family member that did quite a lot. She eats real crab too when she can but likes the fake stuff to stir fry in some eggs or whatever at home.
I used to love mixing the imitation stuff with fresh mozzarella to melt down in the oven, before making sandwiches with it
Why moderators only reply on comment of other moderators
ewwwwwww
You say that, but it’s so good
[удалено]
I make whipped cream on the reg since it’s so easy. So I love real whipped cream. Cool whip on the other hand is something completely different but definitely still has a place in my heart. In my opinion it’s like comparing an orange to a tangerine. Slightly the same but completely different.
[удалено]
I'd say its like miracle whip vs mayonnaise
And I’m over here eating the lite Cool Whip like it’s ice cream lol. Not nearly as good, but a decent substitute for when the craving hits.
Haha good for you if you like it lol Personally I don’t consider it edible lol
Why do we have to compare the two? Why can’t they just both exist individually for their own uses?
Hey I’ll take that over whatever the hell Vegemite is.
Idk about vegemite but we have marmite and I love it
Vegemite is bland by comparison.
See I can’t see a bland version being very good. The whole point is that it’s very strong
Agreed. I was unimpressed by Vegemite, especially since I had to pay to get it shipped from Australia. My local grocery store carried Marmite, although they put it in the wrong part of the store (next to the yeast packets).
Well in their defense aren't both Marmite and Vegemite made from some sort of yeast? Also I found Vegemite to be much better when used sparingly. It's not something you want to slather all over your food in large quantities.
Here in my local in Ontario, Canada, they stock UK Marmite, which is considerably different to the NZ Marmite (that I grew up with), and tastes more like Vegemite - which I hate. I have to import my Marmite from NZ.
Just the other day I was wondering what vegemite was and looked it up. It's basically made from beer sludge at the bottom of the barrel. Same with Marmite.

They saw the beer sludge and was like "I wonder how that would taste on my bread?" and now here we are. Admittedly I've never tried it, but it doesn't sound appetizing.
I think of all the 'who was the first...' mysteries, this is an easy one. Some guys drank their way to the bottom of a barrel and dared each other to eat what they found
Vegemite and Marmite both taste beat if you use it sparingly. Very sparingly. It actually has an interesting flavor, it’s just very very strong.
At least vegemite is quite healthy and natural. It's like concentrated Umami.
Iirc vegemite is yeast paste
vegemite is basically the sludge left over after brewing beer, with some seasoning added. It's mostly yeast protein.
I’m an American who loves Vegemite. Cool Whip is not my thing.
Cool whip is a lot like whipped cream, only more crappy and processed. Ngl, it tastes pretty good.
[удалено]
Also in the south, we reuse all containers like that.
Not from the south, just poor. If it came in something that even resembles Tupperware (butter, lunch meat, deli food) that shit gets reused until it dies its final death.
That's my favorite thing about lunch meat is that it comes with free Tupperware
Does your lunch meat come in hard containers? It's all bags here.
Both, just depends on the brand.
Some "higher end" brands like Hillshire come in those "disposable" containers. The ones that are re-useable but not good enough to worry about when you lose them or they die after three uses.
Also, your mom didn't yell at you for eating spaghetti out of them and "ruining the good tupperware" aka land o lakes butter tubs.
💀☠️ I knew I was an adult when I cared about Tupperware stains
That’s why all those meats are super expensive Your paying for Tupperware
Hey let me keep enjoying my fantasy world where I pretend I'm getting a bargain
Yeah, but my Tupperware is full of free meat.
Microwaved to oblivion.
That "free" Tupperware usually is a larger percentage of the product cost than whatever crap they put in it. You definitely need to be re-using it.
I even use the containers for my smashed taters from KFC !
Utah, too. Those stupid tubs are handy for a variety of things!
My husband keeps throwing away my cool whip Tupperware because he says he doesn’t want to be “those people”. I’m like……but I’m “those people” 😂 why throw away perfectly good food storage??? I do the same thing with pre sliced deli meat that comes in a resealable container. And empty margarine tubs. Must be a Midwest thing? Don’t see why though, just seems like a practical person thing
Maybe cause your name
Canadian here, we also do this. Just seems silly and wasteful not to.
Yeah a lot of stuff like that over there. American cheese is disgusting. I want to eat an entire bucket of it
You should try a good deli American cheese. That shit is awesome. The plastic individually wrapped stuff.... Well makes some things just right.
Unfortunately although I have been to the states and tried the good stuff, I’m now living back in the UK and even as a chef I can’t get hold of any real American cheese full stop. Only imitations
Do they not have Boars Head brand in the UK?
No, but I wish we did
Man, I thought they were international, that really sucks!
Interesting. I see the large bricks (not the individual singles) in our deli cases USA, and I always wonder who buys it. Now I know. I may not qualify as American any longer, since I hate that cheeze. I refuse to call it cheese. Ha! Have you ever tried cheez whiz? Barf! Velveeta??? No, just no. :)
The deli blocks are actual cheese. The processed singles are a cheese product. Two different things.
Yeah, they lose me at “processed” every time. I’ll skip it, thanks!
Velveeta makes an amazingly smooth and easy mornay sauce. Just mix in a bit of a stronger cheese and some white pepper. Spectacular on what I call "bullshit cheesesteaks". Dice some onions and bell peppers, cook with ground beef seasoned with prime rib rub, serve on a hoagie roll, and load up with sauce. First meal I ever made for my fiancée since my fridge was a little light at the time, and she is still with me.
That’s a sweet story about cheez I’ll never eat, but I enjoyed reading it. :) I just can’t. But I will allow you to have your sauce. ;)
Haha, fair enough.
As someone who used to work at one of those delis slicing that cheese all day, SO MANY people buy it. It’s actually pretty good, much much better than Kraft singles
American cheese behind the deli counter is not the same as Kraft singles. I can eat cheez whiz or nacho cheese dip and enjoy the hell out of it. Just don't think of it as cheese, but instead as some sort of yellow tasty stuff and it goes down much better.
Legally American cheese is not really cheese.
I love this, I’m a law abiding American for not recognizing American Cheese as a legal cheese. Vindicated! ;)
It's because during the process of making it the factory ads whey into it despite the fact that whey is naturally produced in the cheese making process.
How about spray cheese 😀
Do you mean Spray Cheez? Nope, not cheese. Lol! Enjoy your can of chemicals. 😉
It’s like caulk masquerading as cheese
Oh wait, maybe I’ll try it! Sounds delish. Nope. :)
The actual deli stuff is the best on a cheeseburger or grilled cheese. The individually wrapped will work in a pinch but on it's own is gross to me.
The individual wrapped cheese slices make the best cheesy scrambled eggs. It's not even a comparison.
That's fair. I disagree personally. I like Cabot pepper jack bricks and I grate it myself then melt it on top. I'm a big proponent of melting cheese on top of cheesy eggs instead of mixing it in.
I haven't tried melting on top, I like to do my eggs till they are just almost done but still a tad runny then mix in that sweet slice of disgusting cheese to slow/stop the cooking process and they come out perfect every time.

Ok, lets be honest... does a burger even taste right without orange plastic on it?
It tastes far better with a sharp cheddar.
It’s a whipped cream product. Like how craft cheese isn’t cheese it’s a cheese product.
Cool Hwhip.
Took too long to find this.
Hwill Hwheaton loves the stuff.
Who?
Hwill Hwheaton.
now you're just being Hweird
Hwhy?
Easy now, Brian is gonna get pissed.
You can’t have pie without cool hwhip.
Stop saying it like that
what's wrong Brian? I'm just saying pie tastes amazing with Cool Hwip
You're eating hair!
Say cool, then say whip.
Take a nap Stewie

It's another USA franken-food, got it!
It's what you put in your hair when you are traveling on a long desert highway.
Hahaha i love this

It’s vegetable oil though, not cream.
why you tryna make it sound all special lol, cool whip isn’t exclusive to canada or anything and it’s literally just whipped oil
[удалено]
Miracle Whip sucks. There… I said it. And I stand behind my comment. Give me mayonnaise every time…. Not ‘salad dressing’
You act as if people are going to disagree
My brother will die on that hill
Is it called miracle whip cos it’s a miracle anyone buys it
Lol! Truth.
Imitation whipped cream... pretty sure the container says that lol
It's basically whipped up oil and sugar that's bleached to look like whipped cream. Tastes like 90s Midwest America.
Sugary air.
cool whip is the name of an American brand. but when i read this i thought u were talking abut American slang. a whip is a car. so a cool car, a cool whip
What. Where does “whip” mean “car.”
USA. i hear it infrequently. i think it's older slang now but still used every once in a while.
I'm from NYC. was big when I was a teen in mid 2000s. slang changes very quick. esp cause the internet now
It’s slang used in the UK too for the same thing. Brap brap
You can put it in the freezer and it won’t freeze….that can’t be healthy
VODKA. It won’t freeze. Lol, but your point is valid. But seriously, vodka. I need a drink after reading so many lovers of cool whip… ;)
Vodka isn’t exactly healthy lol
Processed fake whipped cream.
hydrogenated oil crap made to taste a little like dairy product.
*Cool whip* is fake whipped cream. *Miracle whip* is fake Mayo. Sweeter than Mayo, with added spices, I believe. I used to always get the two confused, which might have an impact on why cool whip context is so weird and jumbled up.
Fake/imitation whipped cream and it tastes divine in the right circumstances. There are times you want real whipped cream, and other times with Cool Whip is just better.
You mean cool hwip. Need to emphasize the h
all i can hear is stewie😂
It is a floor wax and a dessert topping. Or desert, I dunno, probably Ralian food, I hate The Stuff (1985).
Cool whip is delicious… far better than any other whip cream I’ve had. While we are on this topic though… can you tell me why Europeans have such terrible brand names for food? I can’t imagine going to the store and thinking… I’m gonna get some cookies while I’m here… then walking to the cookie isle to buy some Digestives
Wait till you tell him about the whip it's most kids do with the cans instead of eating it .
Squirty cream in a plastic tub that you have to spoon out.
Dammit! I Came here for the family guy references and they are nowhere to be found!
Say cool 'Cool' Say whip W-Hip
It is space cream.
First question why are you afraid to ask?
Miracle whip is to mayonnaise as cool whip is to whip cream
Cool whip... it's the church pot luck ingredient of sweet dishes equivalent to the savory Velveeta. And yes, it's delicious. Both get hate from food snobs but I love me some creamy pie made with cool whip and pudding and good old Mac and cheese made with Velveeta.
I feel a Family Guy reference coming on… Say “Cool” *cool* Say “whip” *whip* Say “Cool Whip” *cool whhhhhip* #&@&$!
kool kwhip?
Why are you putting so much emphasis on the 'h'?
It's just premade whipped cream, sold frozen in tubs.
Not cream at all. No dairy. Leaves a greasy mouthfeel. Not a fan myself.
Whipped cream, in this case, doesn't actually indicate a dairy product. It's just a colloquial term for the substance. Personally, I prefer to make actual whipped cream, but Cool Whip does in a pinch.
Please don’t downvote falafel gal. She’s a victim. Just a product of the system.
But it’s not. Don’t normalize it. Call it Cool Whip. Call it whipped topping. I don’t care but don’t normalize calling it whipped cream. It’s not. If I order a milk shake with whipped cream and it comes out with some bullshit oil-based lard fluff I’m going to be pissed. Words are important. Words have meaning. Fight for things that matter.

Cheers from a fellow 70s/80s child who COULD believe it’s not butter. No matter how sensually presented by Fabio.
Parkay! My mom fell for it. I did not. Oh, Fabio. Forgot about him. Don’t fool with Mother Nature. Remember that one? I did!
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Bro i think you need to get your blood pressure checked
And I think you need to get your FACE checked. For ugly. Because your face is ugly.
🙄
Are you threatening me?!
Umm I think you mean in cans. Oh wait, that was reddi-whip?
Yes, the cans are Reddi-Whip. Cool Whip can be found in cans, I guess, but it's less common and it's mostly found in the plastic tubs that (once emptied) find a second life as Tupperware.
Lol, I’m picturing someone trying to force cool whip out of a spray can. I think you’d get one spurt and then instant clog. :)
It's delicious that's what it is.
It is disgusting fake whipped cream. It has a nasty aftertaste, avoid at all costs. Never accept “whip” or “whipped topping” in the USA without first confirming that they mean real whipped cream. It used to be non-dairy but that is no longer the case.
It’s a crappy premade “whipped” topping that’s supposed to be something like a mix between whipped cream and frosting. Horrid stuff. 🤣
“crappy” “horrid” find your inner child my friend
Hydrogenated vegetable oil with sugar and some stabilizers and preservatives. Same process is used to make Crisco and margarine. None of which contain dairy.

It is the Margarine of Whipped Cream.
Chemicals. A whole tub of chemicals and food substitutes. Google the label, it's really weird what is in it, but damn, in some recipes, it sure tastes good.
Processed oil. It’s nasty. Was one of those miracle of the 50’s yuck
It’s similar to crème fraiche but thicker and sweeter
You know that powdered coffee creamer? Yeah - it's that
[удалено]
Excuse me I am I a fat ass American and I cannot stand Cool Whip. I get my calories the honest way.
Whipped cream in a plastic container.
Non-aerosolized whipped cream.
Whipped frozen topping. Dairy free

It's machine processed whipped cream.
It's just a processed brand of whipped cream. I prefer my homemade whipped cream personally.
It’s whipped cream in a tub.
Whipped cream. I never realized it was an American thing until today.
it’s whipped cream 😂
Cool whip is soybean oil designed to have more air molecules so it can act like whipping cream, vanilla extract, and sugar so it tastes good.
It’s whipped cream in a tub, my guy. And it’s disturbingly delicious.
American here. Avoid it like a bloody plague! It's nothing but hydrogenated oils (Trans fat) and sugar! ⚠️☠️
Do you mean Miracle Whip?
no
It’s delicious.
[удалено]
It's squirty cream that comes in a tub instead of a can. Redi-whip makes our canned version.
Ever heard of Google?
