Reddi-wip
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reddi-wip is the brand of aerosol propelled, sweetened whipped cream produced by ConAgra Foods. It is sold in the following varieties: Original, Extra-Creamy, Light, Fat-Free, Non-Dairy, and Chocolate.
The Original comes in 7oz. and 14oz. cans; all other varieties, except Chocolate, come in 7oz. cans only, with Chocolate available in 6.5oz. cans only. (The Reddi-Wip site even promotes consuming the Chocolate variety, especially, on its own, presumably - as is popular with many people - dispensing it straight from the can into one's mouth.)
Despite being available in an aerosol can, it should be treated as regular cream: sealed and refrigerated when not being used.
According to the Reddi-Wip site, it is packaged in Holland, Michigan.
[edit] Interesting Facts
- Nitrous oxide, the propellant used in Reddi-wip (and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)), is the same gas that used as both a weak anaesthetic (primarily by dentists) and a performance enchancing oxidiser in motorsports
- Reddi-wip was parodied in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as "Giggle Cream"
