[edit] Food, aerosol food

Am I right it was the first food product in an aeosol can, 1947? Trekphiler 00:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

It's difficult to know for sure since the aerosol can as we know it was still being invented/perfected in the late 40's, but as far as we can tell here at ConAgra Foods, Reddi-wip was one of the first companies to offer food in a modern aerosol can, and definitely the first company to do so with whipped cream.

Here's a 1999 NY Times obituary of the company's founder that maybe will help shed some light on your question: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B07E7D91F3CF937A25754C0A96F958260 (Jonbellinger (talk) 17:07, 6 May 2008 (UTC))
