Cool Whip verses Redi Whip mickey_moose
  Jun 04 2008 16:17

What do you guys think tastes better? Cool Whip or Ready Whip? Cool whip free has 15 calories and Redi Whip only 5, but I think Cool Whip kicks Redi Whips a**!

I like the redi whip because I can squirt it right into my mouth for a quick sweet tooth fix. (And I know I am not the only one who does it!!!)

I'm going to have to go with Reddi Whip cool whip tastes fake icky

As far as taste alone, I prefer Cool Whip. 

As a label reader - and if taste alone is all you need to know you can stop reading here - As a label reader, I quit eating Cool Whip because of the partially hydrogenated oil. 

You're quite correct lulufit, you are not the only one who enjoys Ready Whip that way.  Also if you get the (I think) Extra Creamy version, it contains real sugar instead of corn syrup - but you have to read the labels to be sure - I think the original uses corn syrup.   I think it's interesting how the same product can use different sweeteners.  I found non-dairy creamer like that once.  All of the flavors used corn syrup for sweetener except for the vanilla caramel flavored which used real sugar.  I don't believe that is the case anymore but I could be mistaken.

I'm a HUGE fan of Cool Whip Free....I eat it EVERYDAY.  I have some on my jello and my pudding....and anywhere else I can put it...hahaha!!!!  I like to use the fat free Redi Whip in my coffee once in a while and when I have ice cream....that's my #1 pick.

I prefer cool whip, particularly if I need something for a jello salad or recipe.

did you guys hear? cool whip just introduced a spray can version, like reddy whip. i'm a little hesitant to try it, but who knows, maybe it'll taste good!

#10 pop_snap Jun 05 2008 19:23

Cool whip baby!!!!!!!!!!!

#11 sarjane Jun 05 2008 19:28

I too am a label reader and therefore I choose Reddi Whip because Cool Whip has hydrogenated oils. I like cool whips taste better but not worth it.

Reddi-wip! I used to eat 2 cans a week on my cocoa until I started feeling guilty about all the aerosol. xD

#14 purespark Jun 05 2008 21:28
Have you ever frozen Cool Whip?  What a strange substance that is.  That Styrofoam phenomenon is enough to deter me from eating it.
#15 studybug Jun 05 2008 21:29

The Cool Whip spray can is very nice.  I'm a little turned off by the oil as well, but Cool Whip just tastes so darn good frozen!

Redi Whip tastes more like real whipped cream though, so Idk, I'll eat either.

#16 doug76 Jun 05 2008 23:38

Reddi whip for sure!  they both taste similiar to me..but again, i am a label reader too..and the ingredient list of cool whip just totally turned me off.  i loooove to eat reddi whip with my sf jello.  in fact, i spray some on, eat that layer, then spray more on, eat the next layer and so on until the jello is gone.  then...hate to say it, will squirt a few more tbs on the spoon and eat it plain.  i can go through quite a bit of this in a week..its my nightime sweet fix that i dont have to feel terribly guilty about the next day.

#17 court2335 Jun 06 2008 00:02

I have to say that the spray can version of cool whip is soooo good.  Get the extra creamy and its only 15 cals per serving... too bad i had the whole can at once!

#18 naiteru Jun 06 2008 02:20
i'd have to say reddi whip. i was never really into anything cool whip... 
#19 pop_snap Jun 06 2008 04:13

Are the spray cool whips avalible at Walmart yet??????????

#20 legaleli Jun 06 2008 12:27

Redi-whip... but not the whip... only the accelerant.
