On Another note, do you want to know something super disturbing, like it will give you nightmares for days and maybe blow your mind? Read this ingredient label:

Wait a minute..and Hold the phone!!

Isn’t “ whipped cream “ supposed to be well, just…whipped.. heavy cream? At least that’s how it used to be made. How can this popular whipped cream call itself ” whipped cream ” when it has less than 2% of real cream in it?! Not to mention, this popular “ whipped cream “..* cough cough* COOL WHIP * cough cough*, is literally just water whipped with vegetable oil and corn syrup, plus added flavoring. Can you say YUCK?! Think about that the next time you put some Cool Whip on your dessert!

The Inspired Prairie information of the day: Did you know that the first few ingredients on a food ingredient label, is what the product is mostly made of? The reason being is because they have to put ingredients in order by weight. Therefore the first ingredient listed is present in the largest amount, with the very last ingredient being the one present in the least amount. BOTTOM LINE- If you consume Cool Whip, you are literally eating water-whipped-corn syrup. MMM! ( Not )
