== Mitchell versus Lorant ==

The rest of Wikipedia, and several external sources, credit Mitchell as the inventor of Cool Whip. But this article credit Lorant since 2016. It had a link to the US patent office website (without specific patent), merged with a citation to an article in The Atlantic which DOES credit Mitchell. So I restored Mitchell.

It's quite conceivable that the history of Cool Whip is more involved. I found several references to various court cases involving Mitchell and whipped cream; one of which even reached the Supreme Court in 1966. But this requires more digging than I have time for.

DOES COOL WHIP CONTAIN EGGS

Maybe. Ingredients and nutritional information is available on their website. --Justin Eiler 06:00, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now a general term?

I think one could argue that "cool whip" is now a general term refering to all imitation whip cream, branded or otherwise. (Just a kleenex refers to facial tissue in general.)

This is hard to prove, though. Any ideas?


I showed the correct pronunciation of "Cool Whip" in the article go check it out

Removed superfluous information. --Aaron Proot

Inventor needs a reference

William A. Mitchell also takes credit for inventing Cool Whip, so this reference needs a citation. --IanOsgood 19:47, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to ahead and change it to Mitchell, as from my research that seems to be the more credible answer. Johnsu01 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 16:14, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I have some extra creamylicious variety Cool Whip and it contains light cream as an ingredient. I just wanted to add to see if everyone agrees that this should be added to the ingredients list. Mp3sgt 03:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just added a SVG vector version of the icon - please keep. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WillT.Net (talkcontribs) 14:13, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date?

The article says it was introduced in 1967, but it's in the category of 1965 introductions. Inconsistent? --Johnsu01 (talk) 07:50, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-Cool Whip

"This had never been done before and represented a major breakthrough in food preservation." -- didn't Robert E. Rich, Sr. pull this off 22 years earlier? Jpatokal (talk) 00:11, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pet Whip

I remember an old brand of whipped cream, Pet Whip. It went out of business years ago, but is it worth mentioning? It used to be the 'name brand' while Cool Whip was considered off-brand. --Depottey (talk) 04:56, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cool Whip - Family Guy?

Should that be referenced in this article. Along with a bunch of other pop culture references. I'm referring to the Cool Whip thing on Family Guy. Look it up on Hulu or YouTube or something. Probably not WP:NOTABLE. Just a suggestion. Kausill 01:19, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm misunderestimated. (Bushism) Kausill 01:19, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-dairy

An editor with no other edits added the claim: "It was formerly marketed as non-dairy .... Cool Whip now contains skim milk and is no longer called non-dairy." with no evidence. This is contradicted by the cited ingredients list, so I have removed it. --macrakis (talk) 19:19, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Since the Ingredients section now states that it contains skimmed milk, I suppose that it's no longer inappropriate to mention the skimmed milk when discussion the "dairyness" of the product. This is substantiated by the ingredients list on Kraft's web site. Jolta (talk) 12:15, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is retarded

Really? Who added the Family Guy quote. And why has it been there for over a year. Oh well, I guess no one really ever visits this article, I just brought it up because I kept confusing Cool Whip and Miracle Whip. Removing it. Sofar 2 (talk) 11:44, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What do you expect? This is Wikipedia! There are only two kinds of “people” on Wikipedia: Totalitarian control-freak Nazis an complete retards. And they’re usually the same. You’re both of them too, by the way, so you fit right in! — 84.44.249.191 (talk) 00:42, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
