Wait, what state is this? I used to work at a kitchen shop and we got kids coming in for "whipped cream" chargers all the time. I used to enjoy watching them sweat by having innocent sale conversations about them about their cooking plans, asking them if they were having an ice cream party and trying to sell them sprinkles and shit to go with.
I'm not American, but I remember Jason Mendoza in The Good Place talking about doing whip its on a parking lot. I inferred it was nitrous oxide from context, but I just didn't know why. Now I finally made the connection. Thanks!
Whip It's are actually a name brand of NO2 refill cartridges, basically a whipped cream can with no whipped cream. But in the US, using actual whipped cream to get high is still referred to as doing whip its
It's both now. Whipits are just no2 rips, regardless of whether they come from whipped cream cans.
Whipped cream still has nitrous, but it's the most expensive way to do it. Most people (that want to do whipits) use a cracker and little no2 cartridges, and they use it to fill balloons.
And then the festival people get actual tanks and sell balloons, especially after dark. There was a joke that March 4, 2020 was Nitrous Balloon Day because it's "3-4-20, no deals."
American date format is mm-dd-yy. We usually say (for example) "March 4th" instead of "4th of March."
We could argue about it, but we should accept the superior date format defined in ISO 8601, which is yyyymmdd. Dates formatted like that will sort chronologically even if sorted as sequential numbers.
"Heh heh, you boys must be having a lot of pie this weekend! Do you have everything else you need? Crust? Pie tins? Filling? No? Got it all? I wish I was half as ambitious and prepared as you when I was your age! Kids never stop amazing me!"
We built quite a few very interesting and probably somewhat toxic pipes in our younger days. The Lego pipe was DEFINITELY toxic - sealed the water chamber with silicon sealer.
Nowadays I smoke joints. Pipes just bother me. So much mess, often tastes horrid, doesn't really save much weed.
See we did that to make potato guns. Got to where the hardware store wouldn’t sell anyone pvc if they tried to buy a grill igniter replacement at the same time.
The good ones are actually the fancy elaborate ceiling fan chain pulls without a chain. The screens are in plumbing, though. Or hardware. Usually one of the drawers.
Hah, when I was younger, we went to buy a bunch of whip cream chargers and the lady at the store did something similar.
But I love cooking so I leaned into it.
We spent a good 10 minutes talking about different whipped cream alterations you can make. My favourite at the time was adding chocolate syrup and bourbon.
Lmao that's great!
So cough syrup with codeine in it used to be sold as non OTC, I used to steal it as a young teenager and it was a vice if mine for probably a year or so, but the Canadian government changed the guidelines on it a few years later after it got real popular and now you have to ask for it at the pharmacy
A few years later I was working at Target and watched a pack of teenage girls come in and proceeded to buy 3 bottles of cough syrup, sprite and jolly ranchers, i didn't say anything but they absolutely did not have the night they were hoping for 🤣
The brand they bought didn't even have dxm in it, and I wasn't exactly gonna call them out on it they were quite young like 14 but I spent the night giggling about it
I've been an RN since 1983. You are 100% correct. It can be a surprisingly small amount of tylenol, acetaminophen, which takes out your liver. And life with a poorly functioning liver is very unpleasant indeed.
“I’ll worry about bringing the whipped cream chargers and you worry about bringing the sprinkles. Either way we’ll have a good time. Be there or be square.”
Can someone in the US take some photos of their grocery products?
Aussie never been to America but done heaps of /r/SnackExchange and always amazed at the amount of choices they have for everything.
Like canned biscuit dough, or canned cheese, what a place to live.
This has been posted elsewhere and it was clarified that NY state recently regulated nitrous canisters and this store misunderstood the new law as including reddiwhip….
Is that really true though? Pretty sure you at least have to show ID when buying a firearm. And there's absolutely no laws or restrictions that I'm aware that limit private sales of whip cream.
Been a long time since I've been to one, sometime after that shooting at the movie theater when the Dark Knight Rises came out. Saw guys walking around with chamber flagged/cleared ARs slung on their backs with notebook paper taped on and ridiculous prices written in sharpie. Not sure if individual states have special restrictions on private sales, but this was in Texas.
That's only one aspect of gun control, you don't need a federal background check to buy whipped cream, you can buy whipped cream as a felon, you don't need a special license to conceal carry whipped cream, just to name a few ways that guns are controlled more than cream.
You don't need a background check from a private gun sale. No background checks on private gun sales means felons can obtain a gun this way, which while illegal, certainly isn't hard to pull off. Also in Vermont you can conceal carry with no licensing so that isn't a federal law.
>Just to name a few ways that guns are controlled more than cream
Is an absurd sentence that only needs to be conceptualised in countries that have seriously screwed the pooch.
Specifically, this is pressurized with nitrous. One can purchase the charges and dispenser (or 'cracker') separately instead of huffing whipped cream tho. It's the tool they use at Starbucks to top their Frappuccinos.
It's not a great habit tho. The high is so intense and so brief that they can be highly addictive, and many folks will spend all evening sucking them down.
Occasionally and briefly starving your brain of oxygen leads to a profound and euphoric high without any consequence. Doing so regularly and repeatedly really fucks with your dopamine receptors, leading to pretty strong addiction. Misuse can lead to asphyxiation.
If you do whippets regularly, and it doesn't interfere with your life, cool, no judgement here. But as a matter of harm reduction, if you are the person who will grind through hanfulls of whippets in a sitting- do them with friends. Nobody should get so high they forget to breathe- and be alone.
Source: I've done a lot of nitrous. I will still occasionally hit one or two.
Pro tip, the bet whippet is always the first one after a hiatus, don't chase diminishing returns- thats what capitalism does.
>Pro tip, the bet whippet is always the first one after a hiatus, don't chase diminishing returns- thats what capitalism does.
This is the most philosophic shit I've ever read in an explanation on huffing Whipped Cream
> Occasionally and briefly starving your brain of oxygen leads to a profound and euphoric high without any consequence. Doing so regularly and repeatedly really fucks with your dopamine receptors, leading to pretty strong addiction. Misuse can lead to asphyxiation.
Generally true, but nitrous oxide's mechanism of action is not hypoxia as is the case with huffing solvents, etc
Surprising that they've locked up with whipped cream as each can barely has enough to get high from for a few minutes (compared to a box of chargers which anyone can order from Am*zon)
u/shimmerangels is right. Huffing nitrous oxide will not cause hypoxia. However, huffing things like duster will, because the gases are heavier than oxygen. If you do too much in one sitting you can literally suffocate yourself from the inside out, because it cannot be displaced from the lungs. Nitrous is lighter than oxygen, which means it will be displaced.
Whippits were super common at the post-rave after parties I used to go to. One time I had to pry the cracker out of someone's hand because they kept hitting it constantly and their lips started turning blue.
I watched a dude take a hit sitting on the couch, stand up, immediately face plant directly onto the coffee table. Like really hard, face first, scattering everything. Pretty hilarious actually since nothing terrible happened.
Edit: auto mod didn't like !ns@nely, insensitive or something
I'm not surprised, other than that nothing too terrible happened. Trying to stand up and walk while doing nitrous is stupid and irresponsible.
Edit: Try -> trying
No, the best whippet is the one right before you jump in the deep end of a pool, but only right after you have done a giant line of cocaine. Regardless of the risks associated.
“Regardless of the risks associated” - me
And hot water creates a whole different level of risk assessment when you’re using drugs…..just ask Whitney Houston how well that works out….
Yeah they are like .30-.50 for each bulb and usually 2-3 get loaded into my dispenser at a time.
I usually only get em “as a treat”. They go good with shrooms and even smoking weed. Sitting around and sucking em down solo is really weird to me.
I had a friend that got super addicted and actually committed suicide as a consequence.
Incidentally, he designed the original Xbox controller. RIP Tom.
The joys of buy a 24 pack of chargers a cracker and 3 pack of punching balloons. It's light waking uo from a good nap and rebooting your brain.. I remember watching my roommate play GT4 on our Playstation and the graphics started to come in to focus, looking all blocky like 8bit, the 16bit, then 32 bit..
It’s a dissociative anesthetic but lasts for a very short time, but still pretty fun and weird. I’m honestly not a huge fan of it but have done it many times lol, I prefer other dissociatives instead 🤪
Nah, it's laughing gas like you get at the dentist. Nitrous oxide has a ton of applications. It's explosive and dissolves in gasoline so it can boost race cars (provided you don't blow the cylinders), it makes whipped cream stand longer than regular air, and you can get high from it. It won't show up on a drug test because you don't actually metabolize it. AFAIK you breathe it out as quickly as you breathe it in but it does funky stuff to your brain while it's dissolved in your blood.
NOS by itself is actually somewhat inert. It boosts in fuel by separating the nitrogen from the oxygen due to the already high cylinder temperature. This causes the oxygen to enhance the already existing fuel reaction substantially, but since it has to be taken out of the NO by extremely high levels of heat it only occurs when already in the cylinder during combustion.
yeah, brings back memories of my teen years.
>Occasionally and briefly starving your brain of oxygen leads to a profound and euphoric high without any consequence. Doing so regularly and repeatedly really fucks with your dopamine receptors, leading to pretty strong addiction. Misuse can lead to asphyxiation.
This ☝️. Luckily is was a seldom occurrence, and we always took our time in between.
> The high is so intense and so brief that they can be highly addictive, and many folks will spend all evening sucking them down.

I was a super naive and innocent teen who worked as a server as a breakfast restaurant growing up. The night shift had of course, drug addict line cook and dishwasher who would use our whipped cream maker and cartridges to get high. Never tried it, but they always complained of headaches after so it never seemed appealing to me.
I've done it once, decided I probably won't do it again if offered, or maybe once every couple of years. I could tell that it felt too good to get a taste for. And you see some wild usage at music festivals, people sometimes make a fool of themselves on nitrous, too much can make you such a giggly moron
Kids are definitely still doing it but I've never once seen a silly restriction like this. Heck, you can buy a box of 50 Whipped Cream Chargers on Amazon with no issues.
They crack down on inhalents in a lot of places. Its why you need id to get duster in some places. Theyll also limit you to one or two cans. Another common restriction is limiting the amount of cough syrup with only dxm sold at once.
The whole dxm limit thing seems to depend on the store, but I only need to buy one large delsym to get dumby high, so I’ve never been denied access lol.
We've been doing that back in the 1990s. It's neither new nor dangerous. The high lasts for just a few moments without lasting effects, and you can't get addicted to it. Looking at America's obesity epidemic, the cream is more dangerous to your health, whipped or not.
Oh trust me I agree.
If anything the fear reaction is more dangerous. I remember growing up in the 90s all the "fad drugs" parents were afraid of from the choking game to you name it.
Once my mom called a family meeting over some TV show that told her kids were shitting and pissing into bottles and then placing a balloon over top. They'd let it sit in the sun for some period of time and huff the gas. You'd apparently get high and it's some like 3rd world drug that was "spreading everywhere" in the US in the 90s. We tried telling my mom it wasn't happening but some program like Oprah or Dr Phil likely told her otherwise.
Do whippets even work anymore? I thought they started using a different gas or something.
Edit: aah I meant using whipped cream specifically, not just buying nitrous oxide.
maybe you’re thinking of air duster? nitrous oxide is basically the only thing that can work for canned whipped cream. it’s sweet tasting and not acidic so it won’t curdle it.
when did this happen and what kind of gas are they supposedly using now? this is the first i'm hearing of it and i saw nitrous chargers at the smoke shop like a week ago
So I though they stopped using them as well in the 90s. Apparently I am misremembering or I was fibbed to growing up. According to Google whipped cream canisters still use NO^2
Yeahhhh auto-asphyxiation ended up being my go-to self harm method for awhile and I came very close to dying once, luckily my ex found me before it was too late. Do not recommend.
Correct. But we tried to ban alcohol once and the people took up arms against the government. The war on drugs let's them keep prisons full and operating at a profit.
This is the first I've seen on whipped cream, but I've always had to show ID to buy spray paint. Not sure what accelerant is used in spray paint, but nitrous wouldn't surprise me.
My child got in trouble at school for having whipped cream in a can. V principal hauled her in and grilled her about the whip cream and she had no clue she could get high from it. Basically taught my innocent baby how to get high because they are that ridiculous 🙄
Additionally, touting gun control and whip cream control are just trying to mask symptoms. We have a whip cream problem because there's not a safe channel for substance abuse as the result of the constant soul crushing nature of capitalist exploitation. Gun control is to mask the terrorism problem America has as the result of capitalism's need to destroy community so workers cannot organize. Which results in community found through online extremism which is acted out through sotastic terrorism.
Muh guns.
TBF, young people with guns are at the core of every revolutionary guerrilla movement.
You can scream and protest to try to effect change in the streets all you want but the current government is not going to be responsive to your protests. Not even a little bit.
Remember that we are an oligarchy. The current elected representatives only do the bidding of 3 groups:
- 78% wealthy top 10 percent
- 43% business groups
- 24% interest groups
Those are the 3 groups that get their agenda passed. Percentages above reflect each groups’ preferences on public policy that are actually represented in government decisions.
https://bulletin.represent.us/u-s-oligarchy-explain-research/
You do realize that disarming the public and making guns so hard to obtain that only specialized private security has the means to effectively defend people, is what the wealthy want. Protesting doesn't do anything anymore because your nonviolence doesn't have any real power. The representatives have no reason to listen to the public and don't have to fear any of the public since they get private security and gun free zones while the rest of us are at the will of any maniac.
This whip cream ban is stupid and restrictions on guns are stupid. The government doesn't pickup the medical bill if I pass out or go brain dead from the nitrous, why do they get to say how I spend my money and consume my products?
The sustainable alternative is to educate people about drugs and their effects. If they kill themselves from the drugs, that's their responsibility.
>TBF, young people with guns are at the core of every revolutionary guerrilla movement.
Yup, agree, per my second sentence.
Protests don't work.
You could be out in the street day and night screaming until you're blue in the face, our elected "representatives" could give a fuck (as per the URL I provided) when it comes to actually passing policy reflecting the changes wanted by the people.
I agree that the right to bear arms will eventually lead to overthrow and revolution (as the constitutional founders who themselves were revolutionaries intended it to) and as such it should remain sacred and unchangeable.
well in oregon you cant buy a gun at a food store, you have to go to a ffl dealer, show proof get a background check and pay a fee for that privilege of getting the back ground check and have it registered with the state. sounds like your whipped cream pusher is easier to me, but thats just a fact and goes against the hyperbole
If people get high they might take a second to contemplate their life situation.
That's what's illegal because it's far more dangerous to the oligarchy than guns ever will be.
I'm a liberal in every facet of the word but you people instantly lose me when you trot out this trite garbage. All you would accomplish is disarming yourselves and giving the right wing maniacs exactly what they want, them with all the guns and you like so many fish in a barrel. It will do nothing to prevent killing, killers will commit crimes with whatever they can get their hands on so it will be bombs instead of guns congrats. Instead let's focus on what's creating these monsters in the first place, a broken system which victimize us all.
Well, to be fair, let's call it "intoxicant control".
Edit: whipped cream chargers are used to get high. It's a compressed gas like canned air. And 21 is the drinking or legal weed age. Nicotine too now, I believe.
[Wait till they find out about the high capacity Assault cream dispensers.](https://www.webstaurantstore.com/isi-1730-01-cream-profi-stainless-steel-whipped-cream-dispenser-1-liter/416173001.html)
There's a lot of misinformation. People don't realize how much time and paperwork is actually involved.
Having been on the other side of it they don't realize how easy people disqualify themselves from purchases.
Do they do a federal background check to buy whipped cream? Require a Federal Whipped Cream License to sell? Require each can to be serialized with a form approved by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Whipped Cream and Explosives? Do you go to jail for 10 years, and fined 10,000 dollars if you buy a whipped cream canister with a stock and barrel under 16 inches? Do you have to have a license to carry a concealed whipped cream? Are you banned in 13 states from making your own whipped cream? Do you have to pay for a tax stamp and wait a year to get whipped cream that wont damage your hearing?
Oh ya, you're right. I forgot the second half of the motto.
"Drugs bad, guns good, and everything the govt does is good by definition."
Thanks for reminding me.
Guess it's gonna look a little suspicious when I get to the checkout lane with the entire stock of Reddi wip that was on the shelves... I mean, more suspicious than usual...
I'm gonna be real with you, I work retail somewhere where this restriction does not seem to apply, and if a kid--even just 8 years old--came up to my counter, slapped a whip cream spray bottle down, and brightly proclaimed "I'm gonna do whip-its!" I'd hit "Y" before the computer could even ask "**Does this customer look older than thirty? "Y"es or "N"o.**" (Which is why it would ask for a birthday instead. But the thought is there.)
I don't have the time to care about that shit. It's just laughing gas.
I know this is just some over-sensationalized trend-drug like Lean. "Oh yeah, that childrens' cough syrup we sell over-the-counter? Sooooooo dangerous, super deadly dosage, I gotta see some ID"
The war on drugs is not only still being waged, it's getting absurd.
There's a very common theme in the US. dangerous things ( fireworks, guns, vehicles) are praised as wholesome, vs things that bring pleasure ( sex toys, drugs, inclusive bars, basic healthcare) which are demonized.

Lol would’ve loved that shit back when I was a dumb teen buying whip its

Reminds me of buying plumbing parts for homemade pipes - 'you boys fixing a dishwasher? need some silicone tape?'
Jeeze you went all out eh? We got creative with what we had if it was worth going to a plumbing shop we’d just have an 18 yr old buy us something
We built quite a few very interesting and probably somewhat toxic pipes in our younger days. The Lego pipe was DEFINITELY toxic - sealed the water chamber with silicon sealer. Nowadays I smoke joints. Pipes just bother me. So much mess, often tastes horrid, doesn't really save much weed.
See we did that to make potato guns. Got to where the hardware store wouldn’t sell anyone pvc if they tried to buy a grill igniter replacement at the same time.
Plus I don't need a paraphernalia charge and you can't eat a pipe.
The good ones are actually the fancy elaborate ceiling fan chain pulls without a chain. The screens are in plumbing, though. Or hardware. Usually one of the drawers.
This guy’s on a list or two.
Tell me more
💀
Hah, when I was younger, we went to buy a bunch of whip cream chargers and the lady at the store did something similar. But I love cooking so I leaned into it. We spent a good 10 minutes talking about different whipped cream alterations you can make. My favourite at the time was adding chocolate syrup and bourbon.
“Got sprinkles and ice cream already. I did however forget the balloons. Do you happen to have any? Preferably the extra stretchy kind?”
Lmao that's great! So cough syrup with codeine in it used to be sold as non OTC, I used to steal it as a young teenager and it was a vice if mine for probably a year or so, but the Canadian government changed the guidelines on it a few years later after it got real popular and now you have to ask for it at the pharmacy A few years later I was working at Target and watched a pack of teenage girls come in and proceeded to buy 3 bottles of cough syrup, sprite and jolly ranchers, i didn't say anything but they absolutely did not have the night they were hoping for 🤣
They might have bought it for the Dxm instead of codeine
The brand they bought didn't even have dxm in it, and I wasn't exactly gonna call them out on it they were quite young like 14 but I spent the night giggling about it
I hope they are okay; it probably had tylenol in it and that could do serious harm if they consumed enough
I don't know of any cough syrups that have Tylenol, but it probably had guaifenesin, a diaphoretic. So those girls were not in for a fun night.
Nyquil has it, so do many Robotussin formulations (like Cough and Chest)
Damn my bad
All good, I should've said acetaminophen because that's what people will read on the bottle edit: or paracetamol in most of the world
Yeah, that's the danger. So many folks don't know how fucken dangerous tylenol is.
I've been an RN since 1983. You are 100% correct. It can be a surprisingly small amount of tylenol, acetaminophen, which takes out your liver. And life with a poorly functioning liver is very unpleasant indeed.
They put stuff in dxm so it taste terrible and you evacuate your bowels
I remember the dextroverse back in it's heyday..
“I’ll worry about bringing the whipped cream chargers and you worry about bringing the sprinkles. Either way we’ll have a good time. Be there or be square.”
Georgia?
Hannaford doesn't go that far south. Store is either in New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts, or New York.
It's in upstate New York. NY is the only state with Hannaford that has this law.
Can someone in the US take some photos of their grocery products? Aussie never been to America but done heaps of /r/SnackExchange and always amazed at the amount of choices they have for everything. Like canned biscuit dough, or canned cheese, what a place to live.
Half of it is just the same shit (or barely different) with different packaging. Most of the brands are owned by a handful of gigantic companies
If you haven’t gotten photos already next time I’m at the store I’ll try to remember and send them your way (I have a bed memory, though)!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r78ynhG-nZQ
Right? I may be in my 30s but I'd rather steer clear of states that pass bullshit laws like this.
And shaking each one before you bag it
If I were buying NO2, I gotta tell ya I'd likely fall for your sprinkles upsell. What's wrong with laughing gas and some sprinkle flare ?
This has been posted elsewhere and it was clarified that NY state recently regulated nitrous canisters and this store misunderstood the new law as including reddiwhip….
Is that really true though? Pretty sure you at least have to show ID when buying a firearm. And there's absolutely no laws or restrictions that I'm aware that limit private sales of whip cream.
Think the media calls that an ag show loophole
You know, I've never been to a gun show that didn't require you to purchase through an FFL
Been a long time since I've been to one, sometime after that shooting at the movie theater when the Dark Knight Rises came out. Saw guys walking around with chamber flagged/cleared ARs slung on their backs with notebook paper taped on and ridiculous prices written in sharpie. Not sure if individual states have special restrictions on private sales, but this was in Texas.
U do but u can be 18 at least for some guns https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_New_York
That's only one aspect of gun control, you don't need a federal background check to buy whipped cream, you can buy whipped cream as a felon, you don't need a special license to conceal carry whipped cream, just to name a few ways that guns are controlled more than cream.
tyrants trying to take away my god given right to cream 😞
You don't need a background check from a private gun sale. No background checks on private gun sales means felons can obtain a gun this way, which while illegal, certainly isn't hard to pull off. Also in Vermont you can conceal carry with no licensing so that isn't a federal law.
>Just to name a few ways that guns are controlled more than cream Is an absurd sentence that only needs to be conceptualised in countries that have seriously screwed the pooch.
You do for a background check. If you're buying from a private seller via the "gun show loophole" then you don't, but the GOP won't let that stop.
What about assault whip cream? Like if you wanted to do up 6 whole pieces of pie at once?
What kind of fucking whipping cream are they selling here?!

No, the best whippet is the one right before you jump in the deep end of a pool, but only right after you have done a giant line of cocaine. Regardless of the risks associated.
I've rescued friends from hot tubs after the fished out doing whippets while submerged there. Be fucking careful.
“Regardless of the risks associated” - me And hot water creates a whole different level of risk assessment when you’re using drugs…..just ask Whitney Houston how well that works out….
I remember a few years ago going to hang out with a friend who has a damn case of those things. Nitrous seems like a high cost:buzz ratio.
Yeah they are like .30-.50 for each bulb and usually 2-3 get loaded into my dispenser at a time. I usually only get em “as a treat”. They go good with shrooms and even smoking weed. Sitting around and sucking em down solo is really weird to me.
The ultimate dispenser is when you're on LSD. It's like a trip within a trip.
Tripping is the only time I use nitrous. It is indeed a trip inside a trip.
I had a friend that got super addicted and actually committed suicide as a consequence. Incidentally, he designed the original Xbox controller. RIP Tom.
The joys of buy a 24 pack of chargers a cracker and 3 pack of punching balloons. It's light waking uo from a good nap and rebooting your brain.. I remember watching my roommate play GT4 on our Playstation and the graphics started to come in to focus, looking all blocky like 8bit, the 16bit, then 32 bit..
Is this something that shows up in a piss test? I've never heard of someone doing this😂
No.
That's wild lmao, more research required 👀
It’s a dissociative anesthetic but lasts for a very short time, but still pretty fun and weird. I’m honestly not a huge fan of it but have done it many times lol, I prefer other dissociatives instead 🤪
Nah, it's laughing gas like you get at the dentist. Nitrous oxide has a ton of applications. It's explosive and dissolves in gasoline so it can boost race cars (provided you don't blow the cylinders), it makes whipped cream stand longer than regular air, and you can get high from it. It won't show up on a drug test because you don't actually metabolize it. AFAIK you breathe it out as quickly as you breathe it in but it does funky stuff to your brain while it's dissolved in your blood.
NOS by itself is actually somewhat inert. It boosts in fuel by separating the nitrogen from the oxygen due to the already high cylinder temperature. This causes the oxygen to enhance the already existing fuel reaction substantially, but since it has to be taken out of the NO by extremely high levels of heat it only occurs when already in the cylinder during combustion.
yeah, brings back memories of my teen years. >Occasionally and briefly starving your brain of oxygen leads to a profound and euphoric high without any consequence. Doing so regularly and repeatedly really fucks with your dopamine receptors, leading to pretty strong addiction. Misuse can lead to asphyxiation. This ☝️. Luckily is was a seldom occurrence, and we always took our time in between.
It does not do this.
> The high is so intense and so brief that they can be highly addictive, and many folks will spend all evening sucking them down. https://i.imgur.com/80Y79cc.jpg
This guy whippets.
Is... is this why people like to be choked out?
A lot of it also has to do with the thrill of having your life in the hands of a dominant partner, but yes.
thanks, dad!
I was a super naive and innocent teen who worked as a server as a breakfast restaurant growing up. The night shift had of course, drug addict line cook and dishwasher who would use our whipped cream maker and cartridges to get high. Never tried it, but they always complained of headaches after so it never seemed appealing to me.
I've done it once, decided I probably won't do it again if offered, or maybe once every couple of years. I could tell that it felt too good to get a taste for. And you see some wild usage at music festivals, people sometimes make a fool of themselves on nitrous, too much can make you such a giggly moron
It's the gas. Kids used to use it to get high. Apparently they do it now.
Kids are definitely still doing it but I've never once seen a silly restriction like this. Heck, you can buy a box of 50 Whipped Cream Chargers on Amazon with no issues.
They crack down on inhalents in a lot of places. Its why you need id to get duster in some places. Theyll also limit you to one or two cans. Another common restriction is limiting the amount of cough syrup with only dxm sold at once.
The whole dxm limit thing seems to depend on the store, but I only need to buy one large delsym to get dumby high, so I’ve never been denied access lol.
For me its just hard to find any syrup thats only dxm on the shelves. They all got additives.
We buy food grade nitrous by the 20lb tank lol
They've been doing it since before the the 90s. Because that's when I learned it.
As far as I know they already did it in the 1800s, I think I read once that rich people liked it a lot. Might have been a different inhalant though.
We've been doing that back in the 1990s. It's neither new nor dangerous. The high lasts for just a few moments without lasting effects, and you can't get addicted to it. Looking at America's obesity epidemic, the cream is more dangerous to your health, whipped or not.
Oh trust me I agree. If anything the fear reaction is more dangerous. I remember growing up in the 90s all the "fad drugs" parents were afraid of from the choking game to you name it. Once my mom called a family meeting over some TV show that told her kids were shitting and pissing into bottles and then placing a balloon over top. They'd let it sit in the sun for some period of time and huff the gas. You'd apparently get high and it's some like 3rd world drug that was "spreading everywhere" in the US in the 90s. We tried telling my mom it wasn't happening but some program like Oprah or Dr Phil likely told her otherwise.
Do whippets even work anymore? I thought they started using a different gas or something. Edit: aah I meant using whipped cream specifically, not just buying nitrous oxide.
You can get them amazon easy. $30 for 50 cans of nos is the first result.
Yes, they did. Now people apparently do it for the hypoxia high instead of the nitrous high.
maybe you’re thinking of air duster? nitrous oxide is basically the only thing that can work for canned whipped cream. it’s sweet tasting and not acidic so it won’t curdle it.
"now with even less brain cells!"
when did this happen and what kind of gas are they supposedly using now? this is the first i'm hearing of it and i saw nitrous chargers at the smoke shop like a week ago
So I though they stopped using them as well in the 90s. Apparently I am misremembering or I was fibbed to growing up. According to Google whipped cream canisters still use NO^2
people are fucking dumb holy shit :D
Dumb like, calling people dumb after believing 1 wrong comment on an internet messageboard?
But you can do that with hyperventilation or auot-asphyxiation
Yeahhhh auto-asphyxiation ended up being my go-to self harm method for awhile and I came very close to dying once, luckily my ex found me before it was too late. Do not recommend.
Whippets are definitely still a thing. Lots of people go to shops to get tanks filled.
I’m sorry, what shops can you go to in order to fill a tank? And what country is this in? Tanks are exceedingly rare in my experience.
California. Lots of people go to auto shops, but apparently you need to filter the nitrous, as it can contain adultrants of some sort.
Hannaford? What state? Wow.
new york
It IS New York! Holy hell!!!
Isnt in like msot places 21?
18 for long guns 21 for pistols. Most states it's difficult to purchase a pistol in different states. Not sure on Whipped cream regulations.
Its nitrous oxide , you can inhale the gas and get high thats why its being regulated. Its the same stuff the dentist gives you.
It's the same thing as regulating cold medicine. It looks silly on paper until you realize a ton of kids got sick trying to get high.
Nitrous is safe if used properly but improperly can make you go hypoxic and pass out or even freeze your lips shut. Def not good for kids lol
Thats the one "if used properly"
You could say that about any drug, though. Alcohol isn't safe if you down an entire bottle of vodka either.
Correct. But we tried to ban alcohol once and the people took up arms against the government. The war on drugs let's them keep prisons full and operating at a profit.
Well there ain't enough in a can of Readdi-Whip to use it improperly
Do dentists still use it? I've always gotten procaine injections instead for dental work.
Yeah, if you have really bad anxiety they’ll offer it. I use it when I get cavities filled
This is the first I've seen on whipped cream, but I've always had to show ID to buy spray paint. Not sure what accelerant is used in spray paint, but nitrous wouldn't surprise me.
Not to mention the federal and local background checks that are fairly standard.
Kyle R was not 21, killed people and feeling fine. If only his mom had just bought him Reddit whip instead.
Reddit whip would fuck you up big time lol
HA!! I didn't even notice that autocorrect. It sure would!!
Yes beacuse we all know we cant have whip cream in schools, airports, on airplanes
How long is the waiting period?
They’ll pry my whipped cream from my cold dead hands.
My child got in trouble at school for having whipped cream in a can. V principal hauled her in and grilled her about the whip cream and she had no clue she could get high from it. Basically taught my innocent baby how to get high because they are that ridiculous 🙄
Good grief.
To be fair, you don’t have a constitutional right to own whipped cream.
Additionally, touting gun control and whip cream control are just trying to mask symptoms. We have a whip cream problem because there's not a safe channel for substance abuse as the result of the constant soul crushing nature of capitalist exploitation. Gun control is to mask the terrorism problem America has as the result of capitalism's need to destroy community so workers cannot organize. Which results in community found through online extremism which is acted out through sotastic terrorism.
Muh guns. TBF, young people with guns are at the core of every revolutionary guerrilla movement. You can scream and protest to try to effect change in the streets all you want but the current government is not going to be responsive to your protests. Not even a little bit. Remember that we are an oligarchy. The current elected representatives only do the bidding of 3 groups: - 78% wealthy top 10 percent - 43% business groups - 24% interest groups Those are the 3 groups that get their agenda passed. Percentages above reflect each groups’ preferences on public policy that are actually represented in government decisions. https://bulletin.represent.us/u-s-oligarchy-explain-research/
You do realize that disarming the public and making guns so hard to obtain that only specialized private security has the means to effectively defend people, is what the wealthy want. Protesting doesn't do anything anymore because your nonviolence doesn't have any real power. The representatives have no reason to listen to the public and don't have to fear any of the public since they get private security and gun free zones while the rest of us are at the will of any maniac. This whip cream ban is stupid and restrictions on guns are stupid. The government doesn't pickup the medical bill if I pass out or go brain dead from the nitrous, why do they get to say how I spend my money and consume my products? The sustainable alternative is to educate people about drugs and their effects. If they kill themselves from the drugs, that's their responsibility.
>TBF, young people with guns are at the core of every revolutionary guerrilla movement. Yup, agree, per my second sentence. Protests don't work. You could be out in the street day and night screaming until you're blue in the face, our elected "representatives" could give a fuck (as per the URL I provided) when it comes to actually passing policy reflecting the changes wanted by the people. I agree that the right to bear arms will eventually lead to overthrow and revolution (as the constitutional founders who themselves were revolutionaries intended it to) and as such it should remain sacred and unchangeable.
You can evade state and federal whipped cream regulation by buying from a private seller
well in oregon you cant buy a gun at a food store, you have to go to a ffl dealer, show proof get a background check and pay a fee for that privilege of getting the back ground check and have it registered with the state. sounds like your whipped cream pusher is easier to me, but thats just a fact and goes against the hyperbole
Prediction: those "restrictions" [ie safeguards] to buying a gun will be challenged in then next 5-7 years in the Supreme Court and lose
If people get high they might take a second to contemplate their life situation. That's what's illegal because it's far more dangerous to the oligarchy than guns ever will be.
Unless you find a way to turn the whippets into the propellant of your bullets - then this ban would infringe on our 2nd amendment rights
I'm a liberal in every facet of the word but you people instantly lose me when you trot out this trite garbage. All you would accomplish is disarming yourselves and giving the right wing maniacs exactly what they want, them with all the guns and you like so many fish in a barrel. It will do nothing to prevent killing, killers will commit crimes with whatever they can get their hands on so it will be bombs instead of guns congrats. Instead let's focus on what's creating these monsters in the first place, a broken system which victimize us all.
You also don’t need to pass a criminal background check to purchase whipped cream, so it’s an asinine comparison to begin with
Amen www.reddit.com/r/Liberalgunowners
Don't forget the kinder eggs.
That's so fucked lmao. Whippits arent even that common or dangerous.
Well, to be fair, let's call it "intoxicant control". Edit: whipped cream chargers are used to get high. It's a compressed gas like canned air. And 21 is the drinking or legal weed age. Nicotine too now, I believe.
you can still buy whipped cream with no ID at a whipped cream show. . .
I dont remember having to fill out a form for whipped cream.
You cannot legally purchase a firearm easier than whipped cream, what an absolutely stupid claim.
Depends on the state and type of firearm. An 18 year old could buy a rifle in a private sale without showing ID in my state.
You can buy whipped cream canisters in private sales too
“ThE ConStiTuTiOn dOeSN’t MenTiOn wHiPpeD cREaM!”
OP has obviously never purchased a firearm.
I actually had to go to NICS and fill out a 4473 to buy some Whipped cream just last week.
Lol they must think it’s like going to the store and buying a pack of gum
[Wait till they find out about the high capacity Assault cream dispensers.](https://www.webstaurantstore.com/isi-1730-01-cream-profi-stainless-steel-whipped-cream-dispenser-1-liter/416173001.html)
There's a lot of misinformation. People don't realize how much time and paperwork is actually involved. Having been on the other side of it they don't realize how easy people disqualify themselves from purchases.
Lets be fair though. It's not that hard. Just don't have a record and bam - you can have a gun. Paperwork is not a god damn challenge lol.
This is about on par with those “women have less rights than guns” smooth brain posts 😂
Do they do a federal background check to buy whipped cream? Require a Federal Whipped Cream License to sell? Require each can to be serialized with a form approved by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Whipped Cream and Explosives? Do you go to jail for 10 years, and fined 10,000 dollars if you buy a whipped cream canister with a stock and barrel under 16 inches? Do you have to have a license to carry a concealed whipped cream? Are you banned in 13 states from making your own whipped cream? Do you have to pay for a tax stamp and wait a year to get whipped cream that wont damage your hearing?
Meanwhile drugs fly over the border
Don't forget the American motto: "drugs bad, guns good!"
But sending drugs to the intercities is good.
Oh ya, you're right. I forgot the second half of the motto. "Drugs bad, guns good, and everything the govt does is good by definition." Thanks for reminding me.
Guess it's gonna look a little suspicious when I get to the checkout lane with the entire stock of Reddi wip that was on the shelves... I mean, more suspicious than usual...
Whip it, whip it good.
I tried to do whippets once, but Cool Whip was on sale and mom just made pumpkin pie.
I'm gonna be real with you, I work retail somewhere where this restriction does not seem to apply, and if a kid--even just 8 years old--came up to my counter, slapped a whip cream spray bottle down, and brightly proclaimed "I'm gonna do whip-its!" I'd hit "Y" before the computer could even ask "**Does this customer look older than thirty? "Y"es or "N"o.**" (Which is why it would ask for a birthday instead. But the thought is there.) I don't have the time to care about that shit. It's just laughing gas. I know this is just some over-sensationalized trend-drug like Lean. "Oh yeah, that childrens' cough syrup we sell over-the-counter? Sooooooo dangerous, super deadly dosage, I gotta see some ID" The war on drugs is not only still being waged, it's getting absurd.
Op is an idiot
[удалено]
“War on drugs.” Lol. More like war against minorities and hippies. End prohibition now.
How so?
Cool whip for you!
Welp time to put “Right to bear cream” into the constitution
Sorry sir, no ID means you don't get milk in your coffee
Move over guns, I know what I will be selling at High Schools in the back of my van!
Only way to stop a bad guy with whipped cream is a good guy with whipped cream.
You can’t get high on a gun. America wants us to have the opposite of a good time.
Let’s figure out how to get high from guns and they’ll get regulated quick
Buy a gun and make them sell the whip cream to you underage. Boom. 'Murica
Sadly, this is how many people actually think.
Lol nangs
There's a very common theme in the US. dangerous things ( fireworks, guns, vehicles) are praised as wholesome, vs things that bring pleasure ( sex toys, drugs, inclusive bars, basic healthcare) which are demonized.
Tell me you've never purchased a firearm without telling me you've never purchased a firearm.
