No offense taken, I just came across it yesterday on a cooking site and thought it was a funny coincidence. <img alt="banana.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/banana.gif"> Although I grew up on these types of "salads" I would never eat one now. I don't know why it's called "salad" either.

Kinda like "going further" and "going farther" don'tcha think ... either way, you get there.

Here's a scarier list of ingredients:<br><br>
Carbonated water, citric acid, concentrated grapefruit juice, potassium citrate, potassium benzoate and EDTA (to protect taste), aspartame, acesulfame potassium, acacia, natural flavors, glycerol ester of wood rosin, brominated vegetable oil, carob bean gum.<br><br>
This is supposedly for drinking. It's called "Fresca".<br><br><i>acacia?</i><br><i>glycerol ester of wood rosin?</i><br><i>brominated vegetable oil?</i><br><i>carob bean gum?</i><br><br>
To drink?<br><br>
I also count two kinds of nasty chemicals for artificial sweetner and two kinds of nasty chemicals for preservatives. Yikes.<br><br>
I used to drink this stuff until I actually looked on the side of the can.

I don't like the taste of dairy by itself.<br><br>
So I'm not a "real" whipped cream fan unless it is made with sugar or vanilla.

 

[QuixoticNotions]

I don't like cool whip OR real whipped cream<br><br>
I don't hate 'em but they add NOTHING

glycerol ester of wood rosin<br><br>
If I remember right that is also in Powerade. YUM, nothing like glycerol ester of wood rosin to quench the thirst.

Mouth feel is also a component of enjoying food. I love how luxurious whipped cream is, it adds a particular texture, as well as flavor. If I'm eating a tart rhubarb pie, I love a dollop of whipped cream with it because it helps cut the tartness, which I don't like as much as some people. Sugar helps, too, but I like whipped cream so much more.<br><br>
Dude!

I guess it really depends on what you are using the coolwhip and/or whipped cream for . . . .

 

[diablita]

good point!!!!

 

[Dougie Fresh]

I think it depends on what your using the glycerol ester of wood rosin for...
