 ML> I believe even the equally misspelt Reddi Wip is real whipped

 NB> I looked at it in the grocery store.  It prominently states, Made With

reddiwip.com claims "real whipped cream" but its parent
conagrafoods.com merely calls it "dairy whipped topping."

But considering that one can legally label something
"fat-free sour cream" without it having cream or sourness,
... . How'd that get allowed I wonder.

 NB> Cool Whip is even worse, of course..  :)

Better in some ways for me, and I've been known to eat it by
the ladleful when in a creamy mood and without my pills.

Perhaps so, but there are foods with less appetizing names that
are, though comfortable to their originators, less so to the
rest of us.
