Reddi-wip

Reddi-wip

Reddi-wip is the brand of aerosol propelled, sweetened whipped cream produced by ConAgra Foods. It is sold in the following varieties: Original, Extra-Creamy, Light, Fat-Free, Non-Dairy, and Chocolate.

The Original and Extra-Creamy come in 7oz. and 14oz. cans. All other varieties, except Chocolate, come in 7oz. cans only; with Chocolate available in 6.5oz. cans only. (The Reddi-Wip site even promotes consuming the Chocolate variety, especially, on its own, presumably - as is popular with many people - dispensing it straight from the can into one's mouth.)

Despite being available in an aerosol can, it should be treated as regular cream: sealed and refrigerated when not being used.

According to the Reddi-Wip site, it is packaged in Holland, Michigan.

History

Reddi-wip was invented by Aaron S. Lapin, who was born in St. Louis on January 5, 1914. He attended the University of Missouri and then went on to Washington University School of Law in St. Louis. He started producing and selling Reddi-wip in 1946. He sold his company in 1963 to a subsidiary of ConAgra. [Ravo, Nick. "Aaron S. Lapin, Reddi-wip Creator, Dies at 85."
