I was so excited that high quality whipcream makers were suddenly popular. I love making fresh whipped cream.

But apparently it's a drug thing called "whippits"

@dlakelan

Close it's a drug thing called "whippits"

@futurebird what, did it require you to do the Peewee Herman tequila dance to work properly?

@futurebird @msbellows Is this the nitrous oxide equivalent of those "spice grinders" that are actually for weed? Like, the thing was never actually intended to whip cream?

@futurebird @msbellows
My whipped cream maker (bought nearly 30 years ago) does the job for both purposes

Maybe they've gotten worse or more uni-purpose

@futurebird

@dlakelan

Something like that I assume.

I just wanted to make strawberry shortcake.

@futurebird Ah, I see about the whippits. I had a college roommate whose favorite way to get high “for free” was to go to a big grocery and abuse the cans of whipped cream right there in the aisle until security escorted him out.

@Moss

Sounds like the kind of "friend" parents have nightmares about.

@DamonWakes @futurebird @msbellows oh god help me. There was this one day when I actually wanted to grind spices?

I never did figure out the magic search term for an actual spice grinder.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @msbellows@c.im I still don't understand why you can't use your drug tool thing for real whipped cream?

@catmisgivings @DamonWakes @msbellows

"This cooking store is really colorful. But don't you have anything but spice grinders and whip-cream dispensers? These double boilers are awfully small? What's that about?"

Us out shopping probably.

@futurebird he was! He’s here on fedi, and we’re both a bit wiser now.

@driusan @msbellows

It lets the gas out too fast and it's all bubbly and runny.

@futurebird

@futurebird @dlakelan And why does this "herb grinder" not work on my oregano?

@futurebird it's ok, I don't get the joke either.

@driusan @msbellows

I mean I was dimly aware of the "whippits" thing but I really thought I was getting a "professional chef style" dispenser. It looks very professional, very sturdy and well crafted.

But... that's not what it was about at all.
