THANK YOU! These culinary devices/crackers are not new, nor are the canisters...or young people using them to do what we called "whippets" back in the day.
these are whipped cream chargers, which i think is different? i've never used whippets, so tbh i do not know, but it sounds like a slightly different product
“Nitrous oxide is a gas that helps cream, as well as other ingredients, form into a frothy, whipped state upon dispensing. Compared to traditional whipping by hand, whipped cream chargers are able to increase the volume of whipped cream by 4x. ... An average whipped cream charger contains 8 grams of N2O under pressure and is non-refillable,” the company’s website says.
That’s what we used to crack the canisters…in the ‘90s! Whippets was a general term used for nitrous by a lot of people. The term came from this exact sort of device + essentially cartridges of nitrous. You bought the whipped cream device thingies at a kitchen store and sucked the nitrous right out of the nozzle once you “cracked” the single use cartridges.
The last time a Republican won the popular vote was George W. Bush in 2004. So, 20 years ago. A chatbot predicting Kamala will win the popular vote the +4 points is about as useless a prediction as their gets.
VICE, I would think you of all media outlets would know that this is not a new way to get high.
loll true yes I don’t think the nitrous part is new, but the specific brand of nitrous is?
Maybe? Although I don’t know how deep brand loyalty runs when you’re talking about 15 yr olds doing whippets.
