    Personally, I think Cool Whip tastes awful, and has a revolting texture. Usually, it ruins any recipe it's added to, too, for me; there's an occasional recipe exception.

    I get that others really like it, but I've never understood why. (I was 11 years old when it was introduced. It was immediately and immensely popular. Part of the reason was convenience, but a lot of people liked it. Originally, in my social set, people would still make actual whipped cream for holidays and special occasions as a topping, using Cool Whip in the more routine cases. Gradually, it replaced whipped cream on special occasions, too.)

    I did as a kid but not now at all. I prefer thick home made coconut whipped if any.

    I think ground pork is good because of the fat content. bacon and ham are good too... but I do not like pork chops or tenderloin

    I love pork chops and tenderloin (they tend to have more fat when purchased from a farm, IME, due to the different breeds used, but I also don't have some kind of blanket preference for fattier meat, depends on what I'm making). Having pork shoulder tonight, however. (Bacon and ham are tasty enough, but foods I don't have often and don't really miss.)

    For me ground lamb, ground beef, and ground pork are all good, and it depends on the application.

    same here...it's just not a good product imho...and coconut whipped 'cream' is fabulous!

    Yes...it's been forever since I've had it - but was absolutely something I remember hating about it.

    I really do not like to go to restaurants. Even if it is take out I much prefer to eat at home

    Same! I would much rather eat my own food any day.

    Conversely, I like to eat out and think there is nothing wrong about a person eating in a restaurant on their own. - Well, if they can afford it. (Same about going to the cinema alone, but this is a food-thread...)

    Cool Whip is an American brand of that ready whipped cream in a can, right? - The stuff I had before (different brand, probably not quite the same) is ok, but nothing like actual whipped cream (or coconut whipped cream, either). - I have never seen anybody use that stuff for anything but very "lazy" occasions, though. (Or for kids' birthdays. I guess if you stressed about everything else you dont want to add whipping cream for hot chocolate or cake for 15 kids of whom then suddenly only 5 want whipped cream..)
