FF Cool Whip-Yikes!

  • Ya know, I use this all the time and at first I measured it carefully but lately I've just been "eyeballing" it. Well, I looked at the label last night and was shocked to see that there are supposed to be 25 servings in a regular size container! 25!!! I'm lucky if I get 6!
  • Yeah, those tablespoons are hard to eyeball. I try all the time...smooshing it down into a tablespoon is tough, so I just eyeball it. I know it takes us about two weeks to go through a tub...usually 2 servings a night...so I guess that about works out to 25 servings...but probably a bit less.

    I did find a little shot glass at Wal*Mart that is marked with measurements in tablespoons. That might be more convenient for measuring.
  • You're supposed to measure?
  • OMG DH & I (mostly me) go thru at least a tub a week. I REALLY have to start paying better attention to portion sizes on this stuff!

    But 2 tblsp. seems so small
  • at Peggy..

    I think portion control is my biggest problem! But I must admit that the PB cup is just as delish with 2 Tbsp of cool whip, so...I guess I just need to deal. *sigh*
  • I went to the grocery store last night and wanted to buy some cool whip or similar. I looked at Cool Whip and all the off brands and all of them had corn syrup in them. Is there one out there that is just fluff without the sugar?
  • I don't think so...........
  • They make the fluff from sugar. The only other similar thing would be the original: whip heavy cream with splenda. Yes, there is a lot of saturated fat, but no trans fat (at least, I don't think so...there is definitely trans fat in Cool Whip), and with the small amount (2 Tbsp) you are unlikely to have probs. from the fat.
