A sponsor of the bill that Gov. Kathy Hochul signed into law late last year sought to clarify on Wednesday amid recent confusion by convenience and grocery store owners who believed they were required to ID people buying whipped cream much as they would alcohol and tobacco.
The law bans people under age 21 from buying “whipped cream chargers” — devices that can be used to fill balloons with nitrous oxide, aka laughing gas, which is then inhaled for a high.
While the devices are visually distinct from the refrigerator case cans of Ready Whip and other brands meant for tasty treats on the go — rumors nonetheless spread of a ban on the creamy dispensers ubiquitous in stores statewide.
The bill passed by the state Senate and Assembly by large, bipartisan margins last year, with Republicans making up most of the few no votes.

It would be racist, anyway - because these same people told us blacks can’t get ID’s. :)
Whipped cream and Jello is another matter, however. Separately they are completely harmless, but combined form a deadly poison.
Yeah, change the story. Rats are scared.
unpossible minorities don’t have ID...
Anyone here remember the ‘whipped cream wriggle’?
Don’t forget the humm dinger with the aluminum foil.
LOL...
He’ll wriggle with delight and you’ll have the fun of an extra dessert. If you have a weight problem, use one of the many artificial whipped creams on the market (available in boxes, plastic containers and aerosol cans) and forego the coconut and chocolate.
And for the diet-conscious: “One Cool Whip, dear, hold the almonds.”
That's what I figured. Never heard of anyone getting high from a whipped cream can.
But, I do know about "whippits." A friend and I tried whippits once when we were barely teens. A store clerk pointed to pie filling cannisters and balloons at the front counter. She asked if we'd ever tried whippits. She said, Oh, you haven't? It's so much fun! You have to try it. She told us exactly what to do.
I guess some store clerks are still talking kids into doing this thing.
Just don’t get caught with an open container in the car.
I used to force the dogs’ mouth open and then spray.
