You have to show ID to buy alcohol, cigarettes, and even a can of whipped cream in New York State.
If you’ve bought the tasty addition to pie or ice cream since last fall in New York, you may have seen signs telling you you’ll have to hand over more than just payment at the register. Whipped cream cans are filled with nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas
If inhaled, the gas — also known as “whippets” or “whippits” — offers a type of high. Since November 2021, anyone under the age of 21 is prohibited from buying whipped cream cans. The law primarily targets the nitrous oxide canisters inside the cans, not the whipped cream itself, which is just guilty by association.
“I have not [done it], but I do know people who have,” says Chloe Diegel. “I think it seems a little ridiculous and silly, especially on days like this when you can make some ice cream sundaes.”

You have to 21 to have fun sex?
“We’re from the government and we’re here to help.”
I bet they can buy a tub of whip cream just not the gas loaded dispenser.
In NY you have to be 21 to buy a can of whipped cream, but a 3 year old can get a sex change. Makes sense.
Zero freedom in NY.
4 year olds are smart enough to choose their gender, then that’s adult enough to drink and use whipped cream to get high.
I certainly should be dead long ago of nitrous oxide as I have sprayed thousands of cans in to my mouth over my past 70 years. 😁
No it’s the Whippits, the Nitrous oxide....
Blanche Elizabeth Marie Hollingsworth-Devereaux, is looking down and cursing New York!
Just think what they’ll do when some Karen or Ken complains
to this guy’s office, about teenagers farting.
He’ll come up with a sure fire cure. Democrats always do.
And you will be required to show proof of two vaccine doses.
I had a friend in high school who took a job at the Howard Johnson, and used the empty cans for that purpose. I wonder if you have to be 21 to work at the ice cream parlour in NY state now?
His mother caught him doing something similar (and worse) with Dust-Off (Freon). She yelled “Why can’t you use pot like the rest of the kids?!”
Oh wow, tough on crime! You can decide to Kill your child if you’re underage and they’ll help you do it, behind everyone’s backs. You can decide if you’re mentally ill enough to mutilate your reproductive organs if you’re underage and they’ll help you do it behind everyone’s backs. But, getting high on a legal product, you need an adult to buy it.
These people are sick.
If you are in the northeast, you can do better than Hood. Cabot whipped cream is the best I have had in a store aerosol can.
Whip it
Whip it good
Fun fact: She was pregnant in that photo.
