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.”
Democratic state Sen. Joseph Addabbo first proposed the legislation in 2019 after receiving numerous complaints in his Long Island district.

My leftist brother in law’s son died from huffing an aerosol can. He was over 30. Guess they need to raise the age.
Came for the Herb Alpert cover, goes away happy.
The law went into effect because too many kids were getting high off the nitrous gas used a propellant aka whippets. I guess NYS has not gotten rid of the old law. Most of the north eastern states had the law too.
If I remember most of the normal cans of whip cream don’t use nitrous any more but professional cooking systems where the chef makes the cream and loads the stainless bottle and charges the container with the gas still does.
A head shop I knew of sold the nitrous cartridge in a 20 pack as they are a for pastry making. Laughed when I saw it but never used.

Me: Since voting is "adults only" do you have to show ID for it too?
Every Democrat in the country: What? That's crazy talk. Now stop it before we lock you up for saying it.
Our state legislature has way too much time on its hands.
> Fun fact: She was pregnant in that photo. <
I had nothing to do with that. Honestly! I’m just saying I liked the cover.
Three months pregnant in fact. And they used shaving cream since whipped cream would have melted too quickly under the photography studio lights.
Yeah, yeah - that’s what they ALL say...
“Fun fact: She was pregnant in that photo.“
Interesting trivia, after examining the photo, I can see why. Lucky guy.
The album cover is seen briefly in the movie The Big Lebowski when the Dude is looking through Maude’s record collection. It is also seen in The Boondock Saints when Rocco frantically gathers his possessions after killing three associates in a diner. It is seen among other period albums early in The Honeymoon Killers, and can also be spotted in the living room of the Weir household in multiple episodes of Freaks and Geeks.
Lol!
I own a copy of that album.
Hey, we might be Frat bros....
Boy did we have fun with that stuff....lol.
So did the gals...
It makes me sad that folks are so stupid to do that.
Now that sounds like a very VERY high class name.
Some rich, single, blond with an ‘e’, high maintenance woman. Always overdressed. Wears her rubies to Yoga Class.
That song is great!
But you don’t have to be 21 to fill a cart with canned whipped cream and pistol whip the clerk on the way out with it.
“Fun fact: She was pregnant in that photo.”
Is that just trivia, or is she someone I might recognize if she wasn’t covered in shaving cream?
I have that album cover. And the album.
Thanks, Mom and Dad! :)
