National Whipped Cream Day has arrived. January 5 is the annual national day to celebrate whipped cream. After all those mouthwatering holiday foods and New Year’s resolutions to eat healthy, National Whipped Cream Day has arrived. I guess the New Year’s resolutions will just have to wait one more day to start!
Good to Know: Whipped cream was made as early as the 1500s. Aaron S. Lapin invented Reddi-Wip in the mid 1900s.
