Whip-ets are cartridges of compressed nitrous oxide (laughing gas) in the shape of carbon dioxide BB rifle charges.

In days of old (and still done today) whipped cream like you would get from a Reddi-Wip can is dispensed from a whipped cream dispenser. (Switch the container to use carbon dioxide cartridges and water and you have a seltzer water dispenser.) They're normally seen only at gourmet kitchen equipment sections of upscale department stores, as the prepressurized Reddi-Wip cans eventually evicted it from the home. (Reddi-Wip used to be pressurized with N2O but I think they replaced it with purified compressed air.)

The N2O used in the Whip-ets cartridge has a faintly sweet odor and taste; if I remember correctly nitrous oxide is odorless and tasteless. I oughta know... back in my younger days as an undergrad, it was a cheap - and dangerous - legal way to get high.

Under controlled conditions, it's a well known dental anesthetic and also used to supercharge a car's performance. In uncontrolled conditions, too much of a hit of N2O may cause unconsciousness or even death.

Every restaurant I've ever worked in I've had this experience - I go to the fridge to pull out a can of whipped cream for the dessert I'm serving, and, even though it's a full can, the whipped cream won't come out 'cause there's no N2O or whatever to make it come out! All the kitchen boys sit back there and try to get high off the cans of whipped cream...which of course wastes the entire can and pisses the servers off 'cause then they can't do their jobs. It's pathetic, really...to have to try to get a 2-minute high off something that comes out of a can. But hey, whatever makes you happy.

MrsMcCartney 04-14-2004 11:17 AM

Yeah Reddi-wip used to have a whip-it in it. I remember doing it at a party once when I was in 10th grade. I felt totally dizzed-out but totally energized at the same time, and I ended up running at full blast all the way down the block and back. Bizarre, the things we do in High School.

mu_agd 04-14-2004 11:25 AM

we sold those at williams-sonoma when i worked there one summer since we sold the whip cream dispenser thing. the managers were so strict about making sure we carded people when they wanted to buy those. and we didn't keep them on the shelves, they were kept out back in the stock room and people would have to ask if we sold them.

norcalchick 04-14-2004 10:13 PM

the thing about whip its is that when your doing them, you get this "whomp whomp whomp" echo sound. and you can't feel things. like if someone hit you, you can't feel it. and your body feels heavy. you also can't get any higher off those. so that weird feeling you get is the highest you'll be, but you keep that feeling by continuously inhaling it. the "high" of one inhale last about 30 seconds, if that. but people will get those huge ballons and fill them up with whip its and they just pass it back and forth. but it's like a freakin drug, as soon as it starts getting to the last bit, people are like, your taking too much or something like that and afterwards you just feel a lil wierd and youwant more. but it is bad for you, it just fries your brain, killing barin cells and other stuff. and if you go to "smoke shops" that sell them, you can't ask for "nitrous", you have to ask for "whip its" or they'll kick you out. you know how they would be like the pipes are for "tobacco" so when people start talking about marijuana and stuff, they get the boot. anyway, i don't recommend whip its.

lol...sounds like you've rolled a lot. At the smokes shops i've been to, you have to ask for isi charges. In flroida they made a law against them and when you buy them you must sign a waiver saying you wont misuse them. And as far as getting more high...well, have you ever tried putting two whipits in the cracker at one time? It's much stronger than hitting just one. Most people i know that do them use them when they're coming down off of coke or rolling. For some reason the come down isnt as bad as opposed to not having them around when coming down.

How does it sound like she rolled a lot? I didn't see any reference to pills in her post.

I went to a local house party a while ago & one of the boys there kept buying me whip-its from the guy who was selling them. He kept bringing me these balloons & I kept telling him that I didn't want them. He ended up doing them all himself & he eventually fell over into the concrete ground & broke his nose. Thats what he gets for doing them. :(

Yea, that can happen. Thats when you know you're pressing the limits of the gas a lil too far.




p.s. trust me on this one, anyone who has that much extensive knowledge about whipits...they've rolled more than once.

FAB*SpiceySpice 04-15-2004 06:49 PM

This reminds of these guys in high school that used to get high off of the aerosol cans of dust cleaner for a computer keyboard. They'd take a pen and stick it in the side to apply pressure and then inhale. It was the WEIRDEST thing I have ever seen. I let one guy borrow a pink sparkly gel pen to use and he ended up breaking it and got the pink ink all over his mouth and braces. He was so out of it though that he didn't notice, it was disgusting. :rolleyes:

norcalchick 04-16-2004 06:47 PM

yeah, i had my fair share of them :rolleyes: that's why i know that they aren't good for you.

I agree with you completely on this. You just don't know too much detail about those things unless you've had experience with certain other things.

Actually, this is entirely untrue. But for some who may not be educated in this area would be sure to have misconceptions. I know plenty about illegal drugs because I'm part of SafeBass-we help kids @ parties & nightclubs if they have taken drugs as well as distribute information on what drugs are/what they do to you/long-term effects to your brain & body (as well as your emotional health) & even information about STD's & safe sex.
Just because a person couldn't understand how someone would know too much detail about "these things" w/out having experiences w/ "certain other things" doesn't mean that it couldn't happen.

I would suggest looking for your local Dance Safe chapter for more information on "these things."

I realize that you are correct... my post wasn't taking into account all people, and I apologize for the error.

Wow, in-depth discussion about Greeks using drugs.

Real smart.

And we wonder why people think Greeks are bad.

I think you missed the entire point of my previous post. I would re-read it for a full understanding. Also, I don't mean Greek parties-I mean raves.

PM_Mama00 04-17-2004 02:10 PM

No what you're doing is good.

What everyone else is doing by bragging about doing drugs... wow I wish I could be so cool.

norcalchick 04-17-2004 09:19 PM
