Sorry kids, it looks like you won’t be able to buy whipping cream any time soon. What a bummer, so alcohol and no whipped cream. Tragic. What else are they gonna take away from these minors? Cigarettes?

Apparently, there is a new state law that bans sales of whipped cream to anyone under the age of 21. The age limit was actually enacted back in November of last year, BUT people are just noticing it now. Mostly because several stores are putting up hilarious signs now.
Not 21? Too Bad, No Whipped Cream For You
So why was the law created? Well, in order to try and help deter teenagers from inhaling nitrous oxide or laughing gas to get high. Which yes, is found in whipped cream cans. “This new law is an important step in combating a significant problem for many neighborhoods throughout my district,” stated New York State Sen. Joseph Addabbo.
“The need to limit the access and sale of whippits first became apparent after receiving constituent complaints about empty canisters on neighborhood streets. Used whippets piling up in our communities are not only an eye sore, but also indicative of a significant nitrous oxide abuse problem.”
Twitter Reacts to Whipped Cream Laws
He also went on to note that it can be lethal when people use it improperly. “Sadly, young people buy and inhale this gas to get ‘high’ because they mistakenly believe it is a ‘safe’ substance. This law will eliminate easy access to this dangerous substance for our youth,” he noted.
As expected, the internet is going bonkers and the reactions have been pretty funny. One user tweeted, “Can someone in the Syracuse area buy me whipped cream:( ill cashapp you lmao my peach cobbler isn’t the same without it😭😭–> how I imagine minors in New York are feeling rn.”
Another one noted, “they really made whipped cream cans illegal to purchase to those under 21 in New York 😭 like be serious there’s so many other crises we gotta deal wit.”
It’s a wild wild world out there, man.
