I have to admit that I don't know the level of sweetness of one brand
vs another and quite frankly I'm surprised that you, being so
vociferously anti-can, would know either. Whatever differences there
are can't be very much because I've never tasted it and made a
connection with candy. Frankly, unless it's for a group of people -
my attitude about whipping cream is similar to the way some people
here balk at using their food processor. The return isn't worth the
time involved it takes to make it and clean up, so if I wanted whipped
cream for myself or just the two of us - I'd buy a can. As it is, we
do without.
