yes it is!
i think this goes along with those of us who can taste Spenda
& find it revolting. *most* people apparently can't tell if
Splenda has been substituted for sugar in a recipe.
Cool Whip is the same. apparently most of you out there don't
find it thick, greasy & revolting. good for you. just don't
ruin *my* good food with it.

i drink my coffee light, but if all there is is non-dairy
creamer (powder or liquid) i'll drink it black. why ruin good
coffee?

it's a texture aversion, i bet. Julie, do you have any other
sensory things that drive you crazy, like clothing tags, sock
toe seams, flickering florescent bulds (that no one else
sees)?

What about disliking Cool Whip makes someone a snob?!? Food preferences
are a matter of taste, and everyone's tastes differ. Lots of people
don't like edible oil products, be it Cool Whip or CoffeeMate or any of
the other varieties of that kind of thing; doesn't make them snobs.

I do, because my coffee is strong enough to stand up to just about
anything I throw at it.

Taking your personal preference and then dictating what the rest of
the world should or should not like is being a food snob. Most of the
nay sayers so far have said basically this: "I don't like it - it
doesn't matter that I've never tried it, I still don't like it.
Anyone who doesn't agree with me is just an advertising driven, big
box shopping sheep, you stupid American."

Of course, I don't agree with those sentiments. I probably eat far
less Cool Whip than those who are denigrating it, yet I'm always
surprised by how close it is to real whipped cream in taste and
texture. I can't speak about pudding of any kind. I'm not a big ice
cream eater either. One or two scoops a year is about my speed and
I'm satisfied with Thrifty ice cream.

Coffee creamers are for emergencies and again, I don't think it ruins
*decent* coffee. However, I know from personal experience of ordering
coffee in other parts of the country and the world that most people
don't drink the quality of coffee brewed at the strength I brew mine.
You'd have to pour milk into mine to ruin it. Keep milk far, far away
from my coffee, all it does is dilute it and turn it gray. I want
something thicker and richer, so I prefer coffee creamer over milk.
If I don't have any creamer, I'll do without coffee until I have the
real thing.

Can one be a food snob without "dictating what the rest of
the world should or should not like"?

You'd be in the minority here, if you actually refrained from

To me, Cool Whip doesn't remotely resemble whipped cream, but obviously
YMMV.

I like ice cream very much, but since I generally only eat plain vanilla
or plain chocolate, I don't like the kinds with gums and stabilizers in
them because to me they taste funny, which means I'm pretty much limited
to Haagen Daz. (I'm in Ontario, and we don't get all the same ice cream
brands you Americans do.)

I don't drink coffee at all (never acquired a taste for it), so really
have no opinion about creamers. I drink tea, and use milk in it.

I cant stand, simply abhor, okra and olive oil. Some body once made
okra fried in olive oil and served it to me, the very look & smell of it
made me nauseous.

Funny -- I love okra right from the garden, sliced and immediately put in a
fry pan with olive oil.

Sometimes I like a little soy sauce (shoyu) poured on it, and put in a bowl
of rice. (In that case, one could use coconut oil for frying, if wanted.)

I thought I'd introduce 6 year old GS over to brussels sprouts by oven
roasting them with extra virgin olive oil and garlic. He wasn't
impressed. I finally gave him a dipping bowl of soy to dunk it in.
He took a bite, and with a startled look on his face pronounced it
"tasty"! Kids.

not at all. sensory sensitivities have nothing to do with
psychoanalysis. it's something one is born with. if you aren't
one, fine, but there are people that have sensory issues.

I agree, but flickering florescent bulbs that no one else 'sees'? That
didn't seem to fit; I guess that was a new one to me in the sensory
department -- I was thinking the list was leaning more along the Freudian
avenue.

I do understand that there is quite a difference in sensory perception than
being 'crazy.' Too bad more physicans don't realize this. And more
every-day folks.

My mom had them, with lots of foods. The texture of onion
and garlic, salad dressings, eggs. One of her grandchildren also
has them.

I can't stand styrofoam, the backs of my nails on newspaper,
other stuff.

there are also more ways to deal with sensory issues than decreeing
that no one should eat what you don't like.

yeah, i get teased a *lot* about the lights. those Christmas
LEDs are so obviously flickering to me, but the only other
person in the house that 'sees' that is my 7 year old, and he
says they only flicker a little.
i had a computer monitor that i could see lines moving from
top to bottom (scrolling). drove me crazy, but no one else
could see it, so i bought a new monitor & gave the scrolling
one to my housemate.
i think it's funny, in a slightly annoying way. i used to
have hyperacute hearing too, but age & tinitus has messed that
up.

Yes. I have lots of problems like that. Very picky about my socks and have
trouble in some big dept. stores because of the lighting.

I was told I have Fibromyalgia. Not sure if I really have that or not. And
growing up, my parents called me "The Pea Princess" from that story, "The
Princess and the Pea". They said if they were to put a pea under my
mattress, I would be able to feel it. And I think I could. This has only
gotten worse over the years.

As a child, I would not wear jeans or any kind of pants that didn't have an
elastic waistband to them. Actually we didn't wear many pants in those days
since girls had to wear dresses to school. Some of my dresses had stiff,
net slips underneath them. I hated those. Also hated wool and fishnet
stockings.

I also have visual troubles. Looking at spinning things makes me very
dizzy. I can't ride any carnival type rides. They make me very sick. And
I hate riding in the front seat of vehicle. I'm okay as the driver, except
that I can't drive for much over 20 minutes or I get really sleepy. If I'm
the passenger, I tend to get carsick.

I had a monitor that drove me nuts. Nobody else could see what I was
seeing.

I don't much like styrofoam. I don't mind a plate of bowl made of it, but
can't drink out of a cup made of it. And I HATE those wooden spoons they
give you with ice cream.

At first I couldn't figure out what you meant, then I remembered those
little paddle things that come with individual cheapo ice cream cups
at the corner store.

Yep, those are the ones. We used to call them "Dixie Cups". Some of those
cups of ice cream were also "sundaes" containing a blob of chocolate or
strawberry on top of the ice cream.
