Hot Slut Of The Day!

In honor of all the Canadians who will come dangerously close to crashing their pancreas and liver function during Thanksgiving Dinner, Michael has graciously let me take over Hot Slut today. And of course I chose Canadian Thanksgiving dinner’s unsung hero, Gay Lea whipped cream.

Today is Canada’s Thanksgiving, which is basically American Thanksgiving that comes too early and is way more casual. We share all the same foods, like turkey and stuffing and potatoes. But there’s one tradition that will stand out on a Canadian Thanksgiving table if you live in the province of Ontario or the surrounding areas, and that’s Gay Lea-brand canned aerosol whipped cream.

I don’t know who Lea is and I’m also not sure I’ve ever actually bought a can of her whipped cream from the store. But Gay Lea is so common. She just magically shows up next to the mustard and soy sauce on your fridge door the night before Thanksgiving.

Gay Lea has been around since 1958, and yet sadly I can’t find a single commercial, vintage ad, or portrait in the National Gallery featuring their delicious cream. Is that any way to honor a legend?

Of course, some people make their own Thanksgiving whipped cream from natural ingredients, like cream and sugar. But so does Gay Lea! They just happen to also add an extra dash of sass that makes it taste like pure butter and never seems to expire. You’ll have it in your fridge until American Thanksgiving rolls around. Plus, Gay Lea whipped cream makes an excelled second meal. Just squirt some into an open tin of E.D. Smith pumpkin pie filling (another canned Canadian Thanksgiving star), and scrape out as much as your lack dignity will allow.
