I'm with bakermommy4 ... actually I thought I WAS the google queen. The other night I googled "how much sodium in a pinch of salt?" I never got an answer to that specific question, but I did learn how much sodium is in a teaspoon of salt AND a lot of sites telling me how bad salt is for me. icon_smile.gif

I realize that I sometimes post questions that have already been asked and answered, but I have a hard time with CC's search. I don't have time to go through all 734 pages of a thread (or 734 different threads) to find where my answer is hiding. Maybe I'm doing something wrong ... maybe someone could do a tutorial on how to use the CakeCentral Search. I spend the majority of my day online and I know how to search, but I have problems searching here. Therefore, sometimes I just ask the question again.

I do stop and think before posting a question that I know has been asked before. I hate to waste people's time and I am not doing it because I'm too lazy to look or too computer illiterate to do a search. I'm doing it because I searched and I did not find ... and I know that someone on CC has the answer for me and will be gracious enough to tell me what to do.

BTW, bakermommy4, did you find the Dream Whip? icon_biggrin.gif

This is just too funny. I like many don't always answer because I feel like I won't answer good enough and that someone will post a better answer than mine.

Mbt...I found the dream whip on amazon and some other site, cant remember the name. But overall I've learned that in order to get it I would have to order it and have it shipped to me...and that sucks because I can only get it in bulk. I just want to try it out, dont wanna have 25lbs of it laying around.

Why don't you start a new thread ... Dream Whip in Vegas - has anyone found it???? See what happens. Maybe someone on CC will know where you can find it without having to order. 25 pounds - I use it in almost all of my buttercream, but that is a LOT of Dream Whip. icon_smile.gif

Good luck!! thumbs_up.gif

I bet you already looked but just on the miniscule chance that someone didn't... Dream whip is on the shelf above the jello and pudding mixes right next to the Knox and no bake cheese cake box mixes in my regular grocery stores in my area. I hope you guys find it. icon_smile.gif

I did a quick look, but maybe I still missed it. Have you tried Walmart for Dream Whip? Every Super Walmart I've been in has it right there by the jello.

Also, I've found that many grocery stores are willing to order an item and begin to stock it, when approached about it.

FOUND IT!!! Thanks to mbt...I snapped out of my my "dumb blonde" syndrome (no offense to any blondes here) and checked walmart and there it was...it even had a little glow around the box like it was from the heavens...or like it had been there all along and I just overlooked it like always....thanks everyone so much!!

I love the "little glow." We need to let indydebi in on this one. Dream Whip sent straight from heaven to bakermommy4! icon_biggrin.gif
