What Do You Do With Your Dream Whip?

Just wanting to get some ideas...
What do you use Dream Whip for??
I had a flashback of Dream Whip from when I was a kid. I remembered a blue-like box. My husband (older than me) thought I was crazy for thinking of whipped topping in a box. He didn't know anything about it. I was afraid it was a thing of the past, but I FOUND SOME! I guess they (Mom and aunts) must've used it as whipped topping for pumpkin pie or something.
What all can it be used for? How do you use it?
Any way to incorporate this into icings would be most helpful!
Thanks!
When I took a cake dec class many years ago my instructor who was in her 70's said to use several tablespoons of Dream whip in your bc icing when it is humid out. I will look for the recipe and try to post it for you. I have used it to make some jello fluff recipes...
sundine, your prof had the right idea. thing is, you can add cornstarch to your BC or cream cheese icing for the same result. the flavor, be it orange, maple, caramel, vanilla, or anything else, is the predominant flavor of the icing.
after all, confectioners' sugar is comprised of powdered sugar and up to 3% cornstarch. me, personally, i like the way cornstarch enhances fruit flavor, and i sure as heck can't taste it in my regular vanilla flavored buttercream!
forgot to say that cornstarch is no substitute for keeping your iced cake in the freezer for half and hour or so. thing is, when it's hot and humid, or even cool and humid, you need some sort of agent to stiffen the icing. i go with cornstarch.
by the way, did i remember to mention cornstarch? 
Ok, now I'm interested. Veejaytx, you add Dream Whip to your cake batter. Any particular flavor (cake) or any and all? Do you add the entire pkg (bag) or part? And to what quantity of batter is this bag added? I would love to do this tomorrow AM. Need a cake for dinner and it would be fun to try something different. Thank you in advance.
