Whipped cream is spelled with an H. That's probably the reason why Reddi Wip, a whipped cream product made by Conagra Brands, is often misspelled Reddi Whip. It's also probably the reason why some people claim that the so-called missing H in Reddi Wip is an example of the Mandela Effect. On Nov. 22, 2021, a video went viral on TikTok that supposedly showed a real-life example of the effect — a term used to describe a population's collective false memory — involving a can of Reddi Wip. The claim that this product used to be called Reddi Whip until there was some sort of glitch in the matrix — a timeline-altering event that resulted in similar changes, such as Sinbad's playing a genie in the movie Shazaam (not true) and the Berenstain Bears becoming the Berenstein Bears (also not true) — was not new to 2021. A number of people over the years have claimed that they distinctly remembered this product being called Reddi Whip. Reddi Wip has been called Reddi Wip since the product was first introduced in 1948. While newspapers, recipes, and even stores have erroneously inserted an H when writing about this product over the years (something that likely explains this faulty memory), the actual product has never been called Reddi Whip. Here's an advertisement for the product that was published in Life Magazine in 1949: The claim that Reddi-Wip used to be spelled with an h and that this is a it a real-life example of the Mandela Effect is likely based on people misremembering the spelling of this product due to the fact that whipped cream is commonly (and correctly) spelled with an h. When they remember Reddi-Whip, they appear to be combining an old memory with the knowledge of how to spell whipped. Regardless, the product Reddi-Wip has always been called spelled that way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynydNIgvxsUYou can read more about the Mandela Effect here or about the Shazaam movie starring actor Sinbad that never actually existed.
