When did Neilson Dairy Start Putting So Much Crap Into their Cream?

Today is Adam's Birthday.  He is turning 37!  For his Birthday he wants a Black Forest Cake.  I usually buy my cream at a local farm, but I didn't have enough cream to make the whipped cream for his cake so I went to my local health food store, no whipping cream and my local grocery store didn't have any organic whipping cream.  Since I didn't feel like driving into the next town to get some I just bought a carton of Neilson Fresh Whipping Cream instead.  Silly me didn't read the ingredients until I was actually whipping the cream.

Ingredients:  Cream, milk, skim milk powder, dextrose, carrageenan, mono and diglycerides, cellulose gum, polysorbate 80, sodium citrate.

WTF!!!

Am I that old that I actually remember cream containing one ingredient, cream!  When did they start putting all that crap into cream?  I certainly won't be buying that ever again.

The irony of me writing a post about remembering to read food labels just a few days ago is not lost on me today.  I have learned my lesson for sure.

Now who wants cake?
