Back in the days when I was still making a fool of myself (pun deliberate) in front of audiences and cameras, I did a t.v. commercial for Cool Whip. It was supposed to be late at night. I was dressed in a bathrobe with spoon in hand and an eager expression on my face, revealed when I opened the refrigerator door--the camera was set where the back of the appliance should have been. There was a dish on the top shelf with a large mound of Cool Whip on top. I took a heaping spoonful, put it in my mouth, swooned, and closed the door. I'm not sure why--the lighting or something--but many, many takes were required. Probably because the director wanted the client to believe that the huge fees involved were justified. I could have managed a take or two, but we kept going and going--twenty takes or more-- and I spat the artificial vanilla-flavored goo into a towel after every "Cut!" was called. It took considerable acting skill to look like I was enjoying it. I've never knowingly eaten Cool Whip since that day.

Hahaha! What you went through in the line of duty! Flavoured Cool Whip is one thing. But undiluted spoonfuls??
