We can already feel the debate brewing on this Hack or Wack—we had one ourselves after testing it a few times. Technically, if you shake hard enough, long enough, you will turn heavy cream into whipped cream (and if you shake too long, you'll get butter), but is it really a hack if it takes more effort than using an electric mixer? We say no.

A hack, by definition, should make life easier, and unless you're going camping and forgot to pack Cool Whip—yet somehow remembered heavy cream and a mason jar packed in ice—this really isn't going to improve your life.

Well, it could improve your life if you replace your Shake Weight with it and decide to make whipped cream every morning as part of your workout routine—and then you have a delicious post-workout snack...which will offset any calories burned. So, basically, you're back where you started.
