What house products contain nitrous oxide? i've heard ther's an association between whipped cream and nitrous oxide that is not very clear to me, so i was wondering how could i get high with a whipped cream can, assuming that whipped cream cans in Colombia have the same ingredients as the cans in the UK and the states.

Many cans of whipped cream use nitrous oxide to propel the cream. If you let a bottle sit upright and then gently press on the tip, the nitrous oxide at the top of the can will spill out.
