Dad Conducts Science Experiment To Find Best Angle For Spraying Whipped Cream

Turns out there is a wrong way to spray whipped cream.

We just found the world's greatest dad. We thought we had located him when we came across the dad who made Spirograph pancakes for his kids, but we were wrong. The world's greatest dad is the guy who somehow made a science experiment out of topping a sundae with mountains of whipped cream. That's the guy who earns this title -- he also happens to be our personal hero.

His name is Rob Cockerham and his blog is Cockeyed.com. Rob designed a science experiment for his two kids with the aim of finding the best angle to spray a can of whipped cream. We didn't realize we needed this information, but it turns out we did. Never, ever spray whipped cream with the can on its side, parallel to the pancakes -- you will be disappointed. But don't take our word for it, let the video documentation of the experiment show you the light.

Watch as his daughter begins the experiment.

Whoops, take two.

See?? Greatest. Dad. Ever. If that didn't convince you, maybe the quest he takes with his kids in search for the best banana split will.
