Let me just quickly reply that very early in my life I figured out that most of the whipped toppings I was eating were not real whipped cream, so the knowledge that I was eating whipped, sweetened shortening has been in my head for 45 to 50 years. I am loath to mention a brand name such as Cool Whip, especially one that I don't eat and wouldn't recommend. (You'll also find a ton of shortening in frostings.)
Regarding iambic meter, it isn't uncommon for a line to start or end with a variant foot (such as a trochee or headless iamb at the start, or an extra-metrical syllable at the end), so I tend to look at the middle of a line to determine whether it is iambic, especially lines of free verse which don't have a standard length.
