Shortening is just gross.

Also I bought a whoopie pie from the grocery store that looked amazing but it tasted strong like plastic bc it was wrapped tight in Saran Wrap for who knows how long. That was vile and put me off whoopie pies for quite a bit

I’ve had this happen so much! I think some stores use a kind of plastic wrap that makes everything taste like plastic. I’ve gone to my local store and gotten whoopie pies that were baked the morning before, but they tasted exactly like the plastic wrap they were stored in. Same with muffins, croissants, literally anything they wrapped in that disgusting plastic wrap tasted bad.

If food is wrapped while warm it will tend to heat up the plastic and transfer the plastic taste into the food. Truly revolting.
