So I have tried not-heavy soy whipping cream (Alli could find without making an extra trip from one grocery store to walmart), and had an... Interesting experience.
As has been stated, MAN whipping cream is sweet!... and hard to chug without gagging a little! This actually gave me the idea to use it as substitute for the soy milk in my smoothies. And at 30cal per serving and 63 servings per ~1000ml bottle (which so happens to be the same amount of soy milk I use in each smoothie), it made for an approximately 4800cal smoothie! The only thing is... I could only drink half of it. Not that it was too sweet or thick for me to drink, I'm pretty comfortable with that stuff. What happened was my toes and other parts of my body started to feel a little tense and mysteriously painful (I could not easily replicate any discomfort I felt after I felt it).
Thankfully that only lasted the rest of the day, but I half expected to experience extra heat in the core of my belly. I remember when I first started gaining that's what I felt, which at the time I thought was my body activating fat storage for practically the first time ever (I had almost no fat before, so I was very green to what gaining felt like). With how heavy cream is described to help burn belly fat, I thought I'd feel that again, but I didn't. So I'm likely wrong about my assumptions or my cashew-rich smoothies already managed my visceral fat. I am mostly subcutaneous fat right now anyways.
I still have the other half of that smoothie I made with the bottle of whipping cream. I'm slowly going through it, adding it to my regular smoothies. It's a pretty nice flavor to add! I might use heavier cream (in moderation) to bring out the flavor in the future.

That wasn't heavy cream. Heavy cream isn't even remotely sweet. Heavy cream has 3470.16 calories per liter and what you described has 1890 calories per liter. Whatever you drank seems to have gotten most of its calories from sugar. When you consumed it, your blood sugar levels probably spiked really high. High blood sugar messes with nerves and can cause painful tingly sensations. If you read up on diabetic neuropathy, you'd probably find it describes the sensation you had. Obviously you don't have that though since you experienced that due to eating loads of sugar, not from having diabetes. What was the brand/product you used.

You are correct, I did not have heavy whipping cream, as I had initially stated. I was confident there would be a difference between whipping cream and *heavy,* but I wasn't sure how much. Definitely worth experimenting with it until I can find some dairy free heavy cream. All I could find was the SO Delicious beans of not-heavy whipping cream. And yes, while it has quite a bit of saturated and unsaturated fats, it's primarily sugar. Definitely curious what the experiential differences are between the two. Though, still, I'll probably do things half as heavily (or less) when I find heavy cream in stock.

I just gotta make sure I don't accidentally grab creamer again!
