A nearly year-old New York state law that bans the sale of whipped cream to people under the age of 21 is coming into effect, according to local news reports.

NBC New York reported earlier this month that convenience stores and grocery chains around the state had begun installing signs warning that clerks would begin IDing individuals when they purchased cans of the whipped dessert.
