Angel Delight is chemically different than whipped dessert toppings(I am familiar with other products of Bird's in the familiar red yellow blue can , having English in-laws).
According to Wikipedia, Bird's products are, generally, more of a cornstarch product that forms an interesting gel. I haven't tried it, but if you fill a bowl with Bird's it should stiffen on impact (e.g. hitting it with a spatula), while Reddi-Whip and CoolWhip will disperse widely. (an experiment for this weekend.. although I don't know if I can get Angel Delight.. the regular custard mix will have to do) There are also fast mousse recipes using a mixture of some liquid and gelatin that is foamed and cooled. One could probably do an interesting version with liquid (unset) Jello(r) and liquid nitrogen. I leave it to others on the list to numerically model this very interesting non-Newtonian fluid. It's a very complex behavior to model.

I was brought up on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Delight The Wikipedia page has no figure for its thermal conductivity. However it is available in several rather nice flavours, each appropriate for different sizes of cluster.
