Galaxy Gas is an American culinary brand which produces flavored whipped-cream chargers and dispensers containing nitrous oxide.
[3] Despite their dispensers being advertised for culinary use such as whipping ingredients,[1] Galaxy Gas gained notoriety through social media in 2024 due to their products being misused as a recreational nitrous oxide inhalant to get high,[4][1] with the inhalation of their canisters gaining popularity as a TikTok trend;[5][6][7] the platform has since blocked "Galaxy Gas" as a search result.
[4][8] Galaxy Gas canisters have been sold through major retailers including Walmart and Amazon, allowing for the product to be easily accessible to consumers regardless of their age.
[3] The company has responded to the misuse of their dispensers through releasing statements warning consumers of the health risks resulted from misusing their product, additionally claiming that their products are solely intended for culinary use.
A Galaxy Gas spokesperson responded that the appearance and incorporation of flavor is due to marketing towards an adult demographic who use it to produce whipped cream based personal lubricants.
