It's the only hashing I'll use #CreamerNation #CreamPies #NSFWCreamyDongs

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 20 points 15 hours ago

There will be quite a few disappointed gooners.

This is the first time I've heard of creamer and everyone seems to be shitting on it.
I guess I haven't missed much.

Are there good ones? And do many people actually use this instead of milk?
Or is this just another one of those american culture things that us foreigners will never understand?

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 17 hours ago

Shit's terrible. If you like coffee with cream and sugar you can put this garbage in your cup and have a chemical stew that resembles cream, sugar and some sort of flavor like "french vanilla" (which isn't).

When I was in college one of my neighbors would light a candle on the porch and then sprinkle creamer on it. Made quite the fireball.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

I'm sitting here like "tf is a creamer?"

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Vegetable oil made to taste kinda like sweetened cream for coffee

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

It's "cream" that is mostly sugar and flavor other than cream. Most of them are also non-dairy, hence why the first cream is in quotes. The word "creamer" generally refers to the non-dairy cream substitutions for coffee.

You are selecting a very small and relatively recent subset of the category and using that to describe the entire category.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 26 minutes ago

There are two separate clauses in my statement. One refers to the kind shown in the image. The other is a general statement about the term "creamer."

Also: Recent? My dude, CoffeeMate has existed since the 60's.

I honestly thought they were holding a container of little chocolates before I read the comments

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 20 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Can 2 girls share 1 creamer?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Only if they get a new cup for it.

[–] blackris@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Now we are more in mousse territory. 😐

Get your throwing bagels ready.

Coffee creamer is bizarre. It makes everything you add it to taste sweet, oily and industrial yet it's so popular in some cultures that it's considered a no-brainer.

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 71 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sweet and oily is like 2/3 of an american's diet

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 22 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

How dare you. We also like salty and "cheese".

[–] Oaksey@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Since cheese is oily, when heated anyway, seems like they were on the money saying 2/3

[–] fartknocker@lemm.ee 1 points 26 minutes ago

I'm oily when heated too

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

NEW!
Coffee mate® Salty Cheez

[–] Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

Coffee mate Cheez wiz since companies seem to like to collaborate with their stuff. Doritos taco shells etc.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Excuse me but salty is just another part of the cheese pyramid

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 21 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I discovered creamer recently, I honestly don't get it. It tastes awful and why not use actual cream or milk in coffee than this thing ?

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Well, there are over 5 billion lactose intolerant people out there. Coffee creamers do typically include a very small amount of milk derivative, but it's not enough to make a difference if you don't have a dairy allergy.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Five billion? So the majority of people are lactose intolerant?

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. 60-70% are the estimate ranges I've seen.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Wow, I didn't think it was that widespread.

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

It tends to be geographic, so if you live in a region that's able to deal with lactose, you'd have the impression lactose intolerance isn't super common. But entire regions are lactose intolerant, like Southeast Asia (including China) and about half of India.

Basically anytime you see dairy as rare or non-existent in a region's traditional cuisine, that's why.

[–] StaticFalconar@lemmy.world 13 points 19 hours ago (1 children)
[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

So is milk powder and sugar.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Remaking cream from milk powder isn't much better than creamer.

Well I proudly proclaim myself to be a part of #CreamerNation. And on a completely unrelated offtopic note I love International Harvest.
