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

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.

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.

Vegetable oil made to taste kinda like sweetened cream for coffee
