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?
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.
