"Creamer Nation" does sound like a porn site from the 2000's specialized in creampies...

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 7 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

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

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 23 points 1 day 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 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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).

[–] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

I like making some with evaporated milk, condensed milk, heavy cream and vanilla extract. splash some in to your liking

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

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

Vegetable oil made to taste kinda like sweetened cream for coffee

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 13 hours 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

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.

[–] Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 100 points 1 day ago (12 children)

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.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

For anyone wondering about transatlantic definitions: US Heavy Cream is 38%, UK Double Cream 48% US “Half and half” is 12%, UK Single Cream 18%

They can basically be used interchangeably.

Milk is also basically the same, UK Semi-skimmed is 1.7%, so (obviously) closer to 2%.

Good coffee is good black

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

[–] Empricorn 25 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

"cheese"

call it what u want, i want it coursing through my veins

[–] Oaksey@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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 13 hours ago

I'm oily when heated too

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

NEW!
Coffee mate® Salty Cheez

[–] Itsamelemmy@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago

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 22 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 3 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Almost all adults develop some level of lactose intolerance as they age.

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 2 points 17 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.

So is milk powder and sugar.

Can 2 girls share 1 creamer?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only if they get a new cup for it.

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

Now we are more in mousse territory. 😐

[–] AngryishHumanoid@reddthat.com 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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