    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?

      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.

      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).

        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.
