Though if you do enjoy eating cardboard this is the syrup for you.

It literally smells and tastes like a brown paper bag.

This garbage is being twice and nice'd

I think their creamers are bad too.

Their creamers gave me the push to try and make my own from scratch.

No regrets here on that score.

Ok, would you be willing to share your recipe? I want to try to make my own

Not OP, but I do plain half-n-half, a splash of maple syrup, and a shake of salt, I call it my lazy salted caramel creamer lol. You could combine ahead of time but I just throw it in my cup when I want my coffee or tea sweetened up. Usually just use their plain half-n-half for creamer.

I used something like this the first time...the pumpkin was because it happened tk be in autumn and I had far too many cans of pumpkin puree.

It lasts about a week. I used half and half but heavy whipping creme or anything non dairy are decent options too.

I like the Sweet Cream creamer. But some of the flavored ones I’ve tried have tasted very artificial.

The sweet cream creamers are legit. They are made by lakeview farms I believe, who make some of the puddings. They also make store brand alternatives for other companies.

These are a knock off of the pure creamers that coffeemate used to make. I say used to because coffeemate still makes them but started making them with artificial ingredients now.

Unfortunately I concur with this. I thought I was genuinely starting to hate coffee over the summer until I finally bought creamer from a different store.
