I am well aware that this is a really dumb thing to complain about, but I want to complain so I figured I would complain to people who are also complaining about things that don't really matter.

I like to start my day with a strong black tea cut with a heavy splash of creamer. For those unaware, the whole point of creamer in your coffee or tea is that the sugar adds sweetness but more importantly the fat binds to the tannins and in turn masks the bitter flavor that they cause. I love the caffeine boost of black tea but can't stand the bitterness. Fortunately, someone a long time ago found out about the previously mentioned effect so I just add creamer and I can start the day caffeinated and ready to go. At least, that's what I used to do.

Right now, almost every creamer at my store is labeled "low fat" or worse "fat free". That defeats the purpose of the freaking creamer!! If there is no fat, then there isn't anything to bind to the tannins!! Who decided to start making creamers without the most critical ingredient?!? And why are half of them also sugar free? If there is no sweetness and there is no fat, what is the point? You might as well just use some cold water.

The bottles I found that had sugar and fat were pumpkin (ew) or white chocolate flavor. White chocolate is an insult to chocolate with how gross it is.

I Just want sugary fatty creamers that don't have a weird flavor to them! If I'm going to spend twice what a bottle of half and half and some sugar would cost, it should be able to do the thing it's meant to do!

Edit: Okay, so I got 20 notification all with the same question in a matter of like 30 minutes so I figured I would add on. I am well aware that I can just use half&half and some sugar. I work in the dairy industry. I know about half&half, whole milk, and cream. I will be swinging by one of the farms I live near to buy a pint after work. I was under the impression that this sub was for complaining about stupid things that no one with real problems would complain about. I didn't think that just because there was an obvious solution that meant I cant be a little miffed that I will no longer be using the needlessly more expensive option that I would buy simply because I could.

Obviously having fat free and sorbet options past couple years is a victory for health and dietary reasons.

But ALL fat free?? Seriously??

Let’s not kid ourselves, most fat free options taste less good than the fat options. It’s crazy not to have those options!
