Coffee creamer? But where’s the cream?

Hmmmmm…the name actually is fitting “Coffee-mate” because there is no cream in there.  But they do put ‘coffee creamer’ in little print next to it.  But really, this shouldn’t be a mate to your coffee, I actually don’t know what this should be a mate to!  LOL!  Here is a picture of the ingredients:

What do you put in your coffee??
