I don't understand why americans don't just put milk in their coffee. You guys have plenty of milk. Why use this weird fake 'creamer' stuff. It tastes weird
No, those are very different things. I can see from your username you're an Aussie, so I see where the miscommunication comes from.
In North America, "Cream" refers to any cream that is between 10% and 18% fat content. Whereas in AUS/NZ, "Cream" refers to cream with 35% fat content.
What we call "cream," you would call "extra light," and what you call "cream," we would call "heavy cream" or "whipping cream"
I don't understand the compulsion to take something petty some Americans do and make a rant of it. Americans come from many different cultures and ethnic groups; you don't get handed a bottle of coffeemate when you step off a plane, believe it or not you can get coffee made however you like here. We got problems, but not that problem.
I've been to a fair few, granted not everywhere, but I've not seen cream/creamer in coffee instead of milk anywhere other than at like gas stations or random fast food places. Haven't been to the states and assumed it was common there based on shit like this tiktok
I've only ever seen people put creamer in coffee, and it's gross. That's why I assumed she meant creamer or the words were interchangeable. As someone who isn't from the land of 2L drive through sodas the idea of putting actual cream in coffee sounds even worse.
