I don't know. But I thought half and half meant 50% cream. How can that be fat free?

I never use it, but it’s pretty popular. I don’t see why people don’t just go for regular heavy cream

it's IMO the perfect addition to coffee, richer than milk but not overly so. just a splash or so in some iced coffee is the best

>>12514291
No idea

>>12514293
It's 50% cream with the fat removed. How is that hard to understand?

>>12514291
Because it has an American on the container.

I got confused by this and googled "fat free cream" to realign myself and all the results are about this exact product. BRB, just deleting my internet and creating a new identity.

What exactly are you asking?

>>12514422
Why is Half and half more popular in the US than regular cream? Not really common here in Europe.

>>12514422
In USA you have at least five gradations of a milk's cream content. How is this marketable.

I guess most people think regular cream is too heavy to be added to coffee or tea, which is mostly what half and half is used for. Cream is used more for making sauces or desserts.

>>12514483
Nobody else in the world adds cream to coffee, though. We only know about people who like cream in their coffee from American television, and it sounds truly bizarre.

What the fuck is that, first of all

>What are the ingredients in fat free half and half? In all three fat free versions – Darigold, Hood and Land ‘O Lakes – the first listed ingredient is skim milk. For two out of the three, the next ingredient is corn syrup. (In Darigold, regular milk is listed second and corn syrup third.) All three list carrageenan and color. Land ‘O Lakes lists the color as simply that, while the other two list it as “artificial color,” They also list various other chemicals. Those chemicals include Vitamin A Palmitate, a synthetic vitamin with a stabilizer that replaces the natural Vitamin A lost in the process of making the milk nonfat.

Have you tried it?

>>12514511
My grandmother was born and raised in Scotland, and had heavy cream in her coffee every day.
She lived into her late 90s.

Imagine being such a fat Amerilard that you actually add cream to your coffee.

>>12514511
Bongs add cream to tea which is even worse than adding it to coffee.

>>12514296
Because it tastes different and has a different texture

Because a good goy doesn't need real food. Enjoy your fat free 50% cream!

Because retards still think fat is bad for you. That shit is filled with corn syrup. The good news is that the retards will kill themselves for their stupid 90's momscience beliefs. Like the antivaxxers.

It's more likely they'll live long enough to do plenty of damage. Dying at 60 vs 80 doesn't change much.

>>12514809
What about clotted cream tea? Not even Americans use that cream.

This is so frustrating. I hate seeing overweight people sucking down a bunch of sugar while thinking they're getting healthier by cutting all the fat out of their diet.

>>12515273
Why?

>>12514293
It’s half cream half milk.

>>12514813
No, they don't.

It means that, in their alleged quest towards self-improvement, someone sold them a fatal lie that they swallowed hook-line-sinker.
