Taking your personal preference and then dictating what the rest of
the world should or should not like is being a food snob. Most of the
nay sayers so far have said basically this: "I don't like it - it
doesn't matter that I've never tried it, I still don't like it.
Anyone who doesn't agree with me is just an advertising driven, big
box shopping sheep, you stupid American."

Of course, I don't agree with those sentiments. I probably eat far
less Cool Whip than those who are denigrating it, yet I'm always
surprised by how close it is to real whipped cream in taste and
texture. I can't speak about pudding of any kind. I'm not a big ice
cream eater either. One or two scoops a year is about my speed and
I'm satisfied with Thrifty ice cream.

Coffee creamers are for emergencies and again, I don't think it ruins
*decent* coffee. However, I know from personal experience of ordering
coffee in other parts of the country and the world that most people
don't drink the quality of coffee brewed at the strength I brew mine.
You'd have to pour milk into mine to ruin it. Keep milk far, far away
from my coffee, all it does is dilute it and turn it gray. I want
something thicker and richer, so I prefer coffee creamer over milk.
If I don't have any creamer, I'll do without coffee until I have the
real thing.
