THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF CREAMERS

Staying cool in a local 7/11 while waiting to end a phone call with my boss so I could catch my train I noticed Reese's Peanut Butter Creamer amongst the Flavor enhancers by the Coffee station and was somewhat taken aback but with pleasure. I even dabbed a drop on a Napkin piece to sample it after I searched and discovered that the International Delight line of Flavored Creamers was for sale in the Dairy section.

This began as a possibly promising new hobby as I do Drink Coffee daily and even though at the moment take mine Black with Sugar I am not against some Flavoring especially if it might make my cup of joe taste a bit like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

Is it still Coffee then ?

Thats a whole other conversation.

The Reese's Creamer was pretty damn superb and tasted just as it should.

Like a Reeses Peanut Butter Coffee.

My promising new hobby may have come to an all too quick finish as I tried my second choice in the Flavor running.

While I investigated the availability of the International Delight Creamers that fateful night in 7/11 whence the Reese's was discovered I took note of some of the other perfumes on offer and White Chocolate Raspberry stood out as a serious contender for Taste Bud elevation.

While this variety does indeed taste exactly as it should it was not as exciting as the Reeses, I even just today took great enjoyment in having two cups of Coffee without Creamer but I am not beaten yet or should I reword that.

My Creaming Days Are Not Over Yet.

DD - $2 COLD BREW

The first thing I noticed after ordering two Cold Brew Chocolate Cherry for Cristina and myself was that C got 3 Squirts of Syrup and I only received two, the difference being mine had Sugar and hers did not. Guess the Syrup is Sweet enough on its own must be the logic.

A very tasty number, now let us suspend disbelief in the fact that this is Coffee (even though it is), This is a different beast, the Flavored Iced Coffee. I sympathize with the purists point of view that the only way to go is Hot, Black, No Sugar but will be open to the fact that this is just plain a Coffee based beverage to have fun with, thats right FUN.

A pleasant blend of Chocolate Cherry but a tad higher on the Chocolatey side to my palate, still Delicious and there is even Coffee in it as a base. Ordered with "not too much ice" otherwise you could wind up with Coffee Water.

I sampled both and prefer the serving without sugar, the Syrup does indeed have the right amount of Flavor and even though I am new to Iced Coffee (thats a whole other story) I find Sugar to be slightly distracting unless in a Hot Cup of Joe.

Two Bucks apiece for a Medium size, quite the bargain by DD standards.
