"If you're a coffee drinker, then you know how much fun it can be to venture to one of your favorite coffee shops to order a special coffee beverage you can't make at home. Unfortunately, that's an expensive habit to keep up every day, which is why it's nice to have the ingredients you need to make flavorful coffee at home."
"I'll be honest - none of International Delight's coffee creamers really did it for me, as they are all cloyingly sweet. I only used a single serving of creamer in each of these coffees, and I found them to be absolutely overpowering, turning my morning coffee into a drink that tastes sweeter than your average soda. But the Hazelnut flavor is arguably the worst."
International Delight was an early and popular store-bought coffee creamer brand; five flavors were selected and taste-tested and then ranked from worst to best. Ranking criteria focused on flavor and balance, especially sweetness level and whether each creamer tasted like its advertised flavor. Most International Delight creamers came across as cloyingly sweet, with a single serving often making coffee sweeter than soda. The Hazelnut flavor ranked lowest: it gives a slight nutty aroma but delivers an overly sweet, artificial funk and lacks the expected nutty complexity to balance the sweetness.
