Coffeemate...truly a friend to coffee

Okay, so I used to drink my coffee black with extranneous packets of Equal sprinkled in. Until I discovered Coffeemate. This was about two weeks ago. A co-worker of mine and cube neighbor had bought the flavor Pumpkin Spice and wasn't too keen on the taste, so she marked it "freebie" and put it in the communal fridge. I of course, always search the communal fridge for any items classified as "freebie." Usually I skim over the creamer since, as mentioned earlier, I drink coffee with Equal, but for some reason, I was very intrigued by the Pumpkin Spice. And it was great. So great I finished the whole bottle in a matter of a week. I decided to create a creamer pool so that we would always have new and exotic flavors of Coffeemate in the fridge. First up was Chai Spice which was the replacement for Pumpkin Spice, as the flavor was discontinued until next holiday season. Unfortch, Chai Spice is unavailable in the larger size, so that was gone in a few days. Next was Cinnamon Vanilla, which I am currently enjoying but is nearly gone. Flavors I am NOT trying are Hazelnut and Irish Creme. I know I am making it seem as if Coffeemate has a vast and diversified flavor selection, but really I think there maybe two flavors left I haven't tried.

In other office kitchen news, there are three items on the "grab it if you want it" table where in the past movies on VHS such as "Drop Dead Fred" and "Good Burger" have been left for public consumption. This is also where people display goods that their children are selling, like candy bars and Girl Scout cookies. But today there is a generic box of Jewel chex cereal, a loaf of bread, and chocolate peppermint cherry-filled candies. They have been there all day.

It's all about the french vanilla in our office - because I'm the one who actually buys it, and that's the one I like. (Also, our local walgreens only has that or Hazelnut).

We still have tins of holiday popcorn / chocolate up for grabs. gross.

have you tried drinking the coffemate straight? Seriously, take a swig right out of the bottle. it's delicious. in fact, i'll bet it would taste great with whiskey.

drop dead fred and good burger are quality movies. you should take them.
