Dunkin' Extra Extra Cold Foam Creamer

I waited so long [for brain reasons] to try the Dunkin' cold foam (which was originally in the black Reddi-Wip can) that they released their own branded version! Once I saw this, my [possibly fruitless] cold foam fast was over. Hooray, etc. This doesn't have any artificial sweeteners or flavors in it, anyway, so I like it quite a lot. Is it the same as the foam that Dunkin stores use? That I am not sure, because I didn't have it on cold brew, which is the only place I experience cold foam in Dunkin stores. However, the fact that I am not sure either way is a good sign. Tastes like unobjectionable sweet milky cream; melts properly; lasts 2 weeks. Didn't cause any urgent health issues. I don't get the flavor name (Extra Extra? is this little caesar's?) but that's OK, I don't have to get everything.

Overall
Cost: 5/10 [5$ish]
Taste: 7/10

Dunkin' Pumpkin Munchkin Creamer

A lot of people (online) talk about how coffee creamer is a major trigger for migraine/vertigo/etc, and I definitely have felt terrible after I consume it, but I don't know if that's fully Biological or fully Psychological, even though I'm trying really hard to be scientific about the whole enterprise (of my agonies). A tragic thing about living alone is that I have no one I trust to set up little masked studies for me! Anyway, the blessing in disguise is that this contains 63 servings but goes bad after 7 days, so I only sampled it a few (=7) times and now I can go back to my biological and/or psychological baseline. I can also feed the neighborhood mammals a lot of janky expired creamer; happy holidays kitten and squirrelfriends.

The flavor isn't even that good, or at least, it isn't good enough to vom because of. I don't usually get cream in my coffee regardless, possibly for vom-based reasons below my past level of awareness, and so this just adds a non-coffee note that I don't need. It turns coffees into desserts, I guess. I do like desserts, but there are many more delicious dessert options. It sinks to the bottom of the cup and so you just get vaguely tangy sweet-ish flavors until you get a sudden burst of "dunkin spice", which if you get a lot of Dunkin products you'll know what I mean. It's not super duper artificial, but it's a bit "off", a bit nutmeggy, sweet and creamy, sure, but not only. I don't know if I've ever had a pumpkin munchkin, but I've had their munchkins and their pumpkin donuts and I would say this is a pale imitation, as if someone sneezed over the pumpkin donut powder and it fell into a vat of expired creamer mixed with a cinnamon flavor shot.

International Delight Cold Foam Creamer

Wah! I was so excited for my store to finally carry a type of cold foam, but it's WEIRD :( Nothing like the coffee shop foam. Maybe it's the flavor, and if they had a non-vanilla one it would be different. But this has a weird chemical/artificial flavor that pervades the entire coffee. So if it had a nice flavor of cream, then it'd be awesome. The can and texture are fine. The taste is weird and moderately bad. Will try on an iced coffee next but I expect the same result. Woe. (My store only has this and caramel, no other flavors or brands. Woe woe.)
