I feel sick. I had been very critical of a coffee whitener, used in the office, but I had never sampled it. Deciding that if I was to be truly critical, I should at least have tasted it, I put some in my first coffee of the day.

The product in question is "Coffee Compliment". I object to this product for two reasons. Firstly, its name - the word "compliment" means to be nice to someone, it does not mean to complete. In this case, the namer of the product almost certainly meant the homophonic "complement". Ignorant swine! Secondly, the contents of this coffee whitening product consists not of milk, so much as some milk proteins alongside glucose syrup and vegetable oils... in other words, the so called "compliment" is actually sugary lard - I call that more of an insult!

So, I am now on the outside of a spoonful of the stuff. I feel sick because it tastes disgusting (despite someone's protestations that it is, in fact, really nice and creamy) and I should have known better than to disturb my stomach with it. At least I can now now authoritatively say how disgusting this product is. If you feel like using some, my advice is to learn how to drink your coffee black!
