Coffee Mate and Dr Pepper Team Up for a ‘Dirty Soda’ Creamer — Yes, Really!​

At-home dirty sodas just became even easier.

Coffee Mate is partnering up with Dr Pepper to create a coconut lime creamer specifically made for crafting a dirty soda. Though the creamer company normally caters to coffee, as the name suggests, this limited-time creamer is meant to be added to soda (ideally Dr Pepper) instead.

Starting March, the fruity creamer will be available at grocery stores nationwide while supplies last for a suggested retail price of $3.29.

Dirty soda popped up all across social media back in 2022 but has been popular in Utah since the 2010s. The drink typically consists of soda mixed with creamer or half and half, flavored syrups and lime juice.

Dirty soda became a mocktail-esque mainstay in the state likely because Utah has a large Mormon population who don't typically drink alcohol because of their religion.

Celebrities helped popularize the dirty soda trend, too. In December 2021, pop star Olivia Rodrigo posted an Instagram photo to her feed holding a cup from Swig, a soda shop that specializes in making dirty sodas. Lindsay Lohan also starred in a Pepsi commercial focused on dirty soda.


Coca-Cola recently announced a Dr Pepper competitor: Coca-Cola Spiced. The new, fizzy beverage is the first permanent flavor to be introduced by the brand in three years. It hit national retail shelves starting Feb. 19. Coca-Cola Spiced Zero Sugar is also available.

The soda blends the classic taste of Coca-Cola with a “burst of refreshing raspberry flavors and spiced notes,” per a release.
 
I'm sure it tastes interesting. Pity you can only get it in the states.
 
Coffee creamer is good if you like a really dark roast and you need to bring balance to the force, the roast will shine through and all the bitterness will be erased by the sweet cream.

Obviously black is healthier but if you are after health you are better off on the tea or mate train anyway.

Nigger do you know that there is this real substance called ‘cream’ that comes from the top of milk bottles that tastes 1000% better than the petroleum your talking about?

This seems to be a Europe thing you're talking about. I've never noticed the top of the milk gallon tasting different from the rest. Also, you can just get regular half and half. It doesn't have any additives that I know of.

Lactose intolerance holmes. Also my wife bakes and usually has cream in the fridge but if she didn't and I wanted real cream I would be throwing out near full cartons constantly.
 
I believe in simple milk and agave syrup (or homemade simple syrup) supremacy.
 
I guess using nasty fake cream would potentially fix the curdling issue. Wouldn't this curdle if you did it with actual half and half?

I can't imagine this being anything but profoundly weird. I'm sure it tastes like something people would consume happily if they were in need of calories and had no other sustenance...it's got sugar, it's got creaminess, a medieval peasant would have been amazed, but in a land of many options, why would this be the one you'd pick?

What’s half and half? Excuse my ignorance.
So it’s like fake cream for coffee? That’s really weird. UHT cream exists (tastes foul but still.) is it to flavour it so you can have a flavoured coffee?
I think over in the UK it's called it "light cream". It's thicker than regular whole/3% milk but thinner than heavy (whipping) cream.

Coffee mate can be fake cream though, which has the appeal to people that are lactose intolerant or borderline. A lot of Boba tea shops actually use fake/milk-less creamers in their drinks.
 
Actual half-and-half mixed with a strong brewed coffee is fucking glorious. This... this is an abomination.
