Popular Coffee Creamers Are Turning Into Slimy Goo & TikTokers Demand To Know Why
If you're grossed out easily, you might want to pass on your next cup of coffee. That's because across social media—from Reddit to TikTok—people are expressing their shock after discovering that their coffee creamer has a gooey, glue-like consistency.
One particular video of the slimy mess, which was posted on TikTok by Gabriella Seal (ellabellabobellafofella), has received over 6 million views. In her TikTok, Seal can be seen stretching the mysterious goo with her hands as she pours it out of her bottle of International Delight's Hazelnut coffee creamer.
"I had not opened it yet. The expiration date is March 2025. Like, we're rocking, right? I go to undo the top and take the thing off and pour it in. Do you see this? It's literal slime," she explained.
And according to the comments, she's not the only one experiencing the coffee creamer catastrophe. Others detailed similar experiences with International Delight's collection of coffee creamers.
"I had this exact brand do this years ago. I went to pour it out, it came out as a slow blob, and then when I turned it back up IT SUCKED ITSELF BACK IN," said one person.
Although there's no official answer as to why your morning coffee has turned into a gooey mess, internet sleuths believe it could be the result of a storage issue. (International Delight did not respond to requests for comment as of press time.)
"As some who works in a dairy plant that makes creamer and milk (not international delight) it was definitely stored improperly. Most likely where it was the temperature was fluctuating," read one comment.
Another TikToker suggested that the problem could be part of a bigger issue with transportation or the store the product was sold at.
"When they go bad,they can turn to slime instead of curdled. In transportation, or the store.... something wasn't at ideal temp. Reach out to the company. You will get coupons for free ones," they wrote.
On the plus side, those DIY slime projects just became a lot easier.
