Dairy Confusion

May 14, 2007 20:52

Quoth the Wiki:

In the United States, half and half is a mix of ½ whole milk and ½ cream, typically used as a more stable cream in coffee. It has a fat content of about 12.5% and is sometimes used to make ice cream.

Ok. So at least according to the wikipedia - and according to everything I've known about it - Half & Half = Fat content. (And Fat=flavor, but that's another story...)

Can someone explain to me how, then, they have *fat free* half & half???

I saw that at the grocery store tonight & it confused me so bad I forgot why I was there. Why would anyone even *bother* w/ it at that point?

I can't wait until we start seeing citrus free oranges & starch free potatoes.
It's only a matter of time.
