Land O Lakes Mini Moos Creamer Half & Half Cups 192Count 54 Fl Oz (Pack May Vary), Individual Shelf-Stable Half & Half Pods for Coffee Tea Hot Chocolate, Made With Real Cream

I have purchased Land O'Lakes half and half 192# box several times. I also have purchased Carnation and some of the non-dairy flavored varieties. All together I've purchased about a dozen boxes in total. The Land O'Lakes is the only one that has not disappointed me. I always had "bad ones" in the other brands. Many "bad ones". I have never had any in this product. I do not refridgerate. I keep mine in a see through glass storage container on my kitchen counter. It has a lid which is usually off so it's open to the air, the sun hits it sometimes too. I have occassionally forgotten to rotate the product when I've filled my container up so the ones on the bottom have become quite old. Yes, I have used them anyway. I still have yet to find any bad ones. I know I should have thrown those out but I didn't. I got lucky I guess."Expiration Issues" seem to be quite large from reading the current reviews, {I can feel people throwing the rocks at me already!), I don't know what my experations dates were. I remove the product from the box and put it into large Ziploc bags as they are easier for me to handle. I also neglected to read the dates! I just don't know if my creamers were expired or not. I thought they were supposed to have a six month shelf life? Regardless, my Land O'Lakes half and half creamers have always been good, even the obviously old ones.I'd just like to add that I love the creamy, rich dairy flavor of this product. My coffee is like a rich bowl of creamy delight with Land O' Lakes half and half. I do use more than one in my cup! It is my "guily pleasure". I just can't say enough about how much I love my morning "mud pie creamed coffee"!There is another thing I truly, truly love about this brand. Its the way they are packaged in these little containers. Many brands, such as Carnation, can be impossible to peel back the seal as they are meant to be opened. I have to resort to getting a steak knife and cutting a hole in the top and squeezing the half and half out. It can be quite messy. One box I received had more than half this way. Not Land O' Lakes. I've not had a single container fail me. Every container has opened exactly as it should. I appreciate this so very much. When I am after my morning "mud pie coffee" things can get pretty nasty is your'e forced to deal with steak knives to get to that cream in that iddy biddy cup!I highly recommend this brand.

I am about to order my fourth box of these creamers and I couldn't be more pleased! My boxes have all arrived in excellent condition, maybe that depends a lot on the carrier. (Mine are delivered by UPS, in our area if something is delivered by USPS - local mail - packages seem to get thrown around a lot. The taste is excellent. At first I thought I might be indulging a little bit, but the truth is by comparison of buying half n half at the grocery it is actually cheaper considering the times I throw away part of a quart. If I buy it by the pint, I find I have to go to the grocery too often and being disabled this saves me that extra trip. I keep a container full of these in the refrigerator because I like cold half n half in my coffee to cool it down more quickly. I was concerned at first that I would not use these up within three months; but I do and occasionally decide to add a little half n half to something else I am preparing. At 10 calories per little container, I really am not adding too many calories to what I am preparing. Particularly I like it added at room temperature to a rice dish when serving it. (this is when I am glad that some of my containers are not refrigerated) These are perfect, real half n half for my coffee. Not so much for tea as it makes it too rich and I am one who prefers milk in tea but I have found if I add as much water as I add half n half it usually works out. In three months I would spend a lot more money on half n half from the grocery so it is really a saving, not just a convenience.

When I can keep shelf-stable Half and Half on hand for my coffee, it is my first choice always. I use 4 of these to one 16 oz. mug of Taster's Choice Instant Hazelnut Coffee stick mixed together in hot water. I realize it is probably fattening, but I feel so much better when I use Half and Half in my coffee or hot teas. It seems to help relieve my depression when I drink it this way. I also use these to scramble eggs, hot herbal teas, and in any recipe that calls for Half and Half. Thank you for a wonderful product. I do wish you made them in shelf-stable tetra quarts as well as these. I love using Half and Half in my Southern cornbread. Thanks to Amazon and Land-O-Lakes for selling them at a reasonable price. I am a Prime member and I look for Prime products to purchase so I will get that wonderful guarantee Amazon makes with free 2 day shipping. If you are not a Prime member I highly recommend trying it for free for a month. It has made my life so much easier to be able to order products like this and the many others that are household staples needed each month.

Let’s be honest, these little containers are the most expensive and least environmentally friendly way to have cream in your coffee. Unless you compare them to all the other off grid options. I could buy a small refrigerator and add more batteries to my solar system and then use regular quart cartons of half and half but that would cost hundreds of dollars and involve more plastic than a lifetime supply of these little cups. In the final analysis these are the least bad option. Unless I can convince my wife to drink her coffee black.
