 Like how about “ingredients: milk, vanilla” 
 That probably existed somewhere in the store at some point, but was 100x the cost of this crap, and since no one bought it cuz it was relatively expensive, that company went bankrupt. 
 Always read the ingredients. Also, look for fresh and non processed food. 
 I agree that ingredients should be simpler. Especially since that looks to be a "sugar free" creamer, I'm assuming based on the use of sucralose. I prefer not sugar free because of the fake sugary taste. Anyway, I feel like those additional ingredients and chemicals are probably to do with shelf life and our grocery store model. 

There was probably a time when you could get just milk creamer with some sugar in it. But I'm guessing it would go bad pretty quickly? And with how "streamlined" the manufacturing is, I bet that gets expensive quickly.

So I think that's the trade off? We'll add some preservatives and you get it for cheaper and it'll go bad less rapidly. But I think folks should have the option for it if they choose to! I'm no food expert but I'm guessing it goes something like that.  
 It is frankly hilarious 😂 
 Well, presumably she wanted non-dairy for a reason.  She lactose intolerant?  Vegan?

But yes, just cream & vanilla would be far superior.
