Behold! A meme I just made up

At work you are known as that weird guy/girl who: opens the little creamer thimbles and tests them individually before adding them to my coffee. They go ... stale, I guess. They're actual half-and-half, but pasteurized, and preseved who-knows-how. So they don't go bad, but they do develop this really chalky offtaste

that's not so odd. when i was a student with a cup of coffee permanently attached to my hand at all times, i thought the cafeteria coffee was just really sour. eventually i figured out that it was not the coffee, but the creamer that was never adequately refrigerated (this was before UHT). yuck.

anyhow -- long story short -- i always check the creamer too.

TEST THEM? You mean by sniffing? Or do you taste them?
