I just watched a Coffee-Mate Commercial (Page 2): The dry is, the liquid evidently isn't!!

You haven’t been around long enough to remember churns. I agree it’s false advertising. How can you churn powder?

They do also have a liquid. And it tastes just like cream. I have to buy it when the kids come, for their coffee. They don't like the powder. I drink mine black.

Churning is the mechanical process by which the solids in milk coagulate and can be skimmed off as butter. Done it many times both by a paddle like wooden tool in a large crock of milk or in a 2 gallon jar where the contents are sloshed back and forth until the butter separates. Thanks for the memories.

Hard to visualize a dry powder being churned but maybe they are suggesting Coffee Mate is in actually a milk byproduct. Don't know, have to read the contents.

When I was a kid, 9 or 10 yrs old, we did it by tossing the half gallon jar back and forth across the quilt mom was making in the quilting frame h*****g from the living room ceiling. Amazingly, we never broke the jar or the quilt frame.

They claimed that their Coffee-Mate was TRIPLE-CHURNED for better taste!! What do you think about that??

I don't believe it for one. Coffee mate is dry, churned?

I remember seeing old ladies churning milk. There was a wooden barrel with a wooden plate that they pushed up and down to separate the butter. There was a pole attached to the plate.

You can buy a liquid version, I prefer REAL cream, or if I want to be good half-n-half, milk as a last resort

Yes, that is what I meant, although sometimes, (not often) the original mistake makes sense. Thanks for catching that.

Never heard of a quilting frame h*****g from the ceiling, but I guess it has some perks. Would not take up as much room in the house. But that only pushed us to get the quilt done sooner.
We made butter till I left home in '62. I even made it at times, later, when I could find a Dairy Farm in the country, and could buy the cream. My boys really thought that was neat. We always shook the GAL. JUG, while we listened to the radio, and later while we watched TV!! Mom would have k**led us if we had tossed the jug!! One time one of my brother that h**ed to work, thought if he put the jug in a box and pulled it behind his bike it would work. It didn't! He broke the jug and got a whipping.

And what is left is Butter milk!!

Doesn't matter. Cream is used in a LOT of things. But you do not make cream by churning it!!

If you churn cream too long, it turns to butter! My grandmother taught me this when I was 7-8 years old, use to help doing it. "Churn" literally just means to stir vigorously, they could do that to the liquid coffee-mate, but doubt if it has any REAL cream in it!

They don't churn milk. When the cows are milked, the milk is run through a separator. Which separates the cream from the milk. The milk goes in one jar the cream in a gal jug, if you don't have a Churn. When the Gal is about two thirds full, someone gets to sit and shake it back and forth till it coagulates. If you have 5 Brothers and two Sisters, like I did, you get to share the experience. Then you drain off the Buttermilk, into a jar. And the butter has to be kneaded till all of the liquid is out of it, then you add a little salt, and it is ready to be used!! They used to have a coloring they would sometimes put into it, but we rarely did. Mom would plan to make Homemade bread to come out of the oven about the time the Butter would be done.
NOTHING tastes better than FRESH HOT BREAD, with FRESH made BUTTER on it. MMMmmmMMMM!!
