COFFEE drinkers are mourning the loss of their favorite creamer flavor as International Delight has discontinued a beloved item.
International Delight collaborated with Cold Stone Creamery to offer its sweet cream flavor that was loved by many.
The creamer was both gluten- and lactose-free, which made it available to a wide range of coffee drinkers.
It was quietly replaced by the sweet and creamy flavor - what the company tried to pass off as a similar offering.
While the design was merely the same, the taste was wildly different - and fans took note.
Social media was lit up by users, with TikToker (@victoriadegroot1) airing out her disgust.

“Why am I not seeing more outrage that Cold Stone creamer Internation Delight has gone away?”
She went on to call the replacement “dirt water.”
Tons of other fans noticed the change and even went so far as to sign a petition on Change.org called “Bring back the Coldstone Sweet Cream International Delight Creamer!”
The petitioner, Rikki Dobbs, claimed that the reason fans no longer see the flavor is because International Delight did not renew the contract with Coldstone.

“Many of us in the coffee tribe have spoken, but ID continues to push this awful, flavorless and pathetic excuse of a replaceable creamer on us. It’s just not the same,” Rikki said in the petition.
SO LONG
Those mourning the loss of their favorite creamer are also losing other breakfast staples.
Wegmans recently confirmed it has discontinued its brand of frozen shredded hash brown potatoes.
While prices may vary by store and state, the item cost nearly $3 for a 28-ounce bag.
The company did not offer an exact cause for the disappearance of the hash brown potatoes.
However, most items get the ax for a variety of reasons.
Shoppers are also still reeling from Campbell's discontinuing its Scotch Broth.
Easily a cult classic, when it disappeared from shelves, customers were shocked.
The hearty favorite was made with mutton broth, carrots, barley, water, and potatoes with seasoned cooked lamb.
Many health-conscious shoppers appreciated the options as it was low in fat, cholesterol, and sugar.
While that specific soup is long gone, the company has a similar offering.
The Campbell’s condensed soup version of its chicken gumbo might have a similar vibe with a spicy chicken taste.
While it might not perfectly replace the lamb-flavored mutton broth, it may be a tasty alternative.

It isn't all bad news for coffee drinkers, Starbucks has announced two new beverages to its summer lineup.
The new additions are the chocolate java mint frappuccino and the white chocolate macadamia cream cold brew.
The chocolate java mint frapp is similar to mint chocolate chip ice cream, while the macadamia cream cold brew was inspired by white chocolate macadamia nut cookies.
For grande sizes, both drinks are under $6 depending on the state and store.
The U.S. Sun also did a round-up of five store-bought soups that got the ax.
