People have long debated how much creamer is the appropriate amount to put in one’s coffee. While the ratio often ends up being a matter of personal preference, sometimes, a person’s personal preference is blatantly wrong — TikTok’s viral ‘Coffee Creamer Girl,’ Alexis Hinton (@alexis1hinton on TikTok), is one of the few coffee enthusiasts who has managed to pour an objectively ungodly amount of creamer into her iced coffee.
Hinton’s videos first began to gain traction on September 4, when she posted a video of herself making an iced mocha latte. The video, which now has nearly 6M views on TikTok, features her filling about a quarter of a tall glass with Starbucks iced coffee. What came next, though, had viewers in shock: she poured a small splash of oat milk into the cup, then filled the remaining three-quarters of the glass with Coffee Mate iced mocha creamer.
The result is a cup of coffee that’s basically just straight coffee creamer with a dash of actual coffee. The comments, of course, were in shock.
“Just put the straw in the creamer next time,” one commenter said.
“Genuinely asking, how many bottles of creamer do you drink throughout the week?” another worried commenter asked.
While the video from September 4 was the first incident of Hinton making an iced creamer rather than an iced coffee, it was certainly not the last. A video she posted on September 20 began going viral, sparking creators to make reaction videos this week.
The video, which has 1.3M views, features Hinton making an iced coffee in her car. She starts with her cup, which is a Halloween-spirited cup choice decorated with ghosts. She brought with her a bowl of ice cubes, from which she grabbed two ice cubes to put into her cup.
To make her coffee, she uses the same iced coffee and creamer from her first iced coffee video. Before pouring her creamer, she noted that only about a third of it was left, despite claiming to have bought the bottle yesterday. “That’s so annoying, like, these only last two, three coffees,” she complained. After pouring it, she realized that she didn’t have “enough” — so I guess the coffee flavor might have been too strong when she gave the iced coffee a taste.
Again, the comments are filled with outrage. Even the coffee creamer brand International Delight commented, “Normally I’d be pushing our creamer but Coffee mate makes sense for this situation.”
This video was so outrageous that creators began reacting to it in separate videos. One creator, @j0jo4president on TikTok, was clearly infuriated by what he saw in the video. His reaction video, which was posted two days ago, currently has 1.8M views.
“How do you live this long?” he asked.
If viewers had searched through any more of Hinton’s videos, however, they would have realized that they’ve been duped. In a video from September 15, which is titled “Make Coffee with the Ragebait Queen,” the controversial creator revealed that her real morning coffee is nothing like the outrageous coffees that attracted engagement.
“I wanted to still do the fake coffee videos, but had to unfilter the word ‘ragebait’ so all of the people saying ragebait would show up in the comments of the reveals,” she said, citing comments that would lament at the fact that they fell for the ragebait content, calling her the “ragebait queen.”
“If you’re seeing this, if I post a fake creamer , don’t say anything about it being fake,” she emphasized.
The actual coffee ratio for Henton? An actually understandable amount of coffee with a normal amount of creamer. One commenter said that they were “so relieved” to finally know the truth behind her videos, as I’m sure many others are as well.
