      You are selecting a very small and relatively recent subset of the category and using that to describe the entire category.

      • There are two separate clauses in my statement. One refers to the kind shown in the image. The other is a general statement about the term “creamer.”

        Also: Recent? My dude, CoffeeMate has existed since the 60’s.
