‘Deeply horrified’ people are only just realising an astonishing fact about Elmlea… and it’s blowing their minds
HAVE you ever picked up a pot of Elmlea, thinking that it's cream?
Well, one woman was left stunned after discovering that it's actually a substitute for the dairy topping.
Jade took to her TikTok page to share a video expressing her shock over the discovery, as she began: "I am deeply horrified and saddened to let you all know that this is not cream at all.
"Not even in the slightest.
"It's not even a slight bit of cream is in this!"
Instead, it's made of "buttermilk and vegetable oils", resulting in a "delicious creamy taste".
