It's "cream" that is mostly sugar and flavor other than cream. Most of them are also non-dairy, hence why the first cream is in quotes. The word "creamer" generally refers to the non-dairy cream substitutions for coffee.

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.
