There are several things you would expect to fall from the sky: you know…rain, sleet, snow, hail, but… creamer?
In Chester County, SC, in 1969, a non-dairy creamer manufacturer released creamer particles into the atmosphere, causing them to appear as if it were raining coffee creamer across the town.
Cremora is a non-dairy creamer manufactured by the Borden company. The plant developed exhaust vent issues, and puffs of creamer would spew into the air. Anytime there was rain or even just dew, the town became a hazy milky mess. There was enough creamer for everyone’s coffee that year.
Eventually, the company fixed the problem and was fined a relatively small amount of $ 4,000.
