I think it probably ranks right up there with "imitation margarine" (yup that 
also really exists)    I can just picture the perfect breakfast.  One piece 
of toast with imitation margarine washed down with decaffienated coffee with 
non fat half and half.  Breakfast of champions ..... NOT

 Probably some kind of unspeakable substitute for light cream, suitable
 for coffee, etc. Looking a bit at the ingredients found in that other
 anomaly of the dairy case, non-fat sour cream (which, BTW, has as many
 calories as the real thing, if not more, just less saturated fat), I
 would guess nfh&h to contain some combination of skimmed milk with,
 perhaps, milk solids and perhaps an emulsifier or two to keep it thick
 in the absence of good old emulsified butterfat.
