According to Wiki, half and half, the diary product is, I quote:

"Half and half can refer to a mixture of milk and cream, which is often
used in coffee. In the United States, half and half is a common liquid product produced by dairy companies in premixed form.

"Half-and-half is the food consisting of a mixture of milk and cream
which contains not less than 10.5 percent but less than 18 percent
milkfat. It is pasteurized or ultra-pasteurized, and may be homogenized."

So how in the hell can they sell "Fat Free" half and half?

I don't think they can redefine "fat" or the term "fat free", so I'm
guessing after "half and half" there's some fine print or an asterisk
or something. If that's not the case, then maybe "fat free" has some food-industry meaning that differs from its common meaning, similar to
how "non-alcoholic" doesn't mean 0% alcohol (how would you achieve that anyhow?), it's <0.5% alcohol.
