You know why? Nutella has 7 times sugar of peanut butter in the same serving size. Of course kids are going to like it better. So will their dentist haha..

As I’m sure you know, filberts are hazelnuts. Also known as cobnuts FWIW.

There's a chocolate & hazelnut yogurt available here, and it's very good. It goes under the name Chočenksý. Good stuff.

I haven’t tried the JIF yet...nor will I, actually...Nutella is fantastic. I don’t eat it for breakfast..I use it as “frosting” on graham crackers or cupcakes.

I WAS going to say that chocolate wasn’t on my breakfast menu except for “milk”...but then I remembered that I have a box of Chocolate Pop-Tarts in the cupboard.

Have you contacted Michelle O. at the White House for a job opportunity? You sound like a perfect candidate for Asst. Hectoring Nanny.

“It’s always been a mystery to me that the Europeans love Nutella,”

It must be good on horse.

I do like genuine hazelnut flavored coffee with cream and sugar.

But now even the hazelnut syrup is artificially flavored?

Is nothing sacred?

Is everything becoming Unobtainium?

It is nothing but a candy bar in a jar. If you left stacks of hershey bars out for the students to take as they wanted, the same expense would occur.

Compared to Marmite or Vegemite, Nutella is Ambrosia!

In Vietnam when we would come out of the bush for a few weeks rest at a firebase, the messhalls had the same problem.

All the peanut butter, jam, hot sauce, etc would disappear from the tables.

Kinda like army ants came through & picked the place clean.

I've never tried Nutella, so I was wondering... Is it something like Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in spread form?

I suspect an advertising agency behind this news release.

Last night (March 7th) it took up valuable time on Fox News’s broadcast (the Grapevine). Also in this New York Times article. Both of these news organizations (and no doubt others) just happened to think that undergraduates pilfering Nutella was major breaking news??

Also sketchy from the article:

“Last month one of Columbia’s undergraduate dining halls began serving Nutella every day. . . . Where Dining might have to spend $50,000 to replace silverware and cups, they were spending thousands of dollars on Nutella in one week.”

So, last month they start serving it (beyond just in weekend crepes), and in four to six weeks they (a) incur thousands of dollars in costs PER WEEK because of their new decision, (b) do nothing about it, and (c) inform major news organizations.

OK.

And the fact that I have started to see Nutella commercials on TV this year, after a lifetime of seeing no advertising whatsoever for it, is a mere coincidence, I suppose. (How many Nutella commercials from your childhood can you remember?)

Mrs WBill loves the stuff. It's not too bad.

It's about like a dark chocolate frosting, but not nearly as sweet. Good on a cracker.
