Why are teenage girls obsesses with Nutella? It used to be Nutella was something Europeans ate, and U.S. citizens didn't touch the stuff.

It's always been a mystery to me that the Europeans love Nutella, but they think Peanut Butter is strange...

And here I am feeling guilty about using liberal lashings of tobasco at 69c the bottle.

Nutella eaters remind me of poodle fanciers.

I love the stuff. It is absolutely wonderful on graham crackers.

I tried the stuff and it is OK. For some strange reason I associate nutella with yodeling.

Oh, forgot to add...it probably helps that Giada improved the image of the product by using the Italian pronunciation:

New-TELL-uh (with an Italian accent)...sounds a bit more exotic than the alternative...LOL!

I think it tastes horrible. I bought a jar and tasted it, thankfully my SILs grandson liked it, I offered it to several people who wouldn’t take it.

Ug, nasty stuff. Looks like you should scrape it off your shoe.

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?

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 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?)
