A discount on Nutella has led to violent scenes in a chain of French supermarkets, as shoppers jostled to grab a bargain on the sweet spread.

Intermarché supermarkets offered a 70% discount on Nutella, bringing the price down from €4.50 (£3.90) to €1.40.

But police were called when people began fighting and pushing one another

They are like animals. A woman had her hair pulled, an elderly lady took a box on her head, another had a bloody hand," one customer told French media.

A member of staff at one Intermarché shop in central France told the regional newspaper Le Progrès: "We were trying to get in between the customers but they were pushing us."

Oh those crazy Frenchies! I don't get it myself. I mean the stuff is good, but seriously, a food riot?

[butlerweave]

Muslims love their Nutella

[virgil]

Just think about black Friday at Walmart. Some Americans are like that too

[Rurudyne]

Black Friday for hazelnuts.

Merde-hole.

[Jeff Chandler]

the stuff is good

Meh.

[eldoradude]

Nutella....aptly named.

[faithhopecharity]

they’ll fight each other over a bottle of bread spread
but
they won’t lift a finger to defend against its ruling elite selling France out to the IslamoNazi invasion

go figure!

apparently they’d rather lose everything, including their “liberty, equality and fraternity”..... and quite likely man of their very lives..... in exchange for a smeared slice of bread

I suspect it’s not the stereotypical frog rioting, but members of the muzzie community. The French version of FR’s “Amish”.

Wonder what they would over Grey Poupon..,

[morphing libertarian]

m,y friends live near Mulhouse They are not Muslim. They also love their Nutella.

[digger48]

The stuff never impressed me.

[faithhopecharity]

OMG! Gray Poupon! they’d probably self-explode

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I like hazelnuts.

I like chocolate.

I like hazelnuts and chocolate.

I do not like Nutella.

Go figure.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Hahaha!!!

[Jeff Chandler]

I tried to like it. I’m a big fan of peanut butter and I was SURE I was going to like Nutella.

But it just wasn’t to be.

[livius]

The French and the Italians are Nutella crazed. It’s basically like a peanut butter made of hazelnuts with a bit of chocolate. It’s good but not to die for! However, they put it on or into everything, and in France, crepes with Nutella are a big street food that you can buy from carts.

[faithhopecharity]

and smear your gray poupon on a snail and they’d positively nuke themselves over it

[Jeff Chandler]

Now here's MY kind of hazelnut/chocolate combo:
