Chaotic scenes were filmed in several supermarkets across the country operated by the Intermarche chain, which offered massive discounts on pots of Nutella.

The promotion, launched on Thursday, reduced the price of more than a million 950-gram pots from 4.70 euros ($5.85) to 1.41 ($1.75).

In one video posted on Twitter, customers are seen shoving each other and shouting as they try to get as many pots as possible. According to Le Parisien newspaper, shoppers started to fight in the northern town of Ostricourt, prompting police to step in.

Sacre bleu, the French are so cultured and nuanced. WAY ahead of the Colonies.

Yet deodorant sits on shelves despite a massive 90% off sale.

Same thing happened in Hawaii when there was a big sale on Spam. People were trampled to death by 600 pound Hawaiians in the canned goods isle of the grocery stores.

Nutella is mighty delish.

Thanks to the 80% sugar, vegetable oil and non-fat milk solids.

Re> Nutella is mighty delish.

Put some pineapple slices on the grill then top them with Nutella.

Nutella eating surrender monkeys.

It’s just candy paste.

Since Nutella has an expiration date, I believe they bought it for resale.

If it was free, I would tell them to keep it. It’s got hazelnut in it- can’t stand it.

[nevergore]

Agree...it may taste good but it’s a heart attack in a jar......
Terrible ingredients......
Better to make your own chocolate hazelnut spread.... it’s easy....

I prefer Jif Chocolate Cheesecake Flavored Hazelnut Spread - lots of sugar and calories, though>

[catnipman]

Nutella is a garbage “food”: first ingredient: sugar; second ingredient: palm oil ...

[Fungi]

Same here. Go to their website, they won’t give you the exact ingredients as it is on the package.
