AIBU?

to think that the Nutella people have an inflated sense of their own importance?

On the site if the jar it says that it wants to celebrate by sharing "unique Nutella stories" ... Apparently there's a special moment behind each slide of bread with Nutella.

Am I missing something?

My special unique moments involve hiding in the kitchen, mumbling to the kids that they can watch more cartoons if they leave me alone for a minute, eating it off a spoon. Hardly treasured special moments Hmm

I looked at the side of my nutella jar whilst shovelling it in my mouth to see its made by ferrero...I think the inside of a ferrero rocher is nutella...

The inside of a ferrero rocher is most definitely nutella.

I hate that sort of marketing. Innocent started it all and now all companies seem to think they have to 'talk' to us like we're all mates down the pub. Only Innocent do it well, in my opinion.

I don't like the way they advertise. Their tv ad talks about how their product is so wonderful and natural and contains hazelnuts and cocoa......they fail to mention all the diabetes inducing sugar though Hmm

And that the own brand stuff is exactly the same at half the price.

It shouldn't be allowed to be advertised as a healthy breakfast product, but something you have as a treat.

And that it is primarily made from oil...

My Nutella story is sad because DS2 has a nut allergy and we can't have it anymore.

Why not just eat two whole hazelnuts and have a glass of milk instead? Grin

I love nutella but I hardly ever buy it. Too much temptation. But I can't see how they can say it's healthy.

Don't know about there, but in America they don't say that it is healthy. They say that you can make it a part of your healthy breakfast. Big difference.

Also, I've never tried it on bread. That just doesn't sound good to me.

It's the stories you tell your DCs to explain why you've got chocolate around your mouth when you said you were just nipping to the loo, and the reasons you give them as to why they can't have some.

Vile stuff that is banned from this house even if DNephew says it's the only thing he will eat. Fussy child might have to starve (or grow up and eat properly)

I agree with hiddenhome and others. The advert is deliberately misleading.


I do like a nice Nutella and sliced strawberry sandwich though

Slice open a brioche, spread with Nutella, decorate with banana slices, and pop the top back on. Lush.

Notso, is he allergic to all nuts? If not you could make some using different nuts. There is a recipe on taste.com.

When dd went on school camp last year we had crunchy nut cornflakes, peanut butter and satay chicken.
