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 think they mean the times you have it buttered on a crepe in the depths of a cold winters day while walk

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...

TalkieToaster · 18/03/2014 16:43

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

KatnipEvergreen · 18/03/2014 17:37

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

KatnipEvergreen · 18/03/2014 17:38

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

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 18/03/2014 17:38

...they fail to mention all the diabetes inducing sugar though

And that it is primarily made from oil...

HadABadDay2014 · 18/03/2014 17:39

Nutella is gross.

The advert used to drive me insane, eat serving has 2 whole hazelnuts and a glass of milk

BankWadger · 18/03/2014 17:39

Or the rain forest killing palm oil.

WorraLiberty · 18/03/2014 17:40

I wonder how many filthy stories they're going to get Grin

notso · 18/03/2014 17:44

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

hiddenhome · 18/03/2014 17:45

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

Viviennemary · 18/03/2014 17:48

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

callmekitten · 18/03/2014 17:55

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.

Tryharder · 18/03/2014 17:59

I wondered the same thing Worra...

Cuxibamba · 18/03/2014 18:04

I use the supermarket own brand.

Hate Nutella. It makes me feel sick.

AnnieOats · 18/03/2014 18:07

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.

wonkylegs · 18/03/2014 18:07

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)

NewtRipley · 18/03/2014 18:09

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

I do like a nice Nutella and sliced strawberry sandwich though

pictish · 18/03/2014 18:10

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

Shockers · 18/03/2014 19:18

You made me eat Nutella...

HolgerDanske · 19/03/2014 20:39

Slice of white. Peanut butter. Nutella.

Heaven.

Writerwannabe83 · 19/03/2014 20:43

Nutella on toast with butter..... YUMMY!!! Grin

SavoyCabbage · 19/03/2014 20:49

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.
