Who else thinks the Nutella ad on the mumsnet homepage is RIDICULOUS and OUTRAGEOUS?

[dontwanttogetoutofbed]

i do

me

nutella for breakfast?

what about some crack?

I do because it makes me want to get a spoon and demolish the jar in the cupboard. RIght now.

me, but if the clamis made on the ad are true, then it could be worse! however we dont even have it in the house (i could eat it without the toast - straight out of the jar!)- theres no way i would let me kids eat it for breakfast - i dont even allow coco pops!

It's nutella not crack cocaine

oh fgs, get a grip

are they saying everyday for every meal? NO!

it is a food stuff, not an illegal drug

out of the jar is the best way to eat it. me either, no chocolate related substances in the house, its a danger to all invovled

Nutella for breakfast is disgraceful - why not just spoon sugar right into their mouths?

Nutella for after-school snack, fine.

DH loves nutella and keeps quoting the advert to me, something about 42 hazlenuts, 1/2 glass of milk and a teeny weeny bit of sugar in it.(and how nutritious it is)
Yeah right

is it actually worse than jam?

I could eat it everyday for every meal.....

Seriously, crack???
Is it worse than jam/peanut butter?

yes and they are promoting it as part of a healthy breakfast.

goes down very well on toast for breakfast though

Haven't seen it yet - will have a look. Actually I don't even know what Nutella is tbh.

On a croissant

why is it worse than jam/marmalade/honey on toast??? Have you SEEN how much sugar is required to make jam!

and I have just leaned over my desk to reach my keyboard to type my first response and got TIPPEX all over my woollen dresss

if it doesn't come out I will hold you all responsible

dontwant yes as part of a healthy breakfast - they're not saying "this" is the best breakfast you can have and you don't need anything else LOL.

Yes, it's daft to say the least. Here in Italy they spout it as a healthy breakfast food, together with bread and fruit juice. What they really mean to say is the bread and fruit juice are healthy. Apparently it's healthy because of all the nuts, but they omit to mention the vast amounts of fat and sugar.

Mind you, I have no faith in Italian advertising standards, Kinder is frequently pushed as being nourishing because it contains milk. Shame about all the other crap that's in it.

sorry about the rant, a bugbear of mine.

Can you not complain to advertising standards in the UK? Surely they're quite strict and this is misleading info imo.

It's just an advery though. Not like they are force-feeding it to us or anything. Ignore it.

(and it doesn have less sugar in it than jam, I don't see how it will do any harm as an accoasional breakfast for a child with a balanced diet )

Brangelina that advert is definately not misleading, they are not making any false claims. There are strict advertising codes here and don't see why nutella wouldn't be in line with these

Oh fgs, it is only a food, to be eaten ocasionally. On wholemeal toast, thinly spread, with a glass of fresh juice, yes, that is an acceptable breakfast in my opinion. Not everyday, but certainly once a week.

But then I would not give it as an after-school snack. Afterschool snacks in this house are fruit and yoghurts. (and sometimes the odd biscuits if we are out and about and pushed for time)

Get lives - you can read it and make your own decisions. we are the adults, it is on a web site aimed at children is it.

It sounds revolting actually.
