Nutella in a chocolate bar format - have they gone too far?

Isn't Nutella one of those things that was invented by the Nazis like Fanta and Twitter?

Ferrero were a client in a previous job of mine, and they were very proud of the fact that the majority of the planet's hazelnut crop was bought and processed by them. 

They use 25% of the world's hazelnuts supply, apparently.

Isn't Nutella one of those things that was invented by the Nazis like Fanta and Twitter?

It was created by Alba baker Pietro Ferrero in 1946 as a cheap chocolate substitute due to the scarcity of cocoa after the war (Alba is in Piedmont, the centre of Italy's hazelnut farming industry). However, it was a modern recreation of Gianduja, a chocolate hazelnut paste created in Piedmont during the Napoleonic wars due to the cocoa shortages caused by the French blockades on Italian ports. Ferrero's version used much less cocoa and was bulked up with palm oil instead of chocolate.

Almost every chocolate spread tastes better than Nutella (pronounced New Teller). Even supermarket brands. Hotel Chocllolat chocolate spread is delicious, although costs a bomb obvs. We should not use Nutella (pronounced Noo Tellah) to mean generic chocolate spread! Better ones are available!

And also because it tastes of hazelnut which anything that is widely used in products and advertised as chocolate spread should not do.

I have no idea if the idea of Nutella was by The Nazi Party of Germany but I would hope whoever was responsible gets their comeuppance in some sort of trial.

Last Christmas a coworker brought a chocolate panettone to the office. It had ersatz Nutella in. It was rank.

"I have to say, this news is absolutely disgusting. I wouldn't put it past Nutella to start offering these obscene treats in multipack format neither!"

Who the fuck is going around buying these nutellas?

I feel like I should wait in a shop until someone tries to buy a nutella and then stand behind them saying "I suppose you think that's good, do you? I s'pose you think it's a bitta tasty alright, yeah? S'pose you think that's what a person might just do, just pop in the shop and get some nutella. You are worse than paedophiles. You are worse than ghosts."

Nutella is a thing like Ed Sheeran (HA HA I'M EVERETT TRUE! I LIKE LISTENING TO TRAP MUSIC! PULL MY BEARD, LITTLE GIRL) I mean it's something that's meant to be good and popular but I've never met anyone that actually likes it.

When do these things happen? Why does everyone go along with it, thinking that it must be good.

And while I'm here, why do we have new ways of pronouncing IKEA now, while I'm here? Who decided that? We're going to say "Ickier" now, everyone. Everyone: "Yes, brilliant, it will feel more good to say that like that". It's like vaping, or that fella who was on Vic and Bob.
