Did anyone else get a free sample of Nutella in the mail?

How did I get so lucky? Yummy! (Plus a dollar off coupon!).

1. That ain't Nutella

Don't eat it. It's a ploy by the Europeans. Eat peanut butter like a good Amurcan

[yuiyoshida]

3. It could have been

Vegemite. But thankfully, its NOT!!

[NightWatcher]

6. Those sneaky, disgusting Aussies....

[yuiyoshida]

7. Maybe we should send them Nutella !

[hlthe2b]

2. Oh, my.. that woud be like sending me crack! (if I were crack-addicted)

Heavens, I love that stuff and have managed to avoid it for a year ,now. Evil, evil mail campaign!

[yuiyoshida]

8. I found a page where they will send you a free sample.

oh ya know what? It was for New Zealand Residents only.. meh. How do they rate??

[RebelOne]

17. Yes, it is totally addicting. I have some in my refrigerator

that I have been ignoring. I know if I give in and eat it, I will be addicted again.

4. I am eagerly awaiting my sample of Colorado Budella

Welcome to DU btw

[MuseRider]

5. There is a big jar of that stuff in my pantry.

I have never tasted it, will not ever taste it, refuse to be tempted. I am afraid of it. Seriously. I sounds heavenly.

10. Your willpower will disappear if you EVER indulge....

I've avoided mall cinnabons for the same reason.

[MuseRider]

12. :-)

I have finally learned in my older age that if I don't taste I will be OK. I have tremendous will power if I never indulge. I have indulged too much in my life and now have a nasty old lady pot belly that is killing me trying to get rid of it. I will die without the taste of Nutella ever crossing my taste buds. Hopefully that means I will die without the old lady pot belly but I am losing that battle

13. If you go to Paris, you will need something to block the intense smell of nutella crepes from street

vendors... That's where the EVIL started for me, many years ago (before it was widely available in the US)....

[MuseRider]

15. Funny you should say that.

My youngest son was in Paris doing a recording session and he is the one who came home with that jar. He brought it all the way from Paris. He, of course, really does not do lots of grocery shopping so he did not know it was available here. Still, there it sits smirking at me. I grab my mid section and walk right past it.

16. I went on a weeks long binge after return that left me wanting NOTHING else to eat!

Seriously... I even learned how to make crepes, but pretty soon, it was just scoops out of the jar!

Tell your son to avoid Costco.... they have the mega sized jars in a heavily discounted 2-pak.

[MuseRider]

19. I will pass that along.

He is skinny and seems to be able to eat anything.

I have a picture in my mind of you (and I have no clue what you look like so I was nice) sitting in a corner with your legs crossed, a frantic rather paranoid look in your eyes with a large jar of Nutella. One hand is raised toward your stained mouth with a glob of the delicious spread dripping out between your fingers.

[hlthe2b]

22. Yup, that's about it... (though of course looking quite gorgeous, nonetheless--LOL)

Honestly, I'd get sick of it by the end of the day and wake up craving it the next.... Evil, evil, stuff!

[RebelOne]

18. Yup, I also have the old lady pot belly

that I am trying to get rid of by not eating tempting goodies like Nutella. But you do not want to die without at least tasting it. And you will die with a smile on your face.

[MuseRider]

20. :-)

I will make that a death bed request!

[Arugula Latte]

26. Come on. Just one little spoonful. One little spoonful won't hurt, now will it?

[MuseRider]

28. :-)

You are so bad!

[petronius]

9. Dunno yet, but I'm suddenly eager to go check the mailbox!

I had a pretty awesome nutella-filled doughnut a few days ago, and my taste buds are clamoring for more...

[Wait Wut]

11. Why did you post this?

I have to stop at the store on the way home. I just added it to my list along with English muffins.

I've been trying to break the habit.

[yuiyoshida]

14. Well either you buy them now ...

Or get it free in the mail! Don't open the mail bo...... TOO LATE.

[trof]

21. Looks like you got some on your fingernail.

[yuiyoshida]

23. hehe...

Not my hand! When I went looking for a sample photo of a packet, that popped up. I would never paint my nails like that..MORE Glitter!

[trof]

24. You and Miz t. She's the glitz and glitter queen.

[astral]

25. i didnt know what nutella was so checked in wikipedia

in THE U.S. it contains soy. where is the outrage that the u.s. has lower standards for food quality than other countries? i realize this isnt the thread for that but i found it too interesting to not post a comment about it.

BTW i am eating potato chips for breakfast so no self- righteousness here... BUT i did oatmeal w.raisins and cinnamon yesterday...

[Chan790]

27. No, but I already have an institutional jar. 5kg. 11lbs.

It's too tall for the shelves in my fridge, costs $80. Money well spent.



(This isn't me. I cribbed this picture off Amazon for its value comparing the size of the jar to a person's head.)
