Today's letter is N. I smile when I think about or rather eat...
NUTELLA
Mmmmmmm. *salivating*
Need I say more? Nope!
Do you like Nutella? I can finish a bottle off in, say, a week. Honest. I typically dip Nilla Waffers into the jar and munch, munch, munch until I finally realize I've eaten way too much, much, much. So, starting with the letter N, what makes you smile?

PS: Refer to the blurb on the very top of my blogs sidebar to know why I am posting about what makes me smile. Go forward and smile!
I keep seeing it on the shelves. One of these days I'll try it.
ReplyDeleteYou've gotta try the amazing delight of Nutella!
Delete"Sticky-fingered students: Nutella theft hits Columbia"
ReplyDeleteThe Ivy League university's student newspaper says $5,000 in the chocolate-hazelnut spread disappears each week.
At Columbia University, where the chocolate-hazelnut spread flows freely, ongoing thefts of the large brown jars add up to $5,000 a week, according to The Columbia Spectator.
But why Nutella? Is there a black market for a dessert spread being lost at an estimated 100 pounds per day? Are students running underground creperies out of their dorm rooms? Is there a similar run on bananas?
No. The problem is that Nutella is both tasty and somewhat costly. Even at discount chains like Wal-Mart (WMT -0.20%), it fetches more than $6 per 26.5-ounce container, compared to $4 for a similar size container of Jif peanut butter. In France, citizens collectively flipped out when it was suggested that palm oil -- one of Nutella's key ingredients -- be taxed at 300%, according to France 24.
The spread is so beloved in some circles that even the $3 million settlement of a class action last year targeting claims made by Nutella's U.S. distributor, Ferrero USA, that it was good for children did little did little to diminish its standing. The sizable to-go cups of Nutella reportedly taken from Columbia dining halls and the full jars suddenly disappearing from its shelves back this up.

Interesting article, Michael!
DeleteI get the Kroger brand of Nutella and dip pertzels in it- it is SO GOOD.
ReplyDeletePretzels and Nutella makes for some tasty goodness.
DeleteNow I'm hungry. Nutella and crepes. mmm...
ReplyDeleteI had Nutella on crepes the other day. Numms!
DeleteI eat Nutella on a spoon. LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!
I'll admit, I've done that too.
DeleteMy family LOVES Nutella ... for some reason, I've never climbed on the bandwagon. But give me a bag or box of dark chocolate, and it will be gone by the end of the day. YIKES.
ReplyDeleteDark chocolate is good too! Nummy
DeleteYes, please! Nutella makes me happy. Wish we had some right now. The N thing that makes me smile is the Nickle game. My 7 year old loves to flip a nickle (or whatever coin he can find) and call heads or tails. It's so simple, but his joy in playing it always makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that. Little kids and the things that make them happy sure make me smile too!
DeleteIf you like Nutella, does that mean you're nuts?
ReplyDeleteBlessings and Bear hugs!

Very nutty! :)
DeleteMy four-year-old likes to eat Nutella in wraps. You heard that right!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what you mean by a wrap... Is it like a crepe?
DeleteA week to finidh it off...umm...that would be too much too soon for me...I do love it though :D
ReplyDeleteI rarely buy Nutella because when I do, I end up eating the whole jar with nothing but a spoon. :D
