www.foodandwine.com/news/twenty-tons-nutella-kinder-eggs-stolen"Police are on the hunt for a group of thieves with a sweet tooth after a refrigerated trailer containing 20 tons of Nutella, Kinder Surprise eggs, and an assortment of other chocolate treats disappeared from the German town of Neustadt over the weekend. “Anyone offered large quantities (of chocolate) via unconventional channels should report it to the police immediately," a statement from police read..." Who is traveling amongst us? Who has that kind of chocolate craving? Where the heck do you sell that much black market Nutella? And can I get some?

I don't like Nutella either so I'd have no problem turning it down. But, really? The police think sweets-loving folks will report this? No way! They'll be hiding and hoarding all they can!

LOL! I asked DD if she made a trip to Germany this weekend. (She was at a fundraiser.) She grinned when I showed her this, and said "it wasn't me, Mom! And, where would I hide that much Nutella?"

Me either. I loathe Nutella. I'm with you. It's just chocolate-flavored corn syrup. Blech.

All hazelnut flavored anything. Don't even get me started on hazelnut coffee. I had a boss who would swill that stuff and I am still surprised I never barfed all over his office. I can smell that shit a mile away.

the hazelnut part, I can deal with. I used to drink hazelnut coffee too, except now everywhere you can only find it as syrup. that's gross to me. i don't put sugar in my coffee, either. as if I wasn't queasy enough from dinner.

I like Nutella, especially crepes with Nutella, strawberries and whipped cream.

Ugh, I've never had Nutella, my life is so boring. Or maybe I'm missing out big time?? For years, I thought Nutella was a "healthy" alternative to peanut butter or for those allergic to peanuts. I had never tasted it. Then one day I was going to try making an appetizer that called for using Nutella. Bought it, tasted it......... omg....... this is just an excuse for feeding a chocolate addiction! I think I bought that small jar of Nutella 3 years ago and 75% of that jar is still on my shelf.
