Nutella is fucking great.

[T-6005]

At the beginning of my 10 hour night shift, I'm eating Nutella on bread, and experiencing the magical properties. I suddenly have the intense desire to answer phones and help people get their air conditioning fixed at 4AM. I want to hop and listen to happiness and talk about rainbows with small rabbits.

It is simply that good, though.

Never had it. But off topic, there was an athlete with "Thibault" as a last name at the Special Olympics this weekend.

[coke_a_holic]

I agree wholeheartedly. To think that I only started eating it a year ago, despite being offered it far before them. Oh my god, anyone that hasn't had Nutella before better start eating some at this moment. Never wanted to answer phones, but I have hopped with rabbits and discussed rainbows. It's wonderful.

Listen to the man.

[JohnnyNemesis]

I hate the stuff, but I'm definitely in the minority. In fact, I don't even tell people that I dislike it because if I do, women will avoid me like the plague :(

[nieh]

I thought this was about Gnutella (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnutella) at first and was about to disagree with the topic. I've never actually had Nutella though. I guess I'll have to try it sometime.

[calichix]

dude nutella and mandarin oranges is bomb.

[RickyCrack]

Nutella and ICECREAM!!!!!!!

it goes good with everything.

[coke_a_holic]

On the front page, this thread looks like this:

Nutella is fucking great.
__by RickyCrack

and both times I glanced at it, I had to double take to make sure it didn't say "Nutella is fucking crack." To be fair, that still makes sense.

[khaaaaan]

I emptied a small jar of nutella in a week:( no wonder I'm so fucking fat.

Small price to pay for happiness.

[F@ BANKZ]

I used to have it daily, before I discovered mash 'n' beanz, best days of my life.

[mrconeman]

I made a thread about being a slob that sort of centered entirely around the fact that nutella is a wonderus, fantastic food source.

Well I'm SORRY if we are awesome and have our minds revolve around the same great things.

[Stranger With Candy]

Now im gonna have to buy me some more Nutella.

[mrconeman]

Well I'm SORRY
All is forgiven.
Sects?

[ilovellamas]

I had it once, and it was okay. I liked it. I haven't ever had the urge to buy it, though. I'm not really sure what the huge overwhelming obsession is with it. To me, it's about as good as peanut butter, which I also enjoy.

[killer_queen]

Nutella is fucking awesome, indeed. But unfortunately for you Thibault, you'll never enjoy it as much as I do because it tastes sooo much better when you're on your period.

Oh and, I tried peanut butter. It tastes good somehow but I got sick of it a couple of days later. Plus, it's kind of salty and I don't like it on sweet things.

[ilovellamas]

lol all food tastes better when you're on your period. Kinda makes me feel bad for guys. Except not.

There are different kindsa peanut butter, too. Some are particularly sweet and mixed with honey and other stuff. I like the more natural kinds that taste really peanuty and salty.

[mrconeman]

Speaking of both Peanut butter and chocolate spread.
Theres this weird stuff that combines them, I forgot what it's called, but its all swirly looking in the jar. It's nice too. But not as nice as either on their own.

And for peanut butter its all about smooth.

[ilovellamas]

I've had that stuff. when I was a freshman, it was just getting popular... my friends called it "sex in a jar". I was never so huge on it, probably due to my love for salty/peanuty peanut butter.

And chunks ftw.

[killer_queen]

I know that all food tastes good when you're on period but nutella is kinda special for me. I used to call it my period food.

And I know that there are different kinds. I bought the one mixed with honey and it was still salty for my tastes. Most of the people must be agreeing with me because it's not very common in Turkey. It tastes pretty good when I mixed it with more honey but I didn't want to end up being fat.

[mrconeman]

I know that all food tastes good when you're on period but nutella is kinda special for me. I used to call it my period food.
I'm never eating nutella ever again. thanks :( :( :(

[HeadAroundU]

A fresh crispy bread and Nutella is the love! I haven't had any for a long time. :(:(

[ilovellamas]

*resisting the urge to make a period joke regarding nutella...*

[Rag Doll]

I hate the stuff, but I'm definitely in the minority. In fact, I don't even tell people that I dislike it because if I do, women will avoid me like the plague :(

i hate it too. it's disgusting. =\

[Tijs]

I don't like it either, it makes me nassious*.

I'm a Duo Penotti man, do they have that in the US/Canada too?
http://www.holland-at-home.nl/images/Duo-penotti.jpg

* How am I supposed to spell that word?

[Andy]

Nautious? Nauseous? I think it's the latter. Probably.

That weird duo stuff looks curious. Only available in Holland?

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

i hate it too. it's disgusting. =\

Thank GOD, people agree with me.

Let's start some sort of underground anti-Nutella movement.

[ilovellamas]

Nauseous is correct.

I would join the anti-nutella group. Because even though I think it tastes okay, I hate how everyone is so obsessed with it.

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

It reminds me of the Star Trek: Next Generation episode where Riker brings the game back to the ship, and everyone's addicted to it.

Yes, I compare things to Star Trek.

[mrconeman]

@llamas
Name it The anti-nutella trupunx society if thats the reasoning.

[Tizzalicious]

To me, it's about as good as peanut butter, which I also enjoy.

NOTHING is as good as peanutbutter!

[Nina]

I haaattee that stuff. I also dont like peanut butter much.
All this fatty stuff seems so American to me. Does anyone eat that flutty marshmallow stuff? How does it taste?

[Bazza]

Crunchy peanut butter stuffed inside a toasted pitta bread, my snack of the moment!

[Sunny]

nutella is magical. magical. i don't mind peanut butter in certain contexts(reese's, pb&j, on celery sticks)... but nutella rules supreme.
and American? hrm. funny. it's such an European thing to me, and few of my USian friends know what it is...

i'm actually gonna go and have some on crispy bread. yes. <3

and marshmallow fluff is fucking revolting. euuugh.

[ilovellamas]

NOTHING is as good as peanutbutter!

haha! I felt so bad I couldn't afford to send you the jar of peanut butter :( I don't know why I ever thought it was a good idea... it would've cost like 8 euros to mail, haha. Dumb. On occasion, though, I do really enjoy peanut butter, when it's crunchy and not sugary. :)

And Nutella? American? It's from Italy. :P And it's very unpopular in the US... way more common in Europe! My roommate was the only person I knew in the US who really enjoyed the stuff, and most people don't know about it (I didn't know about it until less than a year ago). And peanut butter is from Mexico. :)

This is what Wiki says about it:
In its home country of Italy, Nutella has become a cultural and social phenomenon. Many books have been written about it, and it is the core of a celebrated scene in the movie Bianca, by the Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti, in which a character relieves his post-coital anxieties by eating from a gigantic Nutella jar.

Nutella is also very popular in the rest of Europe, Canada, in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Brazil, and South Africa, mostly with children and teenagers. This is less true in the United States, where the product was only available as an expensive import until the 2000s. In the United States, basketball star Kobe Bryant was a former spokesman for Nutella, having grown up in Italy. Nutella is briefly mentioned in Chloé Doutre-Roussel's "The Chocolate Connoisseur", which includes an anecdote of her mother flying into Mexico with several jars and smearing it on her face to convince a Customs Officer that it was a facial mask, and not a banned food product.

Oh, and to me, marshmallow fluff is sick. Ew. Like, I have trouble swallowing it without feeling like I'm gonna barf. haha.

[Tizzalicious]

I always thought it was German. Probably because we have these really annoying dubbed commercials where the mouths just go everywhere and the text goes somewhere else. And they're German originally, or I thought they were. They are the same as the Kinder Surprise//Chocolate eggs.

[PilZ-E]

I've only had Nutella once at a Crepe place. I think I like it, it was quite a while ago. My best friend pretty much adores it though.

I used to love peanut butter. But in the last year or two I stopped liking it. Unless it's with green apples, I can't stand peanut butter and jelly sandwiches any more.

[T-6005]

Nauseous is correct.

I would join the anti-nutella group. Because even though I think it tastes okay, I hate how everyone is so obsessed with it.
I know barely anyone who's "obsessed" with Nutella. Man, you make it sound like some sellout band.

I like Nutella, though, because they can actually play their instruments!

[Tizzalicious]

That was my intent. :P I was intentionally exaggerating, because I thought an anti-nutella group was funny.

Yeah, they also write their own songs, unlike peanut butter.

But for real, not obsessed?

Fluff is awesome, you're all sick.

pps. Marshmalow fluff is not meant to be eaten on its own.

[ilovellamas]

pps. Marshmalow fluff is not meant to be eaten on its own.

This post sounds so faggy. Maybe it's just the use of "fluff". And then "eaten" regarding fluff. And that Ricky posted. hehe.

[nieh]

What kind of stuff are you supposed to use Nutella on? Why is everyone comparing it to peanut butter? It seems like it's supposed to be more of a snack/desert thing to me while peanut butter can actually be meal worthy in sandwich form.

I remember kind of liking marshmallow fluff plain when I was a kid but never really got it that often. There's not many things I can imagine it tasting good with. I've never liked fluffanutters, what else is there?

[ilovellamas]

I usually eat PB as a snack. On some celery, on some toast, on a spoon... no not really on a spoon. But I never use it as a meal thing anymore.

[Andy]

It's a bread spread isn't it?

[mrconeman]

It's all about bread and toast. wtf at anything else.

[nieh]

I have some now. It's alright but if this is all there is to it then I really don't understand all the love.

[ilovellamas]

Don't tell me you don't love Ants on a Log...

[mrconeman]

Nutella > Peanut butter.
It's nice and all, but I think I like it for the fact that its so simple to prepare.

edit: what the fuck is that?

[coke_a_holic]

It's a celery "log" with peanut butter and raisin "ants."

[Tizzalicious]

I really need to try that sometime. Even though it looks gross.

The ultimate peanut butter food will always be rice crackers though.

[T-6005]

Nutella>the lives of people who hate Nutella.

[Andy]

It's a celery "log" with peanut butter and raisin "ants."

And that's the most disgusting thing I've heard today.

[khaaaaan]

I always thought it was German. Probably because we have these really annoying dubbed commercials where the mouths just go everywhere and the text goes somewhere else. And they're German originally, or I thought they were. They are the same as the Kinder Surprise//Chocolate eggs.

I'm convinced they're German. We have the same commercials.

[Nina]

It's all about bread and toast. wtf at anything else.

seriously. wtf!

edit: I knew it was European, but I consider it something that Americans would eat. Fatty, chocolate, peanut butter...hell, Americans combine chocolate and peanut butter, the fattiest thing in the world. That's all I meant.

[ilovellamas]

I really need to try that sometime. Even though it looks gross.

The ultimate peanut butter food will always be rice crackers though.

I like it without the raisins. The raisins are usually too sweet to go with the celery and PB. But I used to eat that a lot when I was a kid.

And peanut butter is quite unfatty if you get the kind that in very natural and is mostly just crushed nuts. I prefer something in between. I like it to spread well, but not taste like fat. Blech.

[Nina]

Uh, nuts are extremely fatty, Brianna. They also have many calories.

[ilovellamas]

As for the fat aspect, in the nuts themselves, almost all the fat is unsaturated, so that is a very positive thing. Unsaturated fats are broken down very quickly and do not pose any problem, plus they lower blood cholesterol levels... The saturated fats in peanuts are very minimal, a max of a couple grams per serving. And who really eats multiple servings at once? haha. And for calories... there are about 150 calories in one serving, which is less than a tenth of most people's daily requirements. There are really so many healthy aspects to peanuts... tons of protein, fiber, vitamin E, various B vitamins, etc... I mean, of course it's unhealthy if you eat peanut butter every day, but as a substance in itself, it's got a lot of health benefits.

[Sunny]

dude, nuts are really good for you. like, actually lower your cholesterol kinda good. higher fat content doesn't mean something is bad for you. lots of nutritionists recommend them as a part of your diet, because they have "good fat". like fish.

[nieh]

Keep in mind though, a serving of peanut butter is only 2 tablespoons, it's very easy to use more than that. In a single serving, you normally get:
170-200 calories (depending on the brand)
20-25% of your daily value of unsaturated fat
15% of your daily saturated fat

All from just two tablespoons. There's tons of proteins and vitamins in it though too so it's not like it's junkfood like the Nutella stuff is.

This is true. But like I said, you don't eat it every day... or at least I'd hope not. And 2 tablespoons is a lot! When I eat it, I usually use one, maybe 1.5 tbsp. And 200 calories still isn't that much if you don't eat tons of other food with lots of calories the rest of the day.

And unsaturated fat is generally a healthy thing.

[nieh]

I actually just stumbled onto this stuff (http://www.smartbalance.com/omega3.html) last night. It's pretty good.

[ilovellamas]

mmm that sounds tasty. One of these days, I have to stop at the health food store and pick up some PB. The kind they have in grocery stores in Austria is like pure sugar and fat. :(

[Sunny]

oooh that's pretty sweet. i usually use trader joe's peanut butter (no hydrogenated oil, weee), but i'll give this stuff a try. and oh boy... mayo that's good for you? awesome.

[nieh]

Yeah. The peanut butter stuff is great for me because I'm kind of supposed to be taking fishoil but I don't because I have trouble with pills and I'd have to take like 6 per day.

[sKratch]

Mmm so I didn't get to come to nuts' rescue. I'll just repeat that they're healthy for you because they have good fat and pretend no one's said it yet. If you get really good peanut butter it will have a layer of peanut oil on top of it that you have to stir in.

[MindlessSelfIndulgent]

I swear to this. <3

the trader joes peanut butter i mentioned has that magical oil layer on top. yay!

Everytime I see that in the supermarket I think "Danes are so weird". And there you are.

And wtf, 2 tablespoons of peanutbutter? That's SO much! That'd be more peanutbutter than bread!

[ilovellamas]

haha that's what I was thinking, about PB.

On that note, I just had two small PB&J sandwiches. Absolutely delicious.

[sKratch]

Umm your... face... your face is gonna come to my nuts' rescue!~!!111`!$ lozlz pranksW#ED!

[Sunny]

i'm gonna try pb + apricot jam on toasted whole grain bread. i have a feeling it might be pretty damn good.

That sounds really good... I love apricot jam. When I have toast with breakfast, apricot jam is my favorite on the toast.

We have SO many food threads all the time... seriously, we're a bunch of fatties.

wtf is that sprinkles? o_O

[ilovellamas]

Whoa... that's what it looks like. wtf?

[Sunny]

dude someone told me they put whipped cream on wonderbread... and sprinkles on top of it. they call it "fairy bread".

thinking about it makes me wanna throw up in my mouth. :/

[Tizzalicious]

Yeah, it's sprinkles...we have all kinds of sprinkles :P The chocolate ones being the most common, but then there's the ones MSI just posted, and some different kinds. We have so much stuff to put on bread. Let's see if I can find pics...

Chocolate sprinkles...

edit: to sunny
Oh my god ew. That's horrible. One time, I was really depressed about my job, and I bought a container of coolwhip and a bag of gummi bears... for some reason, being really depressed made me okay with dipping the bears in the cream. But still, that's nothing compared to... whipped cream on BREAD?? And wonder bread at that... wow.

and tizz, that is insanely gross and wtf weird. :P You people are psycho!

[mrconeman]

I don't get the freak outs...that looks pretty good to me.

[Sunny]

i can't handle coolwhip. it freaks me out. i left it out once (yes, i'm awful) and it.. uh.. dried. like plaster. it was snow-white and hard as rock. GROSS I TELL YOU.

[nieh]

Dude, that's awesome. I have to try that sometime.

[khaaaaan]

You know what's good? Buttered white bread with Nesquik strewn over it. That shit's delicious. And gross. And delicious.

edit: I knew it was European, but I consider it something that Americans would eat. Fatty, chocolate, peanut butter...hell, Americans combine chocolate and peanut butter, the fattiest thing in the world. That's all I meant.

I'm kind of annoyed with that little discussion above. I said it was fatty, not unhealthy.

All those images of the sweet stuffs...AAAHHHH. too much sugar to handle for me!

[SkunkIt]

It's the same hazelnut chocolate the use in Ferrero Rocher chocolates. I rarely eat it cause when I do, I either get sick or feel bad for eating chocolate on bread.
