OK so what you’re saying is that I need to send you some *real* Nutella. I just need an address my friend, and a jar (or really a drinking glass full…do you like Shrek?) is all yours. It’s still pretty sweet though….

As for the plushies and furries, I will sleep so much worse tonight knowing this. And I will now stop watching CSI Las Vegas here, just in case that episode is coming up.

And the puppies dislike for licking, let’s just…um…never mind.

Surprised so many dislike nutella, but according my sources, they make a couple of different formulas supposedly reflecting national tastes, further south the recipe is creamy and gets firmer like peanut butter further north.Allegedly Germany is the number one consumer of Nutella even over Italy, and there the formula is firm, and accounts for the FR Kinder line of chocolates.also.

Surely not everyone enjoys it (I think it’s probably a love or hate thing), but I think you’ll see from the sheer numbers of Nutella lovers in the round-up that a lot of people do rather enjoy it–including most of Europe where it’s eaten like peanut butter (which is just starting to be introduced here on a large scale).

Don’t worry Sara, I still love you too. Not everyone was blessed with a sickeningly sweet tooth. I can understand that. But please don’t lick the puppies. That freaks them out.
