Nah, there’s stuff out there that’s better. Just try out a few.

Nutella is the holy one! There's other good stuff and I don't say Nutella is better, it's just in a one-and-only category: if you want Nutella, you buy Nutella, if you want some chocolate cream, you buy what you like best

I get that, although Nutella has gotten worse in my opinion since they increased the milk powder content relative to the hazelnut content a few years back. So even Nutella isn’t really Nutella anymore in my opinion, therefore I can just as well buy something with more hazelnut centered flavour.

I am one of the Nutella buyers but even so I would mention that the flavour varies wildly amongst different countries to the point that I now can say I like it from very specific places. Just thought I'd mention that each of us could actually have a slightly different version and not like it as much.

Ah, that would explain some things. Thx.

Forget the name but one with the squirrel on top is very good.

one with the squirrel on top

Maybe you're thinking of Nutino?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Interesting, that looks good too, but no that's not the one. I looked it up it's Nocciolotta.
