This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Yeah as a Norwegian I've always been a bit weirded out when thinking about chocolate spread for more than two seconds. Tbf, I feel like you're making it out to be more normal than it is (but idk how it is in Sweden or Denmark). Among adults I very very rarely see chocolate spread on bread. Among children however... Not great for their nutrition. I think most parents think "better they eat something than nothing" but I'd argue maybe that's not always the case.
On another note: holy crap the regional chocolate spread (nugatti) is like 10 times better than nutella. Nutella households are weird.
To be fair I definitely think Nutella used to have better ratios because it used to taste better.
I make my own now with far more hazelnuts
Never considered that possibility. Do you have a recipe? Would love to try.
I can't remember which one I used last but if you look up a "healthy" one it'll usually give you a better ratio of nuts to sugar. There are tons of recipes out there for homemade Nutella, so it's kind of a process of trial and error to play with the ratios to find what you like best
I find the homemade stuff tastes way better since it's more like hazelnut butter with chocolate
Big agree on Nugatti. It's so much better. I feel similarly about kvikk lunsj over kitkat.
I liked nugatti zero, but apparently it doesn't exist anymore?
There are more varieties of hazelnut chocolate spread in Germany than there are stars in the sky. Not all of them, but most of them, are better than Nutella.
some are also hilariously cheaper, i just checked and the store brand here is literally 70% the cost of nutella..
yeah, it's more a "we finally got them to eat something. calories are calories dammit" on our end.

Fuck no. That shit is vile
I'm pretty sure a little sugar is better than starving to death.
Yeah I mean I agree, and I don't judge parents for "giving in". I was a really difficult kid myself when it comes to food.
