Amazingly stupid woman will give you free Nutella

[thistlechaser]

Sometimes people are so stupid that it's painful.

Two mothers took Nutella makers to court because SHOCK! GASP! Nutella is not a health food. The mothers had blindly believed television commercials and so thought that Nutella was good to feed their kids. They were "shocked" to learn the chocolate spread was actually no different than a candy bar.

When asked why they didn't just read the product label, she said "If I stopped to read every label, I'd probably spend four to five hours in the grocery store". She claims she did it for all consumers, she didn't do it out of greed. HA.

Well, her greed could work out for you. If you bought any Nutella in the last few years, you can get a refund for it. The claim form is here, you can get a refund for up to five jars, no proof of purchase or other paperwork needed, just fill in the online form. You can get back up to 5 jars, $5 each, total of $25.

She must be the world's slowest reader.

I always read labels when I grocery shop and it's a LONG day when it takes me longer than 45 minutes to restock.

Then again, I'm also the type to take personal responsibility when I realize I've been mistaken about something, and my first reaction isn't to scream how everyone around me is a filthy, filthy, lying liar while I run for the nearest lawyer.

Y'know.

Because I'm an adult.

Though, I don't buy Nutella and wouldn't even take it free of charge for reasons relating to palm oil, refined sugar, and artificial vanilla.
Artificial vanilla (vanillin) tastes godawful when compared to--well, real vanilla.

Nocciolata (http://www.amazon.com/Nocciolata-Organic-Hazelnut-Spread-Cocoa/dp/B0016LL5DS) is the same thing, and it uses actual vanilla, no palm oil, and doesn't use refined white sugar.

Amg, I must try this even though I love Nutella. Thanks for the link!

She looked rather reading-challenged, to be honest. One of her complaints was that she had no idea that it had 200 calories per serving. You don't even have to read the whole thing to find that out! It's the first item! She's been feeding this to her kids for years and she never once looked?

Nocciolata looks good, thanks for the link!

But...that's not even 'reading' information, it's right at the top of pretty much all food labels! How..I..brain...

My mind is boggled. I read labels on anything I eat. If I don't at the grocery store, then I do at home before I eat it. Artificial sugars trigger my migraines. So I don't even have the benefit of the pretty box with FAT and CALORIES at the top. I have to read the list of ingredients. And I have to know the chemical names, because "Nutrasweet" or "Sweet&Low" or "Splenda" isn't always on the container. Saccharine, Sucralose, etc. And y'know? I don't feel my life is inconvenienced at all. But according to this lady, the can of cinnamon almonds I bought a few weeks ago, that said nowhere on the bottle "Sugar free" which is normally an easy give-away for "Not for Ian", that I immediately tasted the sucralose one the first almond and stopped...The migraine that came later, I can apparently sue over. This is an ugly precedent.

I'm with you on the boggling. She fed this stuff to her kids for years. Never once, in all that time, did she read the label. It's just... beyond belief.
