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.

Y'know, people always talk about how unhealthy kids' cereals are, but I've looked at the labels, and whether you judge them by calories alone or by Weight Watchers points (both previous version and current version), most kids' cereals cost less calories and points than most "healthy" cereals.

Sure, a bowl of Cheerios is better than a bowl of Lucky Charms, but the Lucky Charms cost less points/calories than the bowl of "healthy" Kashi cereal. Not to mention the fact that a lot of cereals marketed as being healthy have just as much sugar in them as the kids' cereals.

The Nutella thing made me laugh, though. That stuff really is spreadable candy. At least peanut butter has enough protein in it to satisfy food cravings for a while. (I can go a long time on just a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.)

I generally do not buy boxed sugary breakfast cereal of any sort, even if they claim to be healthy. You are right, even the "grown-up" cereals taste like candy!
