On her television show Everyday Italian, Food Network host Giada De Laurentiis once told a story about how her school asked her mother to stop making her Nutella sandwiches for lunch because the other children were jealous of the hazelnut and chocolate spread. Like, so much so that it was causing a disturbance.
Well, De Laurentiis’s classmates have nothing on the French, who have sent their country into a state of chaos because Nutella is currently 75% off at Intermarche, a French grocery chain. Grocery stores basically looked like the beaches of Normandy.
Brawls broke out in French supermarkets as shoppers scrambled to get their hands on discounted jars of Nutella. https://t.co/Gihq90zIgV pic.twitter.com/SrhzZpAUlq
