Evidently causing near riots in some stores

quote:

Chaos erupted in supermarkets across France as shoppers brawled trying to get their hands on discounted Nutella.

Fights — and even riots — were reported in multiple parts of the country after the Intermarché chain began a promotion for the chocolate and hazelnut spread Thursday. More than a million 950-gram pots were slashed in price by 70% from $5.85 to $1.75.

My kids love that stuff. I don't think I'd fight someone to save $4 on it though

I have twin 16 year old cousins that live in Paris. My mom went to visit them this past fall. She told me between the 2 of them they eat 2-32oz Nutellas a week. So I can confirm that Parisians love them some Nutella, at least my 2 cousins do.

The pric before discount seemed terribly high, but I'm not hip to Hazelnut spread pricing.

Funny how history plays out. The French were awakened by Nutella.

If someone had started a rumor in 1940 that the Germans were buying up discounted Nutella, Hitler may have never taken most of Europe.

Before I click on this are these French Africans, French Arabs, or the worst of the worst French Socialists fighting over the Nutella?
