Not poisonous. Just doesn't sound like a very healthy breakfast
for children (or adults). Toast with a chocolate spread?

Nutella is mostly a nut butter, contains some small amount of
chocolate... just like goober is mostly peanut butter that contains
some small amount of concord grape jelly. We don't like peanut
butter, instead we have almond butter.

Does that mean only faggots and liars eat peanut butter?

The jar of Nutella I bought a couple years ago had no hazelnut taste whatsoever.
The chocolate, if it really was chocolate was quite substandard; terrible stuff
as far as my taste buds go.

What kind of peanut butter are you buying that has grape jelly in it? I just
buy the smooth variety and then smear whatever jam or jelly happens to be in
the refrigerator on the other slice of bread. Slap them together, pour a
glass of milk, and enjoy.

Technically, you could call it a "nut butter" - it has some nuts in it and you can spread it on stuff. OTOH, what kind of nut butter is mostly sugar? Nutella in the US is nearly 60% sugar. My guess is that European Nutella has somewhat less sugar.

You're right: 50% sugar in Dutch Nutella. See the pictu

This site has an interesting photo of a Nutella jar will with the
proportionate amounts of its ingredients. There is a little more
hazelnut that cocoa, but the two of them combined make up only about 25%
of the total. Most of the rest is palm oil and sugar.

It is not mostly sugar. It is closer to 40% sugar. The next major
ingredient is palm oil

I have had Nutella in Canada and in Europe and never noticed a difference.

I saw that Nutella commercial when I was getting ready to go to work
this morning. Immediately thought about this this thread.

Another commercial I wonder about is for a product called Go-Gurt. It's
yogurt that comes in a tube which you freeze and put in a kid's
lunchbox. By the time lunch rolls around it will be thawed. Do kids
really want yogurt in their lunchboxes?

You sure couldn't tell by looking at a jar of Nutella; it looks like
chocolate. Fact is, it's mostly sugar and palm oil, then you get some
hazelnuts, skim milk, cocoa, soy lecithin and artificial vanilla made
from soy.

LOL I sometimes see jars of swirled PB and grape jelly at the store, I
never noticed the brand. Seems to me it's geared towards kids.

Not if they knew what's in it:
"Berry Ingredients: Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Low Fat Milk, Sugar,
Modified Corn Starch. Contains 1% or less of: Kosher Gelatin,
Tricalcium Phosphate, Vegetable and Fruit Juice (for color), Potassium
Sorbate Added to Maintain Freshness, Carrageenan, Natural Flavor,
Vitamin A Acetate, Vitamin D3. Cherry Ingredients: Cultured

I love "Added to Maintain Freshness".

Carrot sticks or a bag of those shaved "baby" carrots, maybe with some
celery sticks... I somehow can't imagine children really craving them
for their lunch. Then again, I've never had children. I do know how
I'd have reacted as a child if my mother had packed such things for my
lunch. Can you say "cringe"?

FWIW, my mother did tell me she'd never tasted yogurt and couldn't
imagine liking it so, 2019 Go-Gurt advertising aside, I was spared her
ever trying to make me take yogurt for lunch.

I *do* sometimes use plain yogurt to cook with.

I have never seen it in a store here, but I do remember seeing it at
breakfast buffets at American motels.

LOL I've been in a few American Motels/Hotels (no comment from the
peanut gallery, please!) and I've never seen anything like that combo PB
and Grape Jelly jar at a breakfast buffet.

Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage in steam tables, yes. Replenished
frequently. Waffle batter in a pitcher and a waffle iron with
instructions on how to use it. Some places even have hash browns or
something like potatoes O'Brien on the steam table. There were always
different types of bread and a toaster, bagels and muffins. Sometimes
cold pastries. Little boxes of cold cereal. Dispensers for coffee,
milk, tea, juice, water, etc. I never once saw a jar of peanut butter,
much less peanut butter with grape jelly, at any one of them. There
were, of course, packets of butter and jelly for the bread and toast.

Come to think it it, there was no Nutella, either.

Maybe today, kids are bought up different. I was well into adulthood
before I every tasted yogurt, but now, there are many varieties in the
store. Must sell, they give it plenty of shelf space.

Or lazy parents. I don't always want the type of jelly or proportion
they have. I'd like to make my own choices .

What on earth do they put in their bread?

I ate yoghurt every day as a child.

I used to hear about yogurt in Three Stooges programs, but never saw it
for sale here until I went to university. There was not much selection
then, just plain, a few fruit flavoured or fruit in the bottom. Now they
have Swiss, Greek and Balkan styles, multiple branads and multiple
flavours. My wife prefers Balkan style and gets Vanilla for me.

I didn't know there were western countries that didn't eat yogurt
much.

It depends on how you do your calculations. How did you do yours? I did my calculations by weight. My guess is that American Nutella has more sugar in it than Canadian and European Nutella.

A serving of Nutella has a weight of 37g of which, 21g is sugar. I have read reports that Nutella is 60 percent sugar. That basis for my calculation is the average of 60% and 56.8%, which comes out to "nearly 60 percent."

What numbers are you using - or are you guessing?

You can buy it here with grape or strawberry in it. Smucker's makes it. It's
called Goober.

Angela ate the Gogurt when she was really little. When she got older, she
either took leftovers in a thermos or some baby carrots with hummus, maybe
an apple, or a salad with beans and olives.

America (apart from ethnic enclaves) up until at least the mid 1970s.

I never tasted yogurt until I went to college in 1975. I can't recall
seeing it in the stores in the Detroit suburbs where I grew up (but
it was more than 40 years ago, so I think my memory gets a pass on
that).

I never had it either until well into adulthood, and I grew up in the 70s
and 80s.

Yup. When we got back from Japan, Charlotte hated the school lunches.
They were too 'different' from what she'd been eating for the past 7
years. We packed her up stuff she liked.


Charlotte was pretty popular to sit with at lunch because you never
knew what would be in her bento box and she'd share tastes about. Her
thermos was filled with dashi miso soup with little bits of green onion
or chives for example. Go-gurt was popular then so I'd get it at times
and add one.

Might be area dependent. I recall my mom getting it in the late 70's
at the store.
