This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Strange...My hazelnut spread doesnt contain that...
Just as if Nutella is just cheap shit^(Sadly it costs three times as much for half the volume. But it tastes 10 times better)
Hazelnuts have ~60℅ fat, so that spread is still 35% suagr and 35% fat overall. Definetly better than the added palm oil in in nutella, but the health difference is pretty minor.
Nutrition is so confusing. Giving broad categories such as healthy or not healthy deserves way more nuance. Sure, if someone is sitting around all day every day, going crazy on a jar of this it's usually unadvisable. But if you're out hiking for the day, or going for a day's mountain run, this would be an extremely good idea to take.
10% cocoa, 35% sugar.
Nutella prides itself on the low cocoa content, but the buttload of sugar is everywhere.
Hm...my spread (in the picture) says 60% hazelnut and 35% sugar...
of 100g,, 40g are carbohydrate of which 35g is sugar.
Aka 35%
Nuts and cocoa also contain sugars, which make up the 5%. Those are the nutritional values, which state the total content - there is already some sugar in the contents before the sugar is added.
Hazelnuts have about 4-5% sugar in them, so it maths out perfectly to 100% total with 30% added sugar.
Math aint my strong suit either.
But it clearly tastes way better and other products in the same category (piemont hazelnut spread) taste very similar.
Thus I don't care enough to not buy it. It's not healthy to eat anyway and is bought for taste dn enjoyment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Mine doesn't either, because, yanno, it isn't Nutella (it's Nudossi)? This is about Nutella.
I am communicating that there are way better spreads to buy that arent 60% sugar and taste better.
Nutella is AI slop but for bread.
Not sure if I'd trust a brand that can't spell "Milchspuren".
Italian brand that exports to Germany.
Probably not even meant for the german market but rather german speaking part of Italy and was imported.
