Nutella Dreams or Nightmare?

Today, I went shopping and as I walked past an end display I saw it… I had heard stories from Ken but I did not fully comprehend the gravity of it all. There, sitting on the shelf, was several 3KG (6 1/2 pound) jars of Nutella creme packaged in Christmas ribbons and packaging!! I wondered how the shelf was holding up under all that weight! For anyone not familiar with Nutella, it is a hazelnut and chocolate creme mix very similar to peanut butter but WAY better! The French eat it with EVERYTHING! Crepes and Nutella, bread and Nutella, apples and Nutella, waffles and Nutella, bubble gum and Nutella, steak and Nutella… you get the idea!
I sat like a deer in headlights, in the middle if the aisle, wondering about this jar.
Can one REALLY EAT that much Nutella?
Should I buy it?
Where do you store that?
Where would *I* store it?
How long would it take to go through that?
Should I buy it?
How many of those do they sell?
Should I buy it?
Are they for stores and restaurants or for home use?
Should I buy it?
Are you truly sick by the time you get to the bottom?
Should I try and see?
WOW! Only 19 Euro?
Should I buy it?
By the time you get to the bottom do you about have to crawl INTO the jar to get to the last of the Nutella?
Do I want to buy it and see?
At 6 1/2 pounds isn’t that the same as the human head?
How would you go about testing that theory?
It is certainly AS BIG AS the human head!!!!!
In the end, I passed on the offer but as I sit here scraping the last of the only jar I have… I sure wish I hadn’t!!!
