And as a reasonably smart person, I admit I'm jealous.

Nutella = delicious frosting.

Look at the script. Is this deceptive? People are imputing and projecting. Why don't we sue Coke for Things Go Better With Coke. I've been drinking Coke my whole life based on that ad, and things are not going well!

[DOG BARKING, BOY YELLING]: Mom! [MOM]: Breakfast? In this house? In the morning, I can use all the help I can get. That's why I love Nutella, a delicious hazelnut spread that's perfect on multigrain toast and even whole wheat waffles. It's a quick and easy way to give my family a breakfast they'll want to eat. And Nutella is made with simple, quality ingredients like hazelnuts, skim milk, and a hint of cocoa. They love the taste, and I feel good that they're ready to tackle the day. Nutella—breakfast never tasted this good.

I'm suing Nike. I've had a pair in my bedroom closet for 5 years, and we only Do It once in a blue moon.

I WILL NOT TAKE MONEY FROM NUTELLA! They produce a glorious product that has been consumed by generations of my family members. It's not my fault that some idiots can't read. WOWO.

hi. this is 22:11 from back on the 27th. i took quite a hit on this thread, and that's ok. i did just want to clarify that i wasn't trying to say that consumers shouldn't be responsible for knowing what goes into their bodies. my thinking that way is why i wouldn't personally choose to sue in this situation. that said, not everyone is as careful about their food as the folks responding to this thread, and i think it's helpful for those folks that there are consumer advocates who use the system to keep companies a little more honest.

also, to the particularly unkind pp, i can't say that i don't represent what's wrong with this country. I very well might for a lot of reasons (and you might too), but i don't think you pinpointed those flaws in this thread. working hard in college and serving nutella to my kids doesn't quite get there.

That said, my DD eats it many mornings on wheat toast, with a side of yogurt and/or fruit.

Are you serious? For breakfast?

I'm really sort of shocked, even after enjoying this thread so much. What in the world would make you let your child slather chocolate (and hazelnut) spread on her breakfast?

Maybe I should stop making fun of the lawsuit and actually start worrying about advertising.

Would you let your child eat Ben & Jerry's ice cream every morning - with a side of yogurt or fruit?????

I am not shocked. This is what every German kid eats every morning for the last 40 or 50 years. True story.
