I used to like Nutella, but 5 months after I tried it, I hated it.  >:(

I fucking love Nutella.

Bad day? Console yourself with Nutella. Great day? Celebrate with some Nutella.

Just eat the damn Nutella!
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

Oddly enough, the aforementioned ad never directly stated that Nutella was in any way healthy. They could've had a chance in winning this case if they had actually pointed this out.

It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

I think them might have mentioned it but were quickly overruled by populous majority. I've never eaten Nutella but I have tried it. It's not to my tastes.

Saying that ad claims Nutella is healthy is like saying bikinis make girls sexy.

Bikinis don't make girls sexy. They make sexy girls sexy; fat hoes are still fat hoes.

I die a little inside when cases like these actually succeed.

That said, NUTELLA ON WAFFLES, ERRY DAY. AWESOME BREAKFAST.

My girlfriend eats this stuff all the time. Never tried it myself, looks kinda weird to me.

I had no idea that anyone thought of it as healthy, though. The only reason she eats it is because it has less calories than other stuff.

It's like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but instead it's Who Wants Fried Chicken? I do.

Nutella is very tasty...
...but let's not kid ourselves, that thing is about as healthy as a snickers bar.  If you have it for breakfast, that's a sugar high all the way through third period in school, I guarantee it.
