Nutella Commercial

[mission to lose]

I just saw a Nutella Commercial on TV. (Another item not allowed in our house-never tried it until a few years ago--- relatives from Europe came to visit us and the little kids brought a bottle with them---apparently they were so addicted to it they had to bring it all the way over from France with them!!!LOL)

SO-the Concerned Mom on the commercial goes on how she gets her kids to eat healthy food by using Nutella to make it more kid friendly.

WOW- 2 TBSP = 22g carbs. 21g sugar.

Tried it back then---WOW, it was KICK AZZ GOOD! That is why it is prohibited in this household...probably more addictive than peanut butter.

Re: Nutella Commercial

And, if I recall the commercial correctly, they spread it on "whole-grain" bread....

Re: Nutella Commercial

How about they slap an "organic" label on there to make it even more good for you...

Re: Nutella Commercial

mmmmm Nutella is awesome. this subject is currently going on in my baby message board, hahaha.

i've only ever bought two containers of it in my life...both I ate by myself with a spoon. and used my fingers to get what I couldn't with the spoon. and licked the rest that I could from the top of the jar...

that's why i've only ever bought two jars of it before...even back then i knew it was a trigger food for me. it triggered me to eating it all up.

Did you hear that!!!

"It helps keep them going"----Yeah because they are strung out on a SUGAR BUZZ!

"Spread Some Energy"

Re: Nutella Commercial

I think "lies, lies, lies" may be a little overboard. Nothing in that commercial is not true, although obviously that doesn't mean it's good for you. Gram for gram, Nutella does have the same fat, carbs and protein as a bowl of Fruit Loops, which is marketed as being low in fat and having natural fruit flavors.

Marketing isn't generally lies, lies, lies; it's probably more accurate to say they're selective with the truth they choose to share with you. They are ads, after all!

I was in such as hurry today, I forgot to have my Nutella breakfast to "help keep me going" and to "spread some energy."

And then at the grocery store I saw something that really blew me away!!!


CHOCOLATE CHEERIOS!
What is this world coming to???

Well if it is Cheerios...IT HAS TO BE GOOD FOR YOU!

Dear mission to lose,

Slapshot has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - Nutella
Commercial - in the Main Atkins Diet Forum forum of Atkins Diet.

This thread is located at:

http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/main-atkins-diet-forum/84572-nutella-commercial-new-post.html

Here is the message that has just been posted:
***************
Frankly, I think the absence of the word "sugar" in the commercial is quite
misleading since the ingredients are: "Sugar, Modified Palm Oil, Hazelnuts,
Cocoa, Skim Milk, Reduced Minerals Whey (from Milk)Soy Lecithin: an Emulsifier,
Vanillin: an Artificial Flavor."

It's not as if the commercial says Nutella "includes" hazelnuts, etc. It says
it "contains" hazelnuts, etc., thus implying that there are no other
ingredients. Pretty shady since sugar is apparently first on the list, followed
by modified Palm Oil.

There may also be other replies, but you will not receive any more notifications

All the best,

haha, I'm so glad I'm not the only one screaming at the TV over that commercial! So stupid...yes, please feed kids chocolate sugar coated cereal in lieu of a decent, healthy meal.
