What the hell is so apparently good about this stuff?

Is this some White hipster phenomenon or something? It's just a chocolate spread but everyone acts like it came from heaven itself.

>> No.4131510

It's a chocolate hazelnut spread with some milk products to. They come together for a pretty decent spread as long as you don't expect too much from it.

>> No.4131513

It's chocolate. This isn't some new phenomenon. Chocolate tastes good. Toasted bread is good. Toasted bread + chocolate = good shit. It's not difficult to understand. At least, not for people with functioning brains.

It's sort of a new thing in America and they go crazy for it because of that. They heard about how good it is, never had it before and then one day try it.

Oreos became massively popular in Germany about a year ago for the same reason.

>> No.4131538

You don't get very much hazelnut flavored -anything- in America. It just doesn't show up very often for some reason. So, when something comes out that tastes like nothing we commonly eat, it makes sense we'd kinda latch on.

I don't know but I've been trying to quit it for years and I can't.

My parents are Italian immigrants, so I grew up with this stuff and love it. But the American made Nutella is TRASH, too sugary, not enough flavor, and the hydrogenated oils they had change the consistency. Go to Italy, try/buy the real stuff, and tell me you're not eating a tiny piece of perfection.

That stuff was popular with young adults in Murrika in the 1990s, probably earlier too but that's when I was that age. It will always be popular with young adults, at least until globalization reaches a point when little rug rats in flyover country have constant exposure to international products from a young age. I kind of thought we'd be there by now but apparently even domestic products such as Sriracha which is from LA are still considered exotic to some, so it may take another generation or two.

tl;dr if it was called "Tasty Spread" and was invented in Indiana, no one would give two shits, but since it's European, it makes little girls' panties wet.

Boomers did almost none of those things...
Half the things you listed were done by their parents. The other half didn't go anywhere until gen X go a hold of them.

>> No.4131587

Bwahaha. No they fucking didn't.

Boomers were ten years away from being born when rock and roll was invented, were seven years old when Armstrong walked on the moon, in their forties when the internet was "Invented" by scientists in their sixties and spent their youth getting high and either fighting in the stupidest war in american history or bitching out of doing so because they were cowards and assholes.

Just like a boomer to take credit for what their parents did while stroking their tiny dick to their imagined accomplishments and collecting a bunch of welfare cleverly renamed so it's socially acceptable to old fucks while denying it to everyone else.

that would place the boomer start at 1962.

the baby boom is what happened IMMEDIATELY at the end of ww2, meaning 1945, and it continued until some point in the 60s, and yes, those are the exact people who invented rock, did most of apollo, and invented the internet and cell phones.

It's good on pancakes and especially good when you're drunk. No need to buy the name brand, though, offbrand tastes just as good. You can also make your own nutella-type spread from putting hazelnuts in a blender and adding cocoa powder.

It's just something made popular by reddit fags, like the bacon thing.

You guys talking about Nutella being overrated and only eaten by hipsters need to die a slow and gruesome death.

I've grown up with Nutella, it's as normal for me as peanut butter is for Murrfucks and you don't see me going around /ck/, opening a peanut butter thread 5 times and day and tell you how overrated and hipster-ish it is.

There's nothing special about it, OP. It's just a sugary chocolate hazelnut spread. It can be good when used as an ingreident, in say, a cake filling or something like that, but spread on bread? Pig disgusting. It used to taste better as well. I had some years ago when I worked in an import shop that I thought was pretty good, but apparently over the years they've changed their formula to make it much sweeter and seems to have a less nutty, chocolatey flavor. Bah...I wouldn't bother with it.

This guy gets it. Best place for gianduja in Turin, it's great stuff. And there are variants, made with different chocolates and nuts, my favourite was dark chocolate with almonds.

One thing I always wondered though, was why everyone just assumes Nutella is German or Swiss or something. Hell, the only reason I knew as a kid was because my dad is Italian, and Grandpa always sent us a pot of gianduja every Christmas.
