Tentacruel Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42826028 So this is a thing that actually happened. I'm not sure if there is enough to discuss here, but we could use it as a starting point to discuss consumerism in general and the motivations behind these things.

Yui Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Dude nutella isn't that good it's literally just chocolate but worse. This is why democracy doesn't workDude nutella's funking great, I'd put that stuff on everything if I could. OT: As terrible as it may sound when I say this, I can't help but be a little amused by France's nutella riots. It's like they had their own little Black Friday but only for everyone's favorite hazelnut spread. Of all the things that suddenly go 70% off and cause this sort of thing to happen, it's nutella of all things. I don't know much about consumerism or stuff like that, but I can tell you the motivation is pretty simple, at least on the buyers' end. They just really like nutella. If I could get this stuff for 70% off I'd probably do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 You've never been to socal with any kinda sale if you think this is a white person thing You're missing a key factor in Nutella. It's a very small portion, and I mean minuscule, of black communities that eat Nutella. Hence why it's considered, socially, to be a white thing. This can be applied, for Nutella, to basically all non-white communities if your social bubble is bigger than a pinhole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone does that. But like, there a lot of white people, usually baby boomers or people on 4chan will look at the African American community losing their sheet over Jordans or what have you and act like they're above that. Everyone's got their poison. Ours happens to involve 25% of the world's supply of hazelnuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 What the funk I thought the Nutella love was just a meme Does this mean people unironically love bacon too?And here I was thinking people only ironically disliked bacon.... funk Nutella, peanut butter all the way!I gotta agree, never was fond of Nutella Also from my experience working retail I always found these things...odd. People buy things on sales when its really not all that great a deal and a lot of the time its things they don't really want or use but "Oh its on sale might as well." People end up spending more on sales than not without much to show for it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the stuff to death personally, I used to buy like 5-6 of them, but the company is shady. They're deforesting a ton and it's killing orangutans. That's why I stopped buying it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
