New-tella

Today is a great day.

There’s a jar of nutty goodness

sitting in my cupboard.

I haven’t opened it...

I was waiting for today!

It’s Nutella Day

 Nutella came about in the 1940’s.  The world was suffering through a chocolate shortage – in the form of World War II.  Pietro Ferrero knew that the world needed chocolate and turned to hazelnuts – which were plentiful in the northwest of Italy... 

Some fun stuff – The daily production of Nutella is as heavy as three Statues of Liberty. (While I have never held the Statue of Liberty, I am convinced that three Statues would be very, very heavy!)

Every day, over 70 million hazelnuts are used in the production of Nutella.

If no one bought a jar of Nutella for a year, the jars could line up and wrap around the moon - four times!

Nutella is eaten in 75 countries – It must be good!

It is Nutella Day – Nutella must be eaten!

 

I’m off to watch my

full jar of Nutella

become an

empty jar of Nutella.
