A 24-year-old man
was arrested and charged with elder abuse when he hoarded all the samples of
Nutella in a Burbank, California Costco and punched an elderly man repeatedly
in the face when challenged, hospitalizing the man.
We all know there
are tons of ads, especially about food, where people go to extreme and
exaggerated lengths to get the product away from other people (usually so they
can eat it). Well, isn’t this a great opportunity for Nutella to join in on
this advertising trend? It’s actually an indisputable real-life occurrence of
someone acting like they do in those silly no-holds-barred competitive food ads
I’m referring to!
All they’d have
to do is show some people in a grocery store aisle where there is a sample tray
of Nutella, and one young man tries it, and after tasting it, he goes crazy,
attacking everyone who wants to try it, and pouring all the samples into his
upturned t-shirt bottom and running away, leaving an aisle full of carnage in
his wake. Then the announcer could say: “Nutella: Once you taste it, you’ll go
‘Nuts-ella’!” (Or: “You’ll go ‘Hella Nuts’ for Nutella!”)
It could be the
“Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs” of hazelnut spread slogans!
If they don’t use
this in an ad, they’re hazel-nuts! (Just kidding. They don’t have
to make the ad; there’s the news story to say it for them.)
Or, wait; how
about this: Nutzilla! One taste of Nutella will turn you into “Nutzilla” (a
hazelnut version of Godzilla), and you’ll destroy anyone who tries to take it
away from you, even if you have to destroy entire cities! (No? Too extreme?
Well, apparently it’s not as extreme as the pleasurably delicious flavor of
Nutella!)
