Like animals': Shoppers fight over heavily-discounted Nutella in French supermarkets

A Nutella sale has led to wild scenes in supermarkets across France as shoppers scrambled to get their hands on the hazelnut spread.

Supermarket chain Intermaché dropped the price of a 950g jar of Nutella from €4.50 (£3.90) to €1.40 (£1.23) - a discount of 70%. 

At least one store was forced to call the police, while others reported selling the same amount of Nutella in less than an hour than they would in three months. 

 

"A woman had her hair pulled, an elderly lady took a box to her head, another had a bloody hand," the unnammed shopper was quoted as saying.

"It was horrible."

 

At a store in L'Horme one customer received a black eye in the melee.

"We were trying to get in between the customers, but they were pushing us," an employee told Le Progres.

I meant, if they now fight over chocolate, which is very small thing, GT will be disaster for them because it brings much bigger problems.

I imagine it will look like a Black Friday Christmas sale in some areas, just like it does in some areas now...

 

I don't think a Nutella sale in our area would cause a riot..

Revelation 22:22 - "I forgot to write this to you my brethren, as such I shall mention it last in my writings. During the tribulation there shall be a great Nutella crisis. I don't know what that is or means, but Jehovah informed me of this during one of the visions he gave me."

 

This is not in later scrolls because people thought it was a joke as they had no idea what chocolate spread was.

Yes, I saw that verse in a museum display once. It was in the ancient Chokos manuscript dating back to 98 CE.

If it was dark chocolate - maybe...but Nutella, no way! 

[Dages]

Nutella is delicious... with moderation.

Sugar addiction is a thing... I know

I have nutella in my go to bag, sugar for energy, protein, chocolate for endorphines - should keep me going for a few days...  I will not be sharing any during the tribulation unless directly instructed to do so by the Governing body.  The message will have to be signed with an official Watchtower stamp, and delivered by Gabriel.

Mum was trying to explain the medical benefit of something to me once and said “It’s supposed to be good for your dolphins or something.”
