I am Italian and, living in Scandinavia, apart from being mostly disgusted by the other chocolate spreads, I am always very surprised to see the office managers, offering breakfasts on select days, defaulting to a teaspoon in the Nutella jar.
I grew up with a taboo for that and the only way I would ever have Nutella is by scraping some with a knife-side and spreading it thinly on a slice of bread.
It’s funny to see people do such things and then coming with the question: “you Italians have pasta, pizza and Nutella and you still manage to be so thin. How?!”
Yeah as a Norwegian I’ve always been a bit weirded out when thinking about chocolate spread for more than two seconds. Tbf, I feel like you’re making it out to be more normal than it is (but idk how it is in Sweden or Denmark). Among adults I very very rarely see chocolate spread on bread. Among children however… Not great for their nutrition. I think most parents think “better they eat something than nothing” but I’d argue maybe that’s not always the case.
On another note: holy crap the regional chocolate spread (nugatti) is like 10 times better than nutella. Nutella households are weird.

Check your portions.
A jar of this would last years in my house as a kid.

To be fair I definitely think Nutella used to have better ratios because it used to taste better.
I make my own now with far more hazelnuts
Big agree on Nugatti. It’s so much better. I feel similarly about kvikk lunsj over kitkat.
