"The factory" was definitely not "moved" to the USA. Ferrero (the Italian
company that invented Nutella) is operating worldwide, producing in the USA
as well - but not only there (why should they do it`?).

Nutella is very popular in Germany, it was introduced here in 1964. 99% of
all children know it and most of them like it. Though there are similar
products sold and eaten as well, Nutella is the most popular product among
all chocolate spreads.

Ferrero is a very successful company, producing a wide variety of sweets
with and without chocolate, for example the most popular "Mon Cheri", a
praline with dark chocolate, a whole cherry and cherry liqueur.

Miles, avoiding Nutella, since any glass he buys is empty much too fast...
