bboyminn:

Would this be a good point to interject 'Nutella'? 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutella

As most would know Nutella is Chocolate Hazelnut butter, similar to peanut butter. Yet, the single brand Nutella sells more product worldwide than all the brands of peanut butter combined. Though, not so much in the USA.

Fair warning, if you are a chocolate lover, stay away from Nutella. On occasion, I buy a jar thinking how wonderful it will be to have an occasional buttered toast and Nutella for a snack. 

Of course, not one drop ever touches toast. Typically, if I buy a some, I sit with a spoon eating it straight from the jar. One large jar typically will not make it thorough the weekend. 

Rather than pig out on Nutella, I'll stick with an occasional Hersey's bar.
