Riots Over Nutella Sale

There were riots and serious commotion at a French supermarket chain when it slashed the price of Nutella spread by 70%.

In ugly scenes evocative of Black Friday in the U.S., some customers at Intermarché supermarkets brawled in a bid to bag cheap jars of the chocolate-hazelnut spread, according to multiple media reports.

Police were reportedly called to deal with outbreaks of violence after the chain slashed the price of a 950-gram jar by 70 percent, to 1.41 euros (about $1.76) from 4.50 euros (about $5.61).

“They are like animals,” the BBC reported one customer at an unidentified store as saying. “A woman had her hair pulled, an elderly lady took a box on her head, another had a bloody hand.”

Nutella? Seriously?!

Still, it shows one thing. The more we think that we are different, the more things like this shows that we are not THAT different after all. Things like this happen all over the world. At one point or another, we shake our heads at many things happening in different locations.
