Let me just preface this by saying that I do not hate white chocolate. Those white milky bars were a staple in my vast diet when I was a kid. I love chocolate. All chocolate. Perhaps to a fault. But when I think of Nutella, I think of milk chocolate that I will very likely eat straight from the jar.

As Nutella should be consumed.

Now, conditioning is a very strong thing. If I’ve been conditioned into seeing Nutella in a certain flavor, it’s very likely that I may not be the biggest fan of the same when things are switched up a bit. No one likes change.

Besides, 2020 has been chaotic enough.

Now imagine my surprise when I’m scrolling through my feed and I come across…well…you might wanna see for yourself:

Yes. That IS white chocolate Nutella.

Who let this happen? I just wanna talk.

I have nothing against white chocolate. Sure, I have preferences, and maybe I lean towards milk chocolate a tad bit more, but I’d let white chocolate give me the same amount of acne as milk chocolate. But, there’s just something strange about seeing white chocolate Nutella.

As Bhavya Mehta from ScoopWhoop has accurately pointed out in their article, I must agree and state that it does look like a jar of mayonnaise. And can’t unsee it.

This is what Nutella should look like:

How is this a pleasant sight?

I’m not saying it’ll taste bad. Knowing myself, I’ll probably try it. But is nothing safe from experimentation anymore?

Must we keep trying new things? Haven’t we done enough?! As a species, in totality?

(Which is another debate for another day, non-Nutella related).

Anyway, I don’t know. The page that posted it seems to be confident about their recipe. And who am I to rain on their parade? All I’m saying is that I’ve been through enough for one year. Let’s save some stuff for 2021. Please.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a jar of milk chocolate Nutella to annihilate. In the meanwhile, let me know what you think about this in the comments below.
