What do you refuse to get generic versions of?
Nutella
Edit: I am FLABERGASTED at how many people disagree, I genuinely thought this was obvious, pls recommend anything you prefer to nutella (and whether it’s more or less expensive)
i started to buy kraft instead of nutella. just as good but sunflower oil instead of palm
Nutella is the holy one! There’s other good stuff and I don’t say Nutella is better, it’s just in a one-and-only category: if you want Nutella, you buy Nutella, if you want some chocolate cream, you buy what you like best
I get that, although Nutella has gotten worse in my opinion since they increased the milk powder content relative to the hazelnut content a few years back. So even Nutella isn’t really Nutella anymore in my opinion, therefore I can just as well buy something with more hazelnut centered flavour.
The really fancy stuff (in Germany, don’t know if it exists somewhere else) is Samba. Nutella is just sweet slime in comparison
