Hey Europeans: Desperately Need Nutella "Snack and Drin

Hey everyone.

I have been trying to get my hands on some Nutella Snack and Drink packs for a long time, since they don't sell them in the states. I've yet to locate them online, but I know they're for sale in stores in France, Germany, and other European countries.

Since this community has international members, it seems like the perfect group to turn to. Does anyone on these forums live in a country that sells Nutella Snack and Drink packs? If so, would anyone be willing to send a few to the states? I'll pay shipping and compensate you for your efforts (pm me an offer).

For those that aren't sure what they look like, here's a link http://www.thefoodsection.com/foodse...ng_list_n.html

Let me know
Tom

Nutella is sold at (some) Costco stores. I don't think your link is going to work.. ;)

Sorry, here's another link http://www.germandeli.com/nusndr.html

Yeah, normal Nutella is pretty easy to come by, but these snack and drink packs are proving illusive. I'm not even sure if the company still makes them. If they were sold at Costco, I would probably eat little else

That page caught my eye, but if you look below the box in the middle of the page, they hide the message "Currently out of stock". I actually called them to confirm that--apparently they're not getting another shipment for months. That's why I think I'm going to have to bypass the stores to get my hands on these things.

Have you contacted Ferrero USA?

They don't show the item on their nutella usa site, so I imagine you would need to inquire with them directly. They don't list simple contact information on the website but if you perform a whois on the ferrerousa.com domain.....

The Whois approach is a good idea. Unfortunately their administrative email doesn't work, but I left a message with their customer service people. I'll let you know if a find a source, Kieran. :D

I've never seen that before, and I'm in England. We do however have normal Nutella chocolate spread; which, for your information, goes best with peanut butter ;)

Stop it! Now I have to go buy some Nutella spread.... (I have the peanut butter already)

I don't buy the chocolate spread anymore because it is too good :P, but very unhealthy :x

...but so worth it!

For those of you who have never had the snack and drink packs, they're pretty excellent. It's got 3 chambers--one has liquidy Nutella, another has a bunch of little cracker-like breadsticks, and the third is sealed and has a kind of peach tea. You take off the top cover, stick a straw into the tea, and dip the breadsticks into the Nutella. It's quite the experience.

I'm really hoping a I can find a source of these here in the states.

Haha that sounds so intuitive! I might have a look in Selfridges next time I go in, that place always seems to sell weird American novelty snacks...

Oh, and Kieran, put some jelly in the sandwich too! It's probably the best sandwich ever eaten by man.

fwiw, these are all but identical to KP Choc Dips, with the exception of the peach tea. These used to be my staple diet when I were a yoot.
