I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

Nutella.

If by expensive version you mean the original Italian gianduja spread. The Ferrero version is overly sweet and tasteless in comparison.

The Nutella receipe is different in every country based on consumer testing panels.

And wherever you go, its always a spread that technically isnt chocolate spread, as there is not enough cacao in there :p. Well, depending on the country's law at least. I know here it isnt legal to call nutella a chocolate spread. Label can only say "hazelnut spread"

After buying chocolate spread in italy on vacation I will never buy nutella again. Right now I rotate between the italian coop store brand dark chocolate and pan di stele because I can't find my favourite gianduja in stores anymore :( i think they went out of business during covid.

I grew up in Italy, around a fancy food business mostly focussed on chocolate. While I am familiar with the top Italian (and Belgian and swiss) chocolates, plus a number of artisan's hazelnuts spreads... what's wrong with Nutella they are obviously an industrial product, what's there so bad to never buy it again?
