Yay, the Nutella Alternatives group is growing (world dominion imminent…).
Recent additions include:
The question
Why spend so many hours and bytes on Nutella and derivatives?
It’s a web differentiator! And when people wander thru the shopping aisles with their phone cams they need a purpose.
The Flickr group lists all the details:

Childhood memories
As regular readers of Chiperoni know, the author grew up under African skies. Nutella and all subsitutes thereof were unknown. A friendly soul somewhere in Germany sent a package containing a small bucket in brown plastic of Nutella-like bread spread.
At school my Nutella sandwich was commented with a universal “Yuck“. South Africans, Brits, Zimbabweans, Indians, North Americans and Malawians didn’t even try it.
More for us and some classmates from the Netherlands.
I -in turn- never really acquired a taste for Marmite.
