  A few years ago I noticed that Nutella just didn't taste as good to me anymore. I assumed I was just getting old... Interesting. My personal pet peeve is carrageenan in everything. It makes ice cream and cream cheese have an unnaturally smooth texture that's quite off-putting.

    I loved Nutella for 20 years but stopped when I realized it's just a jar of palm oil full of cocoa powder, sugar, and a drop of hazelnut flavor. Might as well eat a jar of crisco. It also makes it's price absolute bullshit, since palm oil isn't exactly expensive.

    Well - as an Easter European here - the Nutella made for Eastern Europe always tasted like shit compared to the one produced for Germany or Italy. I think the German one was the best. Also Nutella is getting shittier globally. Any making home made gianduia paste is quite easy - you need a good coverture chocolate, butter, hazelnut nut butter and a dash of vanilla. And it tasted better than everything that Nutella has.
