Help[Opinions] Re: French judge renames baby
in reply to a message by queenv
In the United States, Nutella is pronounced NEW-tella. Newt would be a more likely nickname than Nut/Nutty.

It's noo-tella in France too. And also so popular it's practically a national dish.

I know it's irrelevant but I wonder why the US side of the company decided to pronounce it new-tella? On the adverts here it's nut-ella which makes sense as it's made from nuts.

I would say that is a broad statement, which may only regionally apply. I do see the link you posted though - I just don't think it is noncontestable.
I have heard both New-tella and Nut-ella here in NY.

Really? I say, and have only heard it said, "NUT-ella."

Agreed. Here in Virginia, it's also NUT-ella and nuttin' else. ;-)

I' live in the US and I've never heard anyone, not grocery store workers, friends, or family from Texas to Ohio to Washington ever pronounce t newt-Ella. Only nut-Ella.

That's why I linked to their FAQ. The company pronounces it NEW-tell-a, so everyone you know is wrong. ;)

We may all be technically wrong, but that's really beside the point. If a great many people pronounce it NUT-ella, however wrong they may be, my point still stands.

lol, I live in the US too and been all over the only place I've ever heard it said nut-ella was a few rare occasions in Miami and in the tv commercials. Everyone else always says it newt-ella.
