Re: Nutella ...
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I'm aware of the food. My sister is a devotee of it. Perhaps I should have been more clear. I don't consider Nutella as a personal name a problem because of the brand name, or at least, enough of a problem to justify banning its use, in France or anywhere else. I consider the slang meanings of "nut" and "nutty" to be far more problematic, but this would apply only in English-speaking countries.

LOL. I like Ovaltine and sometimes buy it, but just the word "Ovaltine" always made my husband laugh his head off.
All I hear is the commercial with the kids screeching "More Ovaltine Please!"
