Nutella isn’t just a spread, it’s a way of life. That chocolate hazelnut goodness holds a special place in the college kid heart that no other food could ever replace. If you’re the type to eat it straight from the jar, here’s 17 signs that you may be addicted and should consider joining a support group.
1. You wake up every morning thinking about the different ways you’re going to eat Nutella that day, and you dream of inventive new methods of transporting the spread from jar to mouth.
2. The thought of Nutella knockoffs make you cringe. You’re a fierce supporter of the OG spread and you’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.

3. You have at least three different sizes of the spread in your kitchen (or dorm) at all times.

7. Your relationship with Nutella is a love story more powerful than any chick flick or romantic movie. If you and Nutella were Jack and Rose from Titanic, you’d make damn well sure that Nutella got on that raft. And if there wasn’t space, you’d build a bigger raft.
8. The thought of discontinuing Nutella is too heartbreaking to even contemplate.

9. You know cookie butter is no match for Nutella, no matter how much it may try. No spread could ever replace the joy of chocolate and hazelnut, especially one that’s not even a real nut butter.

10. If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, it would be Nutella founder Michele Ferrero. He brought the love of your life into existence and instilled joy in the hearts of addicts worldwide.

11. You’re seriously considering calling your future child “Nutella” if it’s a girl or “Nutello” if it’s a boy. It’s admittedly a pretty hot name.
12. You consider fruit as just another vehicle for Nutella. Whether it’s strawberries or bananas, it’ll taste better slathered in hazelnut and chocolate. But at least you’re getting all your food groups in.

13. When you’re alone in your dorm, you get in bed with your laptop and watch some serious Nutella food porn.

17. You’re willing eat Nutella-hamburger-and-fries. If you’re eating Nutella with your meat, though, it’s probably time to seek help. There are some things that you shouldn’t slather in chocolate and hazelnut, as perfect as it is.
