He works in mysterious ways

and mediums

like chocolate

I saw the face of Christ in my jar of Nutella this morning. I was amazed, but I was also struck by a dilemma: do I forgo breakfast and set up a shrine around my jar of Nutella, or do I smear Christ's face all over my toast?

Let's just say that I believe Jesus will forgive me. I mean, come on. It's Nutella. The stuff is so divine that Christ's face appearing in a jar of it is almost redundant.

Poor girl

I'm curious to hear that she'll said when the nugget will melt : " The devil took the virgin Mary and her 'white spot' child from me!!!11 "

Is it really a CNN logo I see at the top of the page ? Are you sure it's not the Onion ?

Funny how god always conforms to stylized catholic imagery when he makes his works of art...

You'd think he'd be a little more oiriginal...

So...

God is represented in a collection of random...droppings?

Glad to see that at least Suho is retaining his composure here.

I wonder if something similar has happened at a spaghetti & meatballs factory for the flying spaghetti monster

I discovered the image of an elephant in the frost inside a freezer full of frozen waffles in a Phoenix grocery store once ...



Praise Frostiphant!

Of course the gods work in mysterious ways. How else can I possibly explain the miracle of finding a double pack of Nutella for sale at the local Costco, a place where I have never seen this heavenly chocolate hazelnut delight for sale previously? And appearing just when I had developed an almost overpowering craving for this marvelous foodstuff? 'Tis surely the work of the beneficent gods.

I agree that it's a bit odd that the "holy objects" seem to always conform to the traditional RC symbology. Is it because the other occurances aren't reported or maybe not recognized.

Wes - magnificent elephant there. Did the grocery store personnel show the appropriate reverence when you pointed out their miracle for them?

flazza: Not at meatball and spaghetti factor. The FSM is greater than that

Suho: I have to drive and hour and a half to purchase nutella! and I do it happily. Jesus would *definitely* understand.

Clearly, Jason, you've missed my timely warning and its implications for the fate of your soul.

how'd I manage to miss that tucked into page 4 of a same sex marriage bruha?! Last thing I needed to read while puffing on a dark Cameroon wrapped 54 ring gauge stogey

seems Nutella could use it's own thread, my favorite thing to eat it on: SPOON

Jason: An hour and a half? I feel your pain. There used to be a time when it would have been easier to find the Holy Grail here than Nutella. Thankfully, those days are over.

I think we all know that DL is simply an emissary from the Dark One (or possibly the Dark One himself in disguise) who is trying to turn us from the Way of Nutella.

And while we're on the subject, I'd like to point out that our little Nutella diversion drove that same sex marriage thread into the ground. What more proof do we need that Nutella is the Way?

Proof? We don't need no steenking proof! Jesus is obviously returning to Earth as a jar of chocolatey nut spread, because much like his former self, nothing bad about Nutella can be said.

I have rather a sad confession to make. Up until I read this thread about two weeks ago I had never tasted Nutella, I'm sure I've heard the brand name before, but that's about it.
Then, while on a little walkabout I visited Asda, a huge barn of a place, and there in the same aisle as the fairtrade Arabica coffee, and green leaf tea, was the Nutella display. "Ah Nutella" I mused, and I must have been musing out loud because the two young mums with a gaggle of kids in tow, smiled at me and said "oh the kids just love it anytime of the day".
Remembering this thread I decided to buy a small jar for "academic" reasons and after a few more purchases, cycled home.
I had to go back to the shops the next day for another jar.
It is rather wonderful isn't it?
After trying Nutella on granary toast, plain white and wholemeal bread I think my preferred method of consumption is the same as Jasons, either a spoon or a knife if I'm rationing myself.
