This Australian City Is Selling A Spoonful Of Nutella For 5 And People Aren't Happy

Melbourne is the undisputed hipster capital of Australia and although we can’t rave enough about Jaffleshutes and sweet potato toast, the latest viral trend is leaving a sour taste in our mouths. If you thought Melbourne’s hipsterness peaked with the avocado latte, then you were mistaken as one pop-up café is now charging $5 for a spoonful of Nutella.

Spoonful of Sugar has been criticised on social media after images emerged of their ‘Naughty Nutella’ dessert which is simply a single spoon of Nutella sprinkled with hazelnuts. Other flavours on offer include ‘Blissful Banoffee,’ ‘Bold Butterscotch,’ Playful PB & J’ and ‘Sinful Salted Caramello,’ and while Melburnians are more than willing to pay top dollar for their coffee, $5 for one mouthful of toast topping is a complete rip-off.

To compare, a 400g jar of Nutella will set you back roughly $5 at most major supermarket chains, while a kilo will cost you roughly $10. Worse still is that according to Pedestrian it’s not even a tablespoon but a teaspoon. For $5, customers should at least be able to keep the silverware.

Whether or not anyone attended the event or was bold enough to fork out a pink note for a spoonful is yet to be determined; however, one thing’s for sure, it’s unlikely that this will be the last of Melbourne’s hipster food trends. Brace yourself.
