I can see the need for accurate measurements, but they should do them per 100g rather than per random amount.

I agree. There may be some obscure reason for the odd amount, but it isn't coming to me atm. Maybe some multiple of Tbsp? The quantities are suggested by the FDA, but not regulated AFAIK. That leads to some shenanigans on the label that makes a product look more favorable than it really is at a cursory glance.

I would suspect that the last bit of your post is the real reason.

I have seen this thread all week...so I need to go get some now. I was at the store last night but Hy-Vee doesn't carry Justin's, gotta go to Baker's (Kroger). I have only put it on toast and apples so far.

I wonder how difficult it is to create your own hazelnut butter :hmm:...

I'm sure ya'll would love to try SAINT NICK'S NUT BUTTER.

We make PB+Nutella for my older son, he loves it. He needs the calories, win/win.

That's another one of my favorite bagels (starting with a plain bagel) to make from time to time - PB on one half, nutella on the other, sandwiched together.
delicious. Will have to try that with Justin's, I'm sure it will be divine.

You had to be stupid but on the other hand I am 100% behind screwing a company for lying in its advertising, so the lawsuit is fine with me.

I never bought the stuff because it's just candy.

I just bought my first jar of Nutella yesterday... tastes great! No rebate though, FML.
