How many of us actually eat the Nutella in the PC? I don't think I've ever had the treat in the PC, but have 5 packets in my backpack right now leftover from my last visit. Must be careful to not place laptop right on top though.....

One other question, why can't they package Rondelle and Nutella in squeezable packs like the PowerBar GU comes in? Rip of the tab and squeeze.

I have one pack at home. When I get my hands on it in the PC, it is three Walkers (so 1.5 packs) per Nutella, with the scraps cleaned by pretzels, with the scraps cleaned with my finger.

But then you couldn't dip your cookies/Fritos (another often AWOL product) in the Nutella/Rondelle. Squeezing it on might work with the former, but wouldn't with the latter.

I would get rid of the "bottle top" ridge moldings on the Nutella container. Makes it too easy to miss some spread or sand down some dipper.

If you freeze the Nutella it comes out of the little package in one bite-sized piece

I have no packets in my bag, but have eaten in the Pclub (I'm supposedly allergic to nuts but I don't think Nutella actually contains nuts ) and have enjoyed on bagels. Pretzels sound great so will try that next week.

Nutella is made from chocolates and hazelnuts - there are no nut pieces, but the product definitely contains a good dose of hazelnuts.

I must not be allergic to hazelnuts then because I've been fine BTW, I keep an epipen just in case and realize I'm doing this at my own devices. I love Nutella!

I think cashews and peanuts cause far more allergic reactions than other nuts.

You got an epipen past the TSA brain trust without causing a terminal evacuation? I take my hat off to you

Why waste PC resources with dipping? Straight from packet to mouth I say!

I carry 2 double epi pens. Never had an issue - except in HKG.

Is there a way to freeze them in the PC (I suppose if I had a really long layover)? Or am I stuck eating my fill and then taking a few (or more) for the home freezer?
