Students at Columbia University have an addiction and they are feeding this $5000 a week habit with no indication of quitting anytime soon. While most parents and teachers would be alarmed at the cost of this campus wide habit there is no cause for alarm. this is just an innocent albeit expensive dependency on Nutella. The rate these students are going through the jars of the nutty spread is quite astounding. 100 pounds of the hazelnut – chocolate spread a day, and at a cost of $260,000 a year. Is that what these kids have gone to one of the best schools in the world for?
Maybe the Ivy League learning institution could offer a Nutella course and the nutty spread would pay for itself?
Demand “has been greater than originally expected” Vicki Dunn, Executive Director of Columbia Dinning Services told the University’s Spectator newspaper. I would think so if these students are spreading their way through a few hundred thousand dollars worth a year.
While adding the tasty spread to the dining plan at the Ivy League institution, which costs students $2,363 a semester seemed like a good idea. Officials are now less enthusiastic about adding other expensive items just in case they create another excessive demand.
