When you're going through a breakup, your brain isn't quite right. Your mind will play tricks on you and exploit your weakness. You will send texts you will regret. You will make poor haircut decisions. You will say and think things you don't mean. You will cry to songs you never knew you could. And you will probably eat your weight in something delicious and nutritionally empty. This is the well-documented mania of going through heartbreak. We're all allowed to go through it, and none of us are immune. 

But the best breakup stories come from places of bitterness. We love hearing about how that toxic ex got just the revenge they deserved, or how that scorned woman finally set that skeezy man straight. But this story takes "just desserts" to a whole other level. Read on to see how a beloved jar of dessert spread became an instrument for total breakup destruction.

    Drowning in Nutella A few years ago I (35m) was in a long distance relationship and ended up moving states to move in with her (36f), at her suggestion.

    Straight away it was terrible. A disaster. It was so weird because the second I arrived she completely changed from the person I'd been dating in the past (including previously dating in the same city).

    Suddenly, every little thing I did was extremely annoying for her, and she'd call me out on it.

    One example was I have a fondness for Nutella, which is a chocolate hazelnut spread. Every night I'd have a single spoonful from her big jar in her cupboard.

    This became an Issue. She started going on and on about how I was eating all her Nutella. For days she kept raising it. It was particularly weird because we were both in good jobs, money wasn't an issue, and I was buying most of the groceries.

    So next time I was at the store I bought a huge jar of it for myself. However, this in itself became an issue. Why was I buying stuff she already had? Didn't I realise she didn't have unlimited kitchen cupboard space? How stupid and insensitive could I be?

    By this stage (about 3 weeks in) I realised I had to pull the plug and get out of there. I booked a flight which was 2 days away. ...Enough time for Operation Nutella.

    I'd noticed the discount store had it on sale so I bought a bunch. And by a bunch I mean 3 cases - 72 big jars. On the final day I waited til she was out and spent an hour hiding these Nutella jars everywhere. Bathroom vanity. Sock drawer. In her car. In her garden shed. Inside empty saucepans.

    Some people might think 'oh awesome - Nutella for life!' or just give it away. But she had the kind of OCD where I knew it would REALLY bother her.

    Anyway I moved back to my home state. We were no longer speaking. A few weeks went by. Then out of the blue I got a message: YOU YOUR NUTELLA AND It made my day.

    Glen-Belt 8 hr. ago Darn, that's some expensive revenge there. Nutella isn't cheap, even when on sale. She must've been ultra annoying for you go through with that.

    MenuSpiritual2990 OP . 7 hr. ago Truth. I think I spent over $200 Australian for that Nutella. But my mind was consumed with petty revenge.

    Aesient 6 hr. ago I think I found a caterers size tub of Nutella on Amazon a few years back. Got death glares after the initial excitement when I gifted it to my niece for her 4th birthday. If I recall correctly it took over 6 months for my parents, niece, and 5 siblings to finish it
