Yes, the Nutella Truck is really a thing, and thank our lucky stars, it's coming to Los Angeles this weekend.
The company that makes that addictive and creamy, choco-hazelnut spread that we like to put on crepes and strawberries is celebrating its 50th anniversary by touring across America—and hitting our city from Sept. 13 to Sept. 16. They'll be handing out free Nutella samples on a "variety of unspecified foods," according to the L.A. Times. (Oh, the possibilities!)
According to the Nutella website, they'll also be giving away some swag like t-shirts and stickers, setting up photo opportunities (imagine the Instagram posts!), and offering games to play. Basically a Nutella party, guys.
This is the schedule for the tour bus:
Sept. 13 - Sept. 14 at 12 p.m.: Olvera Street Plaza at 125 Paseo de la Plaza, Los Angeles
Sept. 15 at 9 a.m.: Los Angeles City College at the Student Union Plaza
Sept. 16 at 9 a.m.: 923 Broxton Ave. and Le Conte Avenue, Westwood
