There were fisticuffs in the aisles at Intermarché supermarkets around France after the store offered a 70 percent discount, which brought the price of the hazelnut spread down from €4.50 (£3.93, $5.60) to €1.40 (£1.22, $1.74).

France loves Nutella, and may account for 26 percent of the world's consumption of the sticky goodness, according to The Local. The Italian chocolate spread reminds many French people of childhood.

At one store in Saint-Cyrien, southern France, customers reportedly "threw themselves" on a staff member carrying a pallet of Nutella pots.

Per The Local, police were called to a supermarket in Ostricourt, norther France, when customers "resorted to fisticuffs," and brawls were also seen in supermarkets in Roubaix, Nord, and Wingles and Marles-les-Mines, Pas-de-Calais.
