[quote]A spokesperson for Italian confectionery company Ferrero SpA confirmed today that their joint chief executive Pietro Ferrero has died in an accident in South Africa. The 47-year-old father of three was traveling for business when he reportedly fainted and fell from his bicycle during a routine ride.
Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini released a statement saying, "Italy has lost a businessman who represented the best qualities of our economic history."
Ferreo's father, 85-year-old father Michele is Italy's richest man, having taken over the company from his parents Piera and Pietro who founded the company in the 1940s.
Ferrero SpA produces Kinder products, Nutella (which was invented in the back of Piera and Pietro's bakery), Mon Cheri, Tic Tac and the eponymous Ferrero Rocher. Mr. Ferrero jointly ran the confectionery group with his brother Giovanni.[/quote]

Terrible he died, even though I myself dislike Nutella.
Ah, nuts. That sure sucks.
Seriously though, I feel sorry for his kids.
e: Wait wait wait, his company's also responsible for Kinder Surprise, Tic Tacs, and those Ferrero Rocher things?
Well... shit.
His legacy will live on in the lunches of elementary school children everywhere.

Shit is delicious, why did he have to die?
:frown:
Nutella is the shit
He was a sweet man.
I fucking loved nuttella, all the kids in kindergarten were jealous that I had a "chocolate sandwich",
Diabetes
Let's eat tons of Nutella in his memory.
Now I hunger for some Nutella.
Haven't ate it in years or so
You guys are acting like they're going to stop making nutella now :3:
Sucks though, wonder if the crash was what killed him or whatever it was that caused him to faint. Bicycle crashes are rarely deadly.

Also, aw shucks.
Tomorrow I'm going to buy a jar of Nutella and eat it with a spoon in honour of this man.
