An anonymous reader quotes Inc.Millions of Italians can now say they own a one-of-a-kind Nutella jar.

There are jars with polka dots. Jars with zigzags. Jars with splotchy shapes. All sorts of other patterns, too... All 7 million jars sold out within a month... Due to the sell-out success of these jars, Nutella is reportedly launching the same campaign soon in other European countries, starting with France. The article includes a video showing some of the labels.
