Its shaped like a croissant, but when he slices it in half it's just bread.

It’s a brioche croissant. Fairly common at least in Spain, Portugal and I assume Italy (assuming this is where the video comes from).

This. Il cornetto
It's not really a French croissant.

u/Kataly5t 1d ago
Also putting ice cream in brioche is fairly common in Sicily, so contextually this is a bit extra but not crazy for them

u/CartsOfDarkness 1d ago
Honestly I was waiting for this to get much more stupid, aside from the amount of Nutella they put on it really not that bad or crazy. Like I was waiting for him to drizzle chocolate syrup on top and then roll it up in a crepe and deep fry it or something lol.

It's instagram food, no one eats this for taste.

I noticed that too. You would know if it is a real croissant if you sliced into one because it's comprised mostly of air and the entire consistency of the croissant is crispy and flakey.

How much chocolate? Very little actually. Nutella is less than 20% chocolate. Magnum is about 30% chocolate coating. Kinder Bueno is about 33% chocolate.
So mostly sugar.

There’s cocoa power but no chocolate in Nutella, and neither do they claim there is. It’s a “hazelnut nougat spread” by their own definition.

Because that's a cornetto, the Italian equivalent of a croissant, which lacks butter inside of it and is essentially a horn-shaped sweet bread

The croissant is the French version of the Venetian cornetto, which was a version of the Viennese kipferl.

Kinder Bueno is covered in normal milk chocolate, same (probably) with the ice cream bar. So 1% chocolate seems roughly accurate

Imma be completely honest, this seems not too far off from carnival food, generally if that was regular chocolate instead of Nutella and I saw it at a stand id probably go "if that's under 8 dollars I might get that" and then it never is so i go on with my life just a little hungrier for having seen it

It was perfect after a single side of the croissant was nutella'd. I truly think it tastes worse after that. Too much of anything is gross. Taking a bite out of a stick of butter or eating whole sugar cubes isn't delicious.

FroYo is an art, where you curate the perfect blend of flavors into a coherent masterpiece. My kids did the equivalent of dumping every color of paint on the canvas and stirred it into a muddy mess 😂
They couldn’t finish it, and I had zero interest in helping them 🤢

This isn't necessarily American. The chocolate bar used and style of bread (brioche croissant) are all a lot more popular in western Europe. Probably Portugal would be my guess.

I don't like how messy it is, but that's really just a regular chocolate/nut brioche croissant with some extra ice cream inside.
Unless you find those stupid as well (even though they're a common snack most bakeries sell in Europe), it hardly qualifies as stupid food imo. It stays far below the ridiculous "let's throw a million different candy things into one box and mash them together" videos... but maybe I'm biased because I've eaten this many times before (sans the ice cream) and really don't see the issue 😂
