Brawls broke out in a chain of French supermarkets as shoppers fought over cut-price tubs of Nutella chocolate spread.
肢體衝突在法國一家連鎖超級市場爆發，當消費者為了一桶桶減價的能多益巧克力抹醬大打出手。
The Intermarché supermarket chain on Thursday cut the price of a 950g jar of Nutella － so popular in France that it is often served in bars and cafes - to 1.41 euros from the usual 4.7 euros.
「英特馬詩」超市連鎖店週四調降了950克罐裝能多益——在法國廣受歡迎，以致連酒吧和咖啡廳都提供——的售價，從一般的4.7歐元變成1.41歐元。
But shops were confronted with outbursts of violence between customers fighting to get their hands on the product.
但諸店面臨客戶為把該商品弄到手而打架的暴力突發事件。
"They are like animals. One woman had her hair pulled. An elderly lady took a box on her head. Another had a bloody hand," one customer told the newspaper Le Progrès.
一名顧客告訴《進步報》：「他們像動物一樣。一名女子的頭髮被拉扯。一位老嫗拿了一箱放頭上。另一個人手流血。」
The Ferrero company, Nutella’s producer, distanced itself from the sticky situation. The decision was entirely made by Intermarché and Ferrero regretted it, a company statement said. （Reuters）
能多益製造商「費列羅」公司，和這個棘手局面保持距離。公司聲明說，降價完全由英特馬詩決定，費列羅對此表示遺憾。（路透）
