【轶事:“甜蜜” 哥大】巧克力酱不够吃,从食堂走私!
Last month, a Columbia undergraduate dining hall tried to give students a treat by serving Nutella every day, but some students are abusing the privilege. The demand is up to 100 pounds a day and costs the school $5,000 per week, thanks in part to some students smuggling extra chocolate hazelnut spread out of the dining hall.
上个月,哥伦比亚大学的一个本科生食堂决定给学生们打打牙祭,就每天都在食堂里提供能多益牌巧克力榛子酱(一种意大利厂商生产的巧克力榛子酱,可如牛油、花生酱般涂在面包、饼干等食物上,也可以用作烘烤糕点的馅料.)结果学校的好意却被某些学生挥霍了.这种巧克力酱在食堂里的消耗量达到了每天100磅(约90.6斤),每周给学校增添了5000美元的费用.巧克力酱遭疯抢的部分原因是,有学生从食堂偷运巧克力酱贩卖给其他同学!
