Two parents have taken drastic action to stop their daughter from eating their Ferrero Rocher chocolates. The pair allegedly told their daughter she had a non-existent nut allergy so they could keep eating the popular chocolate.
However, once their, now 21-year-old, daughter discovered she didn’t have a nut allergy after a blood test she said she felt betrayed by their decision.
Although she discovered she was allergic to curry, cucumbers, chickpeas, and prawns, she was shocked to find nuts weren’t on her list. The woman subsequently shared her story on Reddit to the shock of fellow users.
She wrote: “I found out my parents lied to me for over 15 years by saying I was allergic to nuts.”
She added that when she confronted her parents they said it was because her mother she “loves Ferrero Rocher” which they added were “expensive”.
She added: “The lie got out of hand and I ended up avoiding all kinds of nuts during my whole life. I have been deprived of hundreds of recipes because my parents didn’t want to share this f*****g chocolate with me.
“Is it even good? I feel betrayed and manipulated and feel like I’ll forever resent Ferrero Rocher. Should I just try it at an exposition therapy or something? I’m absolutely sure it won’t kill me this time.”
Following the woman’s revelation, her post was inundated by a flood of sympathetic and empathetic comments.
One person wrote: “I’m sorry those are your parents! That’s incredibly selfish of them. Hopefully, that’s the only lie they told you. I hope enjoy exploring different kinds of nuts!”
Another said: “You should be angry at your parents, not the chocolate. It’s good, but not that good for that level of lie.”
While the woman was annoyed at her parents, she added that she wasn’t annoyed at Ferrero Rocher.
She explained: “I don’t actually resent Ferrero Rocher hahaha only for being good enough to drive my parents to lie for so long! I am sorry, I understand it sounded weird. [SIC]
“I understand that my mum had only a few things to enjoy during those days! She apologised a million times and I forgave her! This became a funny story for us to share.”
