Nutella’s unexpected moment in space became an unlikely star of NASA’s Artemis II mission. It was during a live session that a jar of Nutella<\/a> recently set a record, becoming the first chocolate spread in history to reach space… accidentally. While everyone expected the crew on board, Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen to be the main focus of the mission, the unexpected jar of chocolate spread<\/a> stole the limelight. The jar of Nutella was seen floating through the Orion spacecraft approximately 4 minutes before the Artemis II crew surpassed the Apollo 13 distance record from 1970 of 248,655 miles from Earth on Monday.<\/p>\n

Playing along with the viral moment, the brand posted the clip on X with the caption, \u201cNutella is out of this world.\u201d Further adding, the note read, \u201cHonoured to have travelled further than any spread in history. Taking spreading smiles to new heights\u201d<\/p>\n

Mario Nawfal, a prominent Lebanese-Australian entrepreneur, business influencer, and host of “The Roundtable,” which is widely cited as the “Largest Show on X”, said, \u201cNutella just got the most ba***s free ad in maybe human history. A jar of it floated across the camera on the Artemis II livestream, halfway to the Moon, completely unbothered. All it took was zero gravity and a very good brand moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

NASA\u00a0Clarifies The Rumours Of Product Placement<\/p>\n

The visuals left many users speculating that NASA had been heavily involved in product placement. NASA clarified that none of this was pre-planned. \u201cNASA does not select crew meals or food in association with brand partnerships. This was not a product placement,\u201d agency press secretary Bethany Stevens told Futurism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Inside The Lavish Menu Of Astronauts<\/p>\n

Although NASA denied product placement, the Artemis II crew’s food menu is making waves online. With 189 items on the menu, including 58 tortillas, coffee, and desserts like cake and cookies, their culinary adventure probably got more interesting with a side of Nutella.
