Nutella superfans already know the chocolate-hazelnut spread tastes out of this world \u2014 now, it\u2019s actually traveled there.<\/p>\n

In what some internet users are calling \u201cthe greatest free advertising moment in history,\u201d per Fox News<\/a>, a tub of the tasty treat was recently seen defying gravity aboard NASA\u2019s Artemis II mission<\/a> while moving across the spacecraft\u2019s kitchen in its livestream.<\/p>\n

The deliciously random occurrence took place around four minutes before 2 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, April 6, when the four astronauts of the mission broke the record for the farthest any human being has ever traveled from Earth \u2014 252,752 miles, as reported by Futurism.com<\/a>. Previously, this record had been set by NASA\u2019s Apollo 13 mission in 1970.<\/p>\n

Tobi M\u00fclhauser, who goes by @iamtobi on X, posted<\/a> the now viral vid on his page at 2:10 p.m. on April 6 \u2014 minutes after the broken record \u2014 complete with the caption, \u201cNutella just hit a world record flying as far away from Earth as nobody else did before,\u201d complete with an astronaut and moon emoji.<\/p>\n

\u201cArtemis 2 crew breaking the distance record with a jar of Nutella is the best accidental ad ever,\u201d quipped one X user.<\/p>\n

\u201cNutella drifting into the final frontier,\u201d joked another.<\/p>\n

The Nutella marketing team quickly jumped in on the unexpected bit of fun, posting the video with the text overlay, \u201cNutella is out of this world.\u201d<\/p>\n

NASA later clarified that the Nutella sighting was not a \u201cproduct placement.\u201d Nasa\/UPI\/Shutterstock<\/p>\n

\u201cHonored to have traveled further than any spread in history,\u201d the Nutella team posted<\/a> on X a few hours after breaking the barrier, adding a rocket ship emoji to the video that\u2019s now racked up one million views. \u201cTaking spreading smiles to new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n

NASA\u2019s Kennedy Center playfully shot back, \u201cEnjoying sweet treats while our Artemis crew takes sweet photos of the Moon!\u201d<\/p>\n

However, while some people online speculated that NASA had planned the moment or sold out for some sort of \u201cproduct placement,\u201d NASA quickly squelched the rumor.<\/p>\n

\u201cNASA does not select crew meals or food in association with brand partnerships,\u201d agency press secretary Bethany Stevens told Futurism. She also added a more direct qualifier, \u201cThis was not product placement.\u201d<\/p>\n
