Nutella is an evil temptress. Your roomie's self control doesn't stand a chance against its nutty, chocolatey powers.

That's why Daniel Schobloch of Germany invented an acrylic Nutella jar lock to ensure your spread stays in the jar and not on anyone else's sandwich, reports The Local.

Schobloch said, "As the demand continued to grow, we decided to offer the device on Ebay." As of Aug. 26, almost 1,000 units had been sold.

Though he is careful to say the lock, which comes with two keys, is more of a gag gift (it can easily be broken), the demand is still strong. Schobloch has already patented and branded his Nutella Lock.

He hopes to bring it to market soon, but in the meantime, there are still a few units left on Ebay for just under €10 each.

If you want one, act quickly, because they routinely sell out, putting you at further risk for ravenous pirates (otherwise known as roommates).
