RIP, Michele Ferrero

The owner of the chocolate and confectionery empire that brought us the Nutella spread (which also tastes awesome if you scoop and eat it directly), Ferrero Rocher, Kinder eggs and (I never knew) Tic Tacs passed away on Saturday at the age of 89.

He was "a man of few words who shunned publicity, turning a local business from the Piedmont region into a global giant. He had a reputation as a forceful leader, but also as one who maintained generous working conditions and gave back to his community."

I personally appreciate all that he did in sweetening my life. May he rest in peace.
