There's nothing worse than looking forward to a serving of Nutella on warm toast for breakfast - only to find that someone has cleaned out the jar.
本想在热乎乎的早餐面包片上涂点能多益（注：一种意大利产的榛子巧克力酱），却发现不知谁把它吃光了，世间最痛苦的事情莫过于此。
 But German inventor Daniel Schobloch has come up with a brilliantly simple solution to the pilfering1 problem - by designing an acrylic lock to keep jars of the chocolate and hazelnut spread safe from sticky fingers.
The canny2 gadget3, which started life as a joke invention, is currently on sale for €9.99 on eBay Germany.
The simple lock is so popular that 1,000 units have been sold so far.
The acrylic lock means that no one can open the jar without a key, which will stop late night snackers and early morning pilferers in their tracks.
Daniel, who works at Borkenkarger Furniture and Fittings, told Berlin-based The Local that his invention started life as a joke.
He said: 'One of my friends was always getting worked up because his children were always stealing his Nutella.'
But once news of his clever creation got out, the demand for the lock started to spread.
