Cool Marmite Thread



So has anyone found those nice Big Squeeze marmite plastic tubs anywhere in Canada? I always bring them back as they're lighter than the glass jars and theoretically less liable to smash (unlikely a marmite jar is going to break to be fair) even though you can never get the last 10% of the real black gold out.

I wonder why the only marmite jars I've ever seen around Toronto are the smallest glass jars. Almost useless imho.

Nope - just found the regular small jars here.

The way to overcome this is to bring the even larger plastic 600g tub back over with you! That bugger lasts a year.

(Wanders off, and considers making toast for a second breakfast now)

Why useless? They contain Marmite.

You can get the last 10% out. Use a finger.

Love(d) the stuff. When I moved to Canada, I decided to give it up! Went "cold turkey"....the first few days were really difficult.....but......I stuck with it! After a few weeks, the cravings went away, and I can honestly say that I am now completely marmite free.

If only I could be as strong with the smokes ...............

Why Steve? Do you have a hair shirt mentality? Giving in to your delight in Marmite doesn't lead anything worse....I don't think?

OK. But they are the foreplay of marmite

For sure, but they kind of revert back to being a plastic jar for the last 10%. I still like 'em though.

Maybe we need a separate branch for marmite? :-)

......yeeeees......but how can you be sure? How do I know that it's not the marmite which made my hair start to fall out? ....or turned me into the grumpy old man I am? Think about it .......if you have eaten marmite in the past .......how can you be sure it hasn't been responsible for those aches and pains you've endured over the years.

Having given up the marmite, I can state quite emphatically that the rate at which my hair loss happens has not increased nor, indeed, have I got any grumpier.


Think about it.

Marmite....watched frankie Boyle in york last year, the only gag I remember was the one where he said that Katie price was like marmite, you either hate her, or would like to see her on the end of a knife. Made me laugh!

That took a lot of strength, Ann. Congratulations. Accepting that you are a marmite-aholic, and stating it publicly, means you are in control! Keep up the good work.
