Marmite or Marmalade. ?

I got some pictures sent to me via email, as people know I'm a Marmite lover.

Marmite....it had to have been the weirdest, or worst promotion ever...probably why there were so many and so cheap in the x-mass tree shop :D

Still, I got a lifetimes supply of Marmite and the little ones got a bunch of teddy bears :D

I dislike Marmite, but I really did like the Guinness Marmite they did a few years back.

Marmite. Shortage. Am I the only one that doesn't get this? :confused:

It's like complaining there's not as many cases of syphilis in the world as there used to be...

Marmite / Vegemite :sick:

Off topic but Peanut butter in the US is going up by 75% if it has not already!

I've got one of those massive 240g jars that I got on sale once and then about 3-4 of those 90g jars I think, the one above the smallest size.

Love it...in little doses now and again :)
