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

Ah right! Clearly some kind of confusions as to what Paddington eats.

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?

I'm out of it completely. Jungle Jims here in Ohio want $19 for the large jar
Thankfully I'm headed back in January. Here's hoping the shops have some
