I want marmite, proper marmite

You and me both, Anniebach! I may have to stockpile grin

I'll be a front line "KEEP MARMITE" protester with you.

You can buy Marmite equivalents - supermarkets have their own brands. There's also the Australian Vegemite.

They don’t taste the same, though. We’ve tried a number of equivalents and none matches the peerless Marmite.

They better not mess with my Marmite - or there will be war! Vegemite is not the same at all.

how long before the shops will be stocking vanilla-flavoured Marmite with pistachio sprinkles?
😂

It's not funny, though.

Why have they sold out I wonder? Will this firm, like Kraft/Mondelez, promise not to shut down operations here then immediately do so? I hope not.

True, Unilever have been trying to sell their food division for some time.

Yep it will soon taste rubbish like Cadburys does. I used to love Cadburys but now it is chocolate flavoured not actual chocolate.
I buy ‘actual’ chocolate from Lidl or Aldi, I believe is German chocolate.

Unilever, according to The Telegraph and The Guardian, have sold their foodstuffs division to the US manufacturer McCormick for approx. 44 billion.

Oh dear.

Bearing in mind the trashing of Cadbury's Dairy Milk when that was sold to an American outfit, how long before the shops will be stocking vanilla-flavoured Marmite with pistachio sprinkles?
