I'm somewhere between "Not that keen on it." and "Hate it!" - I could probably force it down with some toast if I had to, but I'd really rather not.

Marmite is dark brown-colored savory spread made from the yeast that is a by-product of the brewing industry. It has a very strong, slightly salty flavor. It is definitely a love-it-or-hate-it type of food.
It comes in small (2-5 inches high) bulb-shaped glass jars with a distinctive yellow lid.

Quote
The most common use is as a spread on toast or in sandwiches. Note: it is generally spread very thinly because of its strong flavor—don't use it like jam. It has drug-like qualities; the more you eat, the thicker you need to spread it to get the same mouth-burning effect. Some people have even called it addictive.

It is produced in the UK at Burton-on-Trent by CPC (UK) Ltd, Esher, Surrey, and this is the original that you should try and seek out.

Quote
Marmite is approved by the Vegetarian Society.

What are Vegemite, Promite, Bovril and Yeast Extract?

Answer: They are not Marmite in any way or form.

Quote
Vegemite is an Australian product, manufactured by Kraft Foods Ltd, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and is generally described by Marmite fans as a weaker version spread than British-produced Marmite—I can personally back this statement up.

Google fuckin' makes you it's bitch and bends you over a table. Eat that, poorly educated Americans!

Ye Gods, but how can you not have heard of Marmite?  You couldn't escape it in the last millenium; it was one of the most successful advertising campaigns ever made.

Surely it's been exported? *Starts searching*

Americans Look Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite#USA)

I expect you to own a jar within 24 hours, starting now.  Go! [:edit]

Hornet keep in mind where're Americans.  If you set your expectations that high you're bound to be disappointed.  Start out with something small like you expect us all to inhale at least 7 times in the next 24 hours.  If that works out than you can move us onto more complex tasks.

Um... I'd love to, except it isn't sold anywhere near me.  Besides, it looks kinda wrong...  :unsure:

Fire- I managed to inhale 7 times in a couple of minutes... do I get a prize for being so quick?  :D

Sentence.

And what's wrong is that it's missing some punctuation and a word:
Hornet, keep in mind: where're most Americans.

:P

Its we are "we're"  not where're!  I spose where're would be "where are", but still, doesn't fit in the sentAnce.

I think the sentecne meant "keep in mind we're Americans;" you'd need a ? mark at the end for your way to work, SS.  :P

LOL this can't be coincidence...
i joined a student association (? don't think that's the right translation...) but basically it's a place students find all sorts of reasons to get drunk real bad  :) i'm sure it excists in whichever country you live
and before you join that we got 2 weeks of being fucked around in all sort of ways (mostly funny, some less enjoyable)
and now 1 of the things to break us was to serve sandwiches with marmite every day... and believe me... it's bad... sometimes i thought i'd rather eat shit then that stuff, i'm traumatized  by it
