As the guardian of ILoveMarmite.com, I get to product test a lot of new Marmite products. This year has been no exception. The most exciting product I have been able to taste-test is the product of a new joint venture between Marmite and Vaseline. You read that right, MARMITE AND VASELINE. As you can see from the photo, the product is very real and I have been trialling it since the new year.
Last week thieves broke into a warehouse in West Yorkshire and stole over £60,000 worth of Marmite Christmas stock, including 15,000 bars of the newly launched chocolate bar which at this stage is critical – high-peak Christmas season / limited edition and stock available. Call West Yorkshire Police on 0845 60 60 606 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. More soon.
Victors in the Marmite election a few months ago, the Love Party supported by Unilever, have fulfilled their manifesto victory pledge, by unveiling a beautiful and everlasting sculpture for Marmite-mad lovers across the world to congregate and worship. The sculpture pays homage to Marmite's wonderful legacy and will mark the nation's unconditional affection towards one of Britain's most iconic brands and I'll be there!
My 9 month old son, Torin, is very much a Marmite baby. He was brought into the world with Marmite being his mothers main food for many months and since he was only a few months old, he has loved the taste of Marmite and has it daily on toast for breakfast.
The new Marmite Chocolate, is it a Marmite taste sensation too far.....? Watch the video.
You did know that Marmite is vegetarian, didn't you? Guest writer Louise Infante tells us about a study showing the benefits of being vegetarian and includes a great recipe where Marmite is used for flavouring.
All elections should be campaigned this way! Instead of a debate, take 40 good men and women from each party and have a dance-off!!
Seamus Waldron (that's me!), Minister for Dance of the Marmite Love Party and Simon Borland, Minister for Dance of the Marmite Hate Party, gathered together dancers of each Marmitey persuasion from miJive (http://www.mijive.co.uk) and Jive Nation (http://www.jivenation.co.uk) to face-off in-front of the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament.
Watch the video and vote Spread the Love! or Stop the Spread!
It's the great debate, share the marmite Love with the Love Party, or stop the Spread? I caught up with the John Bercow, The Speaker of the House of Commons on his election campaign to ask; "Where does he stand on the Marmite question?"
