16. Smearing your feet in it to make them go a weird brown instead of bright sexy blue. For when you need to be undercover, in disguise
Its a yeast extract spread. You spread it on toast as a rule. Its very savory. If you have a snack food called twiglets, its on them . I love the stuff, and like hamster says, you either love it or hate it.
it was originally made from the scum that stuck to the edge of the pot when cooking whale blubber, as for the origin, i think it was a universal whalers thing

Whaling? The pages I found on the subject say it's a byproduct of beer production. In fact, the beer companies pay Marmite to come and clean the crap out of their vats and then Marmite sells that crap to you. So, they're getting paid on both sides. Reminds me of a business in high-population areas where somebody digs a pool or a basement and needs to get rid of the dirt, so they pay someone to truck it off and then the guy that owns the truck just goes across town and sells it to someone who needs fill dirt. Money for nothing, and your chicks for free. Or is it Marmite for free? And someone said it was yeast extract? Is that how you say yeast excrement over there? You're eating bacteria shit. Yummy.
accordnig to the vegemite packs here it says it was made by sanitarium NZ, is sanitarium a NZ and OZ thing? to nexus: now it is made from yeast, the crap from breweries contains a lot of the yeasty stuff they use in marmite. originally it was whale blubber crap, now it is beer crap
I think this ie enough to be going on with: http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/marmite.htm "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 MarmiteāI can personally back this statement up. Vegemite fans have claimed that it is stronger than some non British-produced Marmite, but that doesn't say much for that "Marmite"." http://www.guardian.co.uk/netnotes/article/0,6729,748622,00.html "3. For better or worse the stuff first saw the light of day in 1902, brewed up in Burton-on-Trent as a by-product of beer production. Taste issues aside, Marmite is unarguably rich in B vitamins and fully vegetarian." So there. Its British. But I still dont like it.
Seeing as lots of you (from different countries) like marmite, and everyone in Britain hates it, we should make it a principle export 19. As a principle export of Britain 20. As a WMD
22. Lubricant (True Story) I know this group of tree climbers, and they were recording spacial data of eucalyptus forests in Victoria, Aus, when they accidently left their crossbow out in the rain. They didn't want to spend half a day going back to get more grease, so they were looking around for stuff to loosen the joints, and all they came up with were those little vegemite packets. I heard the crossbow reaked so bad that the dog in customs smelled it, and they all had to get searched.
