The saying is that you love it or you hate it!! I love it as does my son but my husband well he definitely hates it. I'm never heard anyone say "oh it's ok" or "it's not bad" only love or hate... more

    5 Stars It's MYmite Review with images 15/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages For me, everything

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Erm; The simple fact it has a bad reputation

    If someone said to me, what would be included in a list of things you couldn't live without it would have to be Marmite. I can't get enough of it! I'm not sure about 'bathing' in it, as the website suggests (erm, I'm sure this is meant to be hyperbole www.marmite.com) as it is RATHER thick and sticky (the 'rather' is definately litotes/understatement - I'll come to the description later. Let me have my rant about how good it is first). Marmite is a savoury spread popularised by the well known catch phrase' you wither love it or you hate it'. I think this is true of anyfood really but I suppose ... more

    Advantages Advantages Quite nice tasting, quick and easy, handy, long lasting, nutritionally good

    Disadvantages Disadvantages A bit salty, makes your breath stink

    --------Its lingering stench reaps Revenge until night's long end A dark side beckoning some To savour more Bewitched as one-------- (An extract from The Dark Side of Marmite I've written for Halloween) Marmite divides itself with those who fall either into the 'Hate It' or 'Love It' camp. Me? Call me sit-on-the-fence awkward but I can't put myself on either side. To say that I love Marmite stretches things too far. I don't hate it either. I fall somewhere in the middle - I Quite Like It. Not very catchy as a slogan and it throws that theory out the window. But still, you must admit clever ads ... more

    5 Stars ...My Mate Review with images 21/07/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Yumtastic, Cheap, Lasts a long time, Vegetarian friendly, Low calorie

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Has a diverse reaction to it's flavour

    Introduction: Marmite, the word that can send a pulse of pleasure through someone and a wave of loathing through another. Personally, I love the stuff, but opinions on this wonderful substance can be quite contrary to mine. It's hard to describe exactly what it is, it isn't a preserve, or a sauce, it's a condiment that you would have on toast, it's spreadable in that sense. Although I have known some people to drink it (by adding a blob into a mug an adding hot water), I think they have been getting confused with Bovril, you know, I love marmite, but I will happily admit that the thought of ... more

    5 Stars I Love Marmite! Review with images 06/08/2012
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great snack alternative if you like the taste.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages horrible if you're don't like it.

    To kick off this review of Marmite I would like to state that I am a 'lover' not a 'hater'. The advertisements for Marmite are famously known for their 'Love' or 'Hate' it themes, which makes Marmite rather unique just by the fact that it is a risky campaign to take on when you promote your product as being hated by half of its consumers. This has famously become known as 'The Marmite Effect' or reaction. Thankfully it is one of the English products that are sold in most Dutch supermarkets and I can get it quite easily, albeit at a higher price than it would be in England. Marmite is a savoury ... more
