"Marmite" (and it's cousin, "Vegemite") are toast/bread spreads based on Yeast Extract. They are part of the British/Aussie/New Zealand culture - and all kids from these countries know Marmite!

People crave it so bad they have friends send it to them while overseas - more so than any other single product.

Personally, I love Marmite *and* Vegemite, but many people hate both, and some like only one or the other - which is weird, because Marmite tastes just like a stronger version of Vegemite to me!

Anyway - this advert which "leaves kids too scared to watch television" should be aired every 15 minutes! WTF to banning it? We don't WANT our kids to watch TV (unless you're a retarded TV-as-baby-sitter type parent) and do everything we can to stop them watching it! So why not force them to watch the advert over and over again to ensure they don't watch the disgusting idiot-box?

*SIGH*

LOL... "oh noes, it's the Marmite blob! MOMMY! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

And I saw Alien and Aliens when I was five. Wimps. Course I don't watch very much TV now.

HaHa bunch of chicken shits scared of a blob. I wonder what would happen if they saw the movie poltergeist.

Edit: That's a movie that would feed a kids fears.

ph33r the marmite!

hah, funny. too bad the article didn't have the ad on it so we could see.
i think marmite is just vegemite with sugar in it or something.

(the remade blob movie freaked me out for some time as a kid. i don't watch horror movies today.)

Marmite and peanut butter sarnies......the best.

....i get mine sent from overseas.

Yeast extract is what we use to grow E. Coli in the lab.

I'm sure it's healthy and tasty, but I don't think I could spread that stuff on my toast . . . too many bad associations O_o
