A recent shortage of Marmite in Britain – the result of a hiatus in brewing during the pandemic – caused panic among lovers of the savoury spread. Haters, on the other hand, rejoiced in its absence from supermarket shelves. ...maybe https://www.economist.com/1843/2021/06/17/marketing-marmite-how-an-advertising-agency-started-a-culture-war
@estherschindler Price has rocketed lately.
It's a great recycling story:
Marmite factory collects yeast waste from breweries and turns it into the spread, reducing waste, improving brewers' profits and creating local jobs.
I am a Marmite lover. I fully get why people would hate it though. It is definitely an acquired taste.
@stueytheround @estherschindler same with Vegemite here (uses CUB yeast waste). No shortage though.
