View Full Version : 1001 Uses for Marmite
Communist Hamster 11-16-04, 10:28 AM This was suggested in the 'Where are you?' thread, so I thought I'd start it before anyone else did.
So, lets list 1001 uses for marmite!
1. Throw it away, FAR away
Nuttyfish 11-16-04, 10:30 AM 2. Cement
3. Eating (hmm...nah)
4. Having a staring contest
Ghost III 11-16-04, 10:31 AM 5. Too make you go sick
Arditezza 11-16-04, 12:51 PM "My Mate,
Whose Mate?
My Mate—Marmite."
6. Use it for Aid for third-world countries. It's rich in B12 and other B vitamins.
7. Surfboard, Ski or Snowboard wax.
8. Use it to patch up wood paneling or small holes in the roof.

invert_nexus 11-16-04, 01:25 PM vegemite=marmite lite.
The Men at Work song suddenly becomes clear. Never knew exactly what vegemite was and never even heard of marmite.

Arditezza thougth you where american :)
Arditezza 11-16-04, 01:58 PM I'm Canadian, actually. Stuck in America for the time being, as a slave to the almighty dollar. Two years, and I will be back home in Alberta. I'll actually be home for Christmas for two weeks this year as well. It will be nice to have a white Christmas.
"Two years, and I will be back home in Alberta" you make it sound like a prison sentance , can't you go home in the weekends and likes.
We all slave for some currancy and atleast you can have a nice christmas :)
Arditezza 11-16-04, 02:39 PM "Two years, and I will be back home in Alberta" you make it sound like a prison sentance , cannot you go home in the weekends and likes, atleast you can have a nice christmas :)
From here to Edmonton, Alberta is a 38 hour drive or a $600 plane ticket. I cannot go home on weekends. Some days, it does feel like a prison sentence.
Ouch 38 hours, thats about the same as what it takes to go from northern europe to north italy in the sourth passing true 2-3 countries, things are a bit smaller here, or maybe the world is not so big, i work with a dude born cuba, grew up in New York and now Danish.
10 heavy artiellery in a food fight
11. Smear it on a worming pill, in an attempt to fool your cat that you're giving it food

Marmite = mmmm
Vegimite, at first it tastes like shit, then you wish it was :D
Communist Hamster 11-17-04, 10:48 AM Kunax,
You don't want to taste it. It's a love/hate thing. Eithere you hate it or you love it. I hate it.
i belive in tasting just about anything once maybe twice and then later again just to see if it is really possible for something to taste that bad/good.
I luurve marmite! I have a mate in Norway, and every time i go over i have to take marmite-lots of it

Hey, who would've thought of that?
15. Throwing at people
My Sexy Blue Feet 11-26-04, 01:59 AM 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
Athelwulf 11-26-04, 03:31 AM 17. Wondering what marmite is . . .
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.
Athelwulf 11-26-04, 04:29 AM Is it a British thing?
vslayer 11-26-04, 05:09 AM 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
Nuttyfish 11-26-04, 06:37 AM probably :)
kazakhan 11-26-04, 06:44 AM We're happy little Vegemites
As bright as bright can be.
We all enjoy our Vegemite
For breakfast, lunch, and tea.
Our mother says we're growing
stronger every single week.
Because we love our Vegemite.
We all adore our Vegemite.
It puts a rose in every cheek!
:D
Blue_UK 11-26-04, 07:33 AM 18. Gluing stuff.
Twiglets Good. Raw marmite bad.

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.
My Sexy Blue Feet 11-27-04, 01:13 AM It's an Australian thing i think
yeah, yeast shit. I can't stand it, it's foul

Vegimite is Australian. Marmite is British. ;)
vslayer 11-27-04, 05:18 AM 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
Communist Hamster 11-27-04, 05:30 AM Marmite is most definately British
vslayer 11-27-04, 05:47 AM any proof of that?
guthrie 11-27-04, 01:58 PM 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 Marmite—I 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.
Communist Hamster 11-27-04, 02:54 PM 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

(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.
Dudish dude 12-01-04, 06:36 AM 23.Spreading on toast and then looking at it for a bit untill you eat it (i love it)
