Seems that Marmite will soon be running out out of stock due to non production in Christchurch
A mate at work was at Kilbirnie Pac n Sav & the shelves were empty. His missus got Vegemite instead which damn near caused a divorce!

So I'm thinking there’s an opportunity here to make some serious dosh? Stock up on as much Marmite as you can then sell it on Tard Me for exorbitant amounts.
Yeah you might say “what if I get stuck with it?”...
No sweat, stock pile it & strike a deal with the local adult shop as their customers (apparently) love the stuff for some reason?
The other more serious thought is stockpile it in preparation for the Zombie invasion, it’s gonna happen.

Never liked the stuff myself, but might work.

I was wondering what was going on. My flatmate loves the stuff, and asked me to get some when I was at pns the other day. She couldn't understand why they didn't have any, and I didn't care enough. Offered some of my vegemite, and she looked at me like I'd sprouted an extra head. :laugh:

I prefer the product they make with the yeast before it is sent to make Marmite. :beer:

What about Cheesybite?...if you can get past the name, its now a bad spread.
I dont mind either, but at the moment, I am right into Honey...may have to cut that back though because of the sugar content...:angry:

I'm much more partial to vegemite, marmites are a little too dark for my liking, to be quite honest.

People need to stop scalping, seriously. It's horrible.

Scalpers are the scum of the earth, no matter what they're peddling.

The sad part is that people are actually bidding on it lol

Some are bidding on jars that have 1/3 left etc. :lol:
