Marmite conspiracy - what's the solution?

[fastfreddy]

This is too important for the food & drink forum...

It has come to my attention that the supermarkets are no longer stocking the 500g jars of Marmite.

Yes, i know what you're thinking, but it appears to be true.

I can only find the novelty jars (125g) which are only good for putting in Christmas crackers or the medium sized 250g jars which only last us about a week.

It seems that Unilever is trying force the 400g squeezable containers upon us and frankly we don't want them!

Part of the fun is trying to scrape the last remnants from the bottom of the jar. And you can see how much you've got left in the big jar. Who knows how much is in one of those squeezy things?

I have considered the catering tubs, but these seem to only be available in 600g plastic containers and if I order online, the price ends up being more than if I bought 3 x 250g jars!

So what's the solution? Anyone else having Marmite supply problems?

Costco do the catering tubs.

Perhaps the realised it tastes like st and no one wants it so they are only supplying the small jars.

Why not keep an old jar and fill it up from the small jars. That way you get to live your weird fetish x 4 when you want to scrape out the bottom of the jars.

Now, that's something to try, next time I have five hours to spare...

I have been doing some more research

Costco and Booker are both potential sources of bulk Marmite.

But which is best?

They'll taste massively similar.

I've never even got through a small jar. Every now and then I fancy some, and its great for a very short while, then it just makes me want to barf !
