Flipboard Culture Desk on Nostr: Marmite built its brand off the "Love it or hate it" slogan, but based on our poll, ...
Marmite built its brand off the "Love it or hate it" slogan, but based on our poll, we recommend they change the words to the slightly less pithy "Love it, hate it, prefer Vegetime, what are you talking about." While "Love it" garnered the highest percentage of votes, there were healthy showings for all the other options. In the comments, a surprising amount of ambivalence for what's supposedly such a divisive yeast extract. Other options that people suggested included Bovril, Vegeta and Vitam-R. We didn't try Marmite until university, when a pal thought it was like Nutella and spread a thick layer on toast after a night out. One bite, and we were firmly and forever in the "Hate it" camp.
