Hi
Marmite is wonderful stuff. As far as I know, it's been around for over a
hundred years, in the same funny little black glass bottle. Basically one
of the products that that can be considered a success that's stood the test
of time. All the others are recent copies.

Now, if if some marketing palooka should decide to use plastic, or change
the shape, it should be downhill all the way. It really annoys me when
packaging is changed on a product that I really like. Even if it's
"better", the physiological association I have with it has been marred, and
they didn't even ask me first!!
