To be honest anything in the kitchen that does not either (a) contain, or (b) extrude, butter, is kind of useless. |

The problem with the jar of Marmite* is that some consider it A Gift From The Angels, and some look upon it as a chemical weapon, with no middle ground. |

Thus opinion is irreconcilably divided, and a source of endless strife and conflict; think of it as the Dome of the Rock, but in a spreadable form. |

Inevitably we find this extremely amusing. Humans are very odd. |

*"Marmite" is the french word for a cooking pot or cauldron; thus "a jar of Marmite" is actually a "container of container" and nonsensical. This is of course typical of the french, who delight in making things difficult and overcomplicated, particularly with their so-called "language" with its bizarre lack of a neuter gender. Then they have the termerity to misappropriate the name of an English food product and apply it to a cooking utensil. |

Marmite is a godly nectar. |

Don't say that; it raises the ghastly possibility that you might have some sort of a redeeming feature, which is impossible in a deterministic Universe. |

I'm one of those strange creatures that likes both Marmite
AND Vegemite.
However, while I find Marmite is acceptable on it's own on a
sandwich (but better with cheese); Vegemite is pretty meh
alone and definitely needs cheese (or salt-n-vinegar chips). |

Yes, but everyone knows you're just plain weird, so that's hardly relevant. |

I'll take that as a compliment.
Regarding the idea; there are already re-fillable "food
tubes". Adding a knife-like tip for spreading (whatever the
filling) would be a good thing. |
