      Disregarding the case where you are a Marmite supremacist I’ll say why.

      Vegemite and marmite can be thought of as a bitter spice to put on top of butter toast. Just like with salt you can put nothing, way too much and the just right amount. The just right amount is way more subjective than tomatoes or cheese on breat since it can vary by a factor of 20-50x.

      I have converted some people to eating marmite and I do it by putting 2-3mm of a knifes tip on the toast and spreading it as thin as possible.

      Had a coworker come back from Australia and had Kraft Vegemite samples for us all.

      “Fuck is wrong with you? Why did you do this to me?!”

          You don’t need to understand. Vegemite is mass produced, and has been mass produced for decades upon decades. If people weren’t buying it, they wouldn’t be selling it. Therefore there are plenty of people who like it

          Take a multivitamin, blend with yeast (stale beer works here), enjoy Vegemite! 🤮

          I am a person who willingly eats Vegemite, so is my family, most of my friends, co-workers, acquaintances, the literal hundreds of children I’ve cared for in my line of work for the most part all eat vegemite.

          More than 22 million jars of the stuff is produced annually, which points to the fact that a whole lot of people must be willingly eating it.
