Dog House Blog, Marmageddon!

Molly The Wally Loves Her Majesty!


Marmageddon is over as New Zealand shops restock Marmite. The February 2011 quake damaged the only factory in the country that produced Marmite, forcing it to close. Stocks then dwindled, leading to shortages dubbed marmageddon. The shortage led to complaints even from Prime Minister John Key. The website from the manufacturer Sanitarium says, ‘You've rationed, you've scraped, you've survived marmaggedon and now the wait is over. Thanks for not freaking out and for waiting patiently for the black golds’ return.’ You either love it or hate it! This reminded us of the advert last year from Marmite to celebrate the jubilee and yes it involves a corgi giving Marmite the leg-up. Enjoy!




Plus today we got an award from our pal Hawk over here! We say a big thank you Hawk and we will pop it on our awards page right now with pride and gratitude.

    WOOO! I remember the first time we ever tasted this STUFF; we could NOT swallow it and we wondered, "WHY? WHY is this spread so popular?"

    Good tastes run deep, that is for certain!

    Look at you Miz M., so dignified in your portrait! Your eyes make me laugh.

    Ah Molly, we loved the video - thanks for sharing that, we hadn't seen that one! She likes the Marmite but is far far fonder of Vegemite - He and I say it's an acquired taste and being Irish, we don't like it but She has a bit of a Vegemite melt down if She can't find it!!

    And congratulations on the award you certainly deserve it!

    Woof

    Pawesome video, Molly. We have never had marmite but from what we hear about it, we would probably have the same reaction.

    *BOL* that is funny!!! Personally we both love Marmite. Mom is more partial to Bovril, she says it spreads easier. We'll take either.

    Hysterical! I'm in the "hate it" camp. Met a guy from Australia while traveling in Europe and he has some. Bleh! That corgi knows whats what! :)

  31. Unknown26 March 2013 at 20:31

    I don't know what Marmite is but I surely will take that Corgi's reaction as a sign that I don't want to know what it is. BOL!
