Marmitegate: the 13 funniest twitter reactions

You can’t have failed to notice that people are in a bit of a meltdown because Tesco has had a price dispute with Unilever and will no longer be able to supply a number of much-loved brands, including Marmite. To make matters worse, the dispute centred around the drop in the value of the pound, so Brexit is being blamed for a potential shortage of Marmite.

So here’s the 13 funniest tweets:

Our government will be making a list of all foreign nationals who have a jar of Marmite, as that Marmite should go to a UK citizen.

52% of people hate Marmite. We should respect the will of the British people and not have access to Marmite

The year is 2017, Marmite is the UK's official currency, old people are burned as fuel, an evil clown is PM, Brexit still means Brexit.

Apparently Tesco now only sells eggs and thats it

But before we all rush to Tesco to panic-buy enough Marmite for the next five years, which is one jar, we should consider the wise words of @bingowings14, who points out “Other supermarkets are available.”
