This guy’s Marmite ‘hack’ was made even better by his response to people who said he made it up
Turns out there’s more than one wrong way of eating Marmite (and that wrong way is eating it in the first place, obviously).
A chap called John sparked the mother of all debates on Twitter when he said this about Marmite jars and, in particular, why he reckons the sides of the jar are flat.
It took me years to realise that near-empty Marmite jars should be kept on their side so you can the last of it out more easily. That’s why the jar is flat is the sides pic.twitter.com/X4q8iUsFXw

And minds were indeed blown.
Never noticed that. Genuinely thank you for sharing

This right here is the tweet of the century. May as well turn the internet off. That is genius!!

But the best bit was his response to people who suggested he’d made it up.
don't want to be that guy but – they'll have little flats on (both) sides for much easier queuing on the conveyors at the marmite factory….

I completely agree. I just made that other bit up
— John (@casioroee) 18 August 2019
You can try that, but it'll take absolutely ages to settle, and the jar is likely to fall over in the meantime. Also, why would an accumulation in the curved belly inside the jar be easier to scrape out than the same in the bottom of the jar?

I made it up. I agree with you

Is this official?
— Marc Limon (@marc_limon) 18 August 2019
No, I made it up
— John (@casioroee) 18 August 2019
Seriously?
— Mary Williams (@marymaryw) 18 August 2019
No
— John (@casioroee) 18 August 2019
But no matter how much he protested …
I made that thing up about the Marmite, by the way. I’ve no idea. I don’t keep it on its side, I’m not an animal
— John (@casioroee) August 18, 2019
… it was already too late.
Please stop it now. This is not news. It’s not even true pic.twitter.com/NawfuC0cox

Godspeed, Marmite Man!
I don’t want to be Marmite man. Please, think of my fictional children and what they would be going through if they were alive. It’s very unfair on them. They’re not even real

PS This was pretty good too.
