How old is your jar of marmite?

27 comments

1. Our 600g tub is barely a month old and will emptied and replaced soon.

2. We finally threw out our marmite jar last week. It was at least 3 years old. Possibly 5.

3. I don’t have one.

4. Use by 2012, so well over ten years.

5. My sister has some champagne marmite that she got as a valentine’s gift. That’s been in the cupboard for about 12 years.

6. I’ve got a champagne one from 2009.

7. Never had one

8. The old ones about 5 weeks old and has a piece of toast worth’s left, new jar at the ready.

   How it lasts for years in some of your houses is a mystery.

9. Like – two weeks?

10. Ours never lasts more than a few weeks. Me, the missus and our 16-year old fucking love the stuff.

11. About five weeks old. It’s a 500g jar, and it’s three quarters empty.

12. I need to search the cupboards to be sure, but I might not actually have one in stock right now and that worries me

13. A week or so.

14. Few weeks. I don’t like it on its own, but chucking some in a lentil ragu gives it a lovely umami-ness.

15. Few weeks, have a spare cos I get moody if I run out of marmite or peanut butter.

    Depends if we buy crumpets, then that runs out s lot faster

16. A few weeks because we actually use it

17. I have a jar in my cupboard that I got for one of my sisters at the start of Lockdown when everything flew off the shelves. It’s just sitting there unopened.

18. Marmite never lives longer than two weeks in this house.

19. Not old, I go through phases with marmite. I am on a marmite binge right now, doing a jar a fortnight right now.

20. Found a large jar at my dad’s. Best before Nov 18. Just gets better with age.

21. Almost a month. It’s been a slow-Marmite month. It’ll be done in July, though.

22. Thankfully I don’t have any.

23. I dont eat a lot of marmite, but every so often I’ll think ‘Hmm, buttered toast with marmite would be good about now’

    never had a jar last longer than ~6 months

24. Mine is best before May 2010.

25. My chilli Marmite is about 4 weeks old and needs replacing soon. My Marmite XO is about 1 week old and is reasonably full for a few more breakfasts /suppers left in it, the Normal marmite has just been finished and we need a new one. Our bag of Marmite peanuts have also all gone as has our Marmite peanut butter. I have get to try Marmite truffle but will likely be picking some up next time I go shopping.

26. My jar of XO is barely 2 weeks old & half done 🙁

    Thankfully my mate saw them in the local Lidl & bought me the two jars that were left – nowhere else locally stocks XO, so I usually have to plump for the yellow top.

27. I use Aldi’s own brand, it’s almost as good and a quid cheaper. 240g lasts a couple of weeks
