The funnest thing is Marmite has now become a British slang all of its own. We use it as a metaphor for something that is an acquired taste or tends to polarise opinions. So even people e.g. "Justin Bieber is like Marmite" what that means is you either love or hate hate him.
Quote from Wiki;
"By the 1990s Marmite's distinctive and powerful flavour had earned it as many detractors as it had fans, and it was known for producing a polarised "love/hate" reaction amongst consumers. Marmite launched a "Love it or Hate it" campaign in October 1996, and this resulted in the coining of the phrase "Marmite effect" or "Marmite reaction" for anything which provoked strong and polarised feelings"
