Marmite...Why We Can't Buy It.

Amazing! After doing a post about Marmite & how much I like it, I CAN'T BUY IT!
I contacted the Manufacture via email and received a reply which is as quoted:

'Unfortunately our factory was damaged badly in the NZ earthquakes and we are currently not able to produce Marmite.  At this time we do not know when production will start again.  It will be a long time until it is back on shelf'.

This morning I tried Vegemite, but only a very light spreading.

    Hello Diane,
    Thanks re Title...:) must of had a bad moment.
    I have resigned myself that I have to eat Vegemite. That done all is well. Such a prompt reply from NZ with the reason...no Marmite.

    Yevisha,
    Not good news for the company who makes Marmite, that's for sure.
    Due to the very light spreading of Vegemite I couldn't taste it, tomorrow I will put a little more...I will get used to it:) I have had Vegemite before.

    How ironic and frustrating. I wonder if you could source some out on Amazon and have it shipped to you?
