A tweet suggesting that near-empty Marmite jars should be kept on their sides to get the last dregs out more easily has been liked by more than 26,000 people. For years the glass jar’s curved base has made it tricky to scrape out the breakfast spread, but a tweeter named “John” pointed out that the flat sides are easier for a knife. Tweeters welcomed the idea as a “game changer”, although one Marmite hater had another suggestion: “Whether full or near-empty, the best place to store a jar of Marmite is in the bin.”
