# I have always wondered 2 things about marmite.
a) Is anyone indifferent to it?
b) What is the actual social breakdown of the lovers and haters?

# It's genetic
You don't get a choice, either you like it or you don't.

There is no middle ground. The whole advertising campaign is based on this.

# not always
my missus is pretty indifferent.

Mind you, her Dad loves it and her Mum hates it.

Me, I love it.

So how come our kids hate it?

I never could get the hang of genetics properly.

# Nah, it's mostly a clever pick up by the advertisers
I used to really like it, now I enjoy it when I have it but don't have any major feeling either way.
My missus is similar, never been bothered but enjoys it when he has it.

Edit: I don't have any sources to back it up but it seems to me that when they introduced that campaign they made a lot of 'lovers' out of previous haters, something that shouldn't have been possible if it really was that clear cut.
