It happens to all of us: You get down near the bottom of your Marmite jar, but you can’t reach that last bit. Eventually your fridge or cupboard, whichever is appropriate, is full of almost-empty jars of Marmite you can’t bear to throw out. Just like everyone’s! Thankfully the Marmite makers have built a “hack” into the very shape of the Marmite jar—that shape with which we’re all so familiar.
Simply take your beloved jar of Marmite and set it on its side. The last bits of the thick savory spread will flow down, and they’ll be easier to scoop out from the top. Like so:

As we all know, Marmite is a British food spread made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing.[1] There’s a different, thicker version in New Zealand, and a similar product named Vegemite in Australia. And here in America, we know and love them all! Otherwise why did this tweet from @casioroee get 26 thousand likes? Are there even that many people in non-America?
Who could go a day without putting this savoury spread on bread, toast, savoury biscuits or crackers, and other similar baked products [NB: CHECK IF WIKIPEDIA IS SPELLING SAVORY WRONG OR JUST BRITISH]? Who has not relaxed after a long day’s work with a chilled drink of (checks notes) Marmite Cocktail or Marmite Gold Rush? Now you won’t have to, because you can sit all your Marmites on their sides and more easily ... spoon them out? Is that how it works? Or is that weird, do you use a butter knife instead? I definitely know, I’m just checking that you know. I definitely don’t need any help from Lifehacker Australia explaining why Marmite is so popular or what it is and how it tastes.
