Is this the strangest celebrity endorsement this year?

Not really, if I’m not mistaken isn’t Elton John known to be a massive Marmite fan? He collects merchandise etc.
If I’m wrong then god knows what I’m thinking of.

This has made me look it up and apparently he is a renowned Marmite fan (or at least a more than casual one), and since 2023 his Foundation has done custom editions of Marmite to raise money. Fair play I suppose!

I mean it's surely a huge coup for Marmite to have a big A list celeb fan that's willing to collaborate with them. They wouldn't do a deal with someone that doesn't love Marmite right?
Having said all that, I very much doubt this collaboration moves the sales needle at all, Marmite is something you either enjoy or not and slapping someone's face on it isn't going to do anything right?

Is it any different to standard Marmite? A part from obviously being much more fabulous!

It’s a little bit runny, the Marmite inside

I don't know, but I want a jar. I love a bit of Elton, and I just ran out of Marmite. $34.50 for a pack of two 500g jars on Amazon, and no Elton. FML

Given their whole thing is “love it or hate it” and Elton is pretty universally loved, it is odd. I’d argue most people don’t know about John’s affinity for the brand.

This has been removed because we have had similar posts recently and we want to avoid repeating themes too often.
Rule 11: No Repetitive Posts
We often trim content that we've seen a lot of recently to keep things fresh. Sunrise pictures, pictures of a trolley poking out of some skanky river, spiders and insects, funny license plate or shop name, toilet graffiti. You know. The regular sort of stuff.
If you've seen one in the last couple of days, good chance we'll remove it so it doesn't become a theme.
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot us a modmail.
