    Marmite has launched a new print and poster advertising campaign featuring the brand’s most controversial product ideas, including a fabric softener, a shower gel and a perfume. The first series shows spoof ads for Marmite fabric softener, shower gel and perfume, with just the Unilever logo in the corner. A second set of ads introduces the tag line, “That may be too far, but how about this?, a reference to the new Marmite Cereal Bar.

    The Spoof campaign is being supported by direct marketing and sales promotions, created by Iris, including spoof Marmite toothpaste packs, which inside will actually include a sample of the cereal bar, along with two discount coupons, one for a Marmite cereal bar and the other for a tube of toothpaste. Consumers can choose which coupon to use depending on whether they love or hate the product. Samples will also be handed out at selected London Underground stations and commuters will be filmed inside special Marmite booths tasting the Marmite Cereal Bars with the best ‘love’ and ‘hate’ reactions displayed on digital screens in the station.

    I received mine today!

    It said Marmite toothpaste on the box, exactly the same box as whats on ebay,
    but contained a marmite cereal bar, signal toothpaste 20p coupon & a 50p coupon off a box of marmite cereal bars.

    Can't believe the bids on it on ebay. Wish I hadn't opened mine & ate it!

    Perhaps the seller on Ebay generally thinks, it is toothpaste?

    One did sell for £22.00 and another for £11.50, there was even one listed on there for :eek: £50.00 :eek: which didn't sell.
    The highest one at the moment is on £11.00 says it is the only one on ebay........actually there are 10 on there now & I expect there will be quite a few more once people see how they are selling :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I love Marmite! I haven't had one of these freebies *sob!!!* but I've booked a shoping trip for tomorrow (I'm disabled and need to book my shopping trips in advance....really kills the impluse buying!) I'm going to go to Morrisons and hunt out those cereal bars! Yum!

    Despite loving Marmite and being a paid up member of the Marmarati, these cereal bars really dont do it for me. On the other hand, the new XO Marmite is truely delicious.
