Marmitegate: the 13 funniest twitter reactions
You can’t have failed to notice that people are in a bit of a meltdown because Tesco has had a price dispute with Unilever and will no longer be able to supply a number of much-loved brands, including Marmite. To make matters worse, the dispute centred around the drop in the value of the pound, so Brexit is being blamed for a potential shortage of Marmite.
So here’s the 13 funniest tweets:

With Brexit meaning no more Marmite, at least we now know that the ratio of people who hate v love it is 52% to 48%.

The year is 2017, Marmite is the UK's official currency, old people are burned as fuel, an evil clown is PM, Brexit still means Brexit.

But before we all rush to Tesco to panic-buy enough Marmite for the next five years, which is one jar, we should consider the wise words of @bingowings14, who points out “Other supermarkets are available.”
