Marmite says it is launching the new product in response to demand from the British public.
Marmite is a staple of breakfast tables across the country, known for long-running"love it or hate it" slogan.
And now, the divisive spread is set to become even more controversial, with the company unveiling plans to blend the yeast extract with crunchy peanut butter.Brand manager Camilla Williamson said:"The British public asked, and we listened. "We're delighted to bring the nation exactly what they've been craving with the creation of Marmite peanut butter."
The product is going to be available to buy online from Monday, and will make its debut on supermarket shelves next month.One fan heralded the announcement as the"best news ever", while others proclaimed that Marmite was a"trailblazer" and"so ahead of the trends".Others were not so easily persuaded - with one asking:"Is this a sick joke?"
A more level-headed shopper said that they love Marmite and peanut butter separately, but fear that combining the two is a step too far.
