Paddington switches allegiances

My lovely friend has just texted me at work with this very important news. I'm not sure how I feel about him abandoning marmalade, mind.

In February, in time for St Patrick's Day, Marmite tied up with Diageo to produce a limited edition Guinness-flavoured Marmite spread, with 300,000 jars hitting supermarket shelves.
!I didn't hear about that! Perhaps it was only in Ireland.

It tasted exactly like Marmite. I could barely tell the difference. I laughed lots when Marcus Brigstock made exactly that comment on the Now Show....

You can fuck with Marmite but leave the Vegemite as it is. Perfection don't need no tweaking.

It is just plain wrong.

It's WRONG. I feel BETRAYED.
Marmite is a foul concoction from the breakfast-table of Satan himself. How could you, Paddington Bear?

Marmite rules, marmalade sucks, so hurrah for Paddington, say I.

Marmite rules, marmalade's okay, but messing around with fictional characters from my childhood is not on. Also - from watching the ad, I'm sure Paddington puts Marmite in a sandwich that already has marmalade in it. That's definitely wrong.

I prefer Marmite to marmalade, but this Paddington obviously has no loyalty.
Turncoat.
*spits on the floor in disgust at the traitorous bears actions*

I was always more of a Rupert than a Paddington bearboy.
