Quote

It may not be immediately obvious to everyone, but one family are convinced they can see the face of Jesus on the lid of a jar of Marmite.

Claire Allen, 36, said she was the first to notice the image on the underside of the lid as she was putting the yeast spread on her son's toast.

Her husband Gareth, 37, said he could not believe his eyes when he saw it.

Mr Allen, of Ystrad, Rhondda, said: "The kids are still eating it, but we kept the lid."

He explained: "Claire saw it first and called her dad to come and take a photo of it.

Mrs Allen said her 14-year-old son Jamie had also remarked on the likeness.

She told the South Wales Echo: "Straight away Jamie said 'that looks like God', and my other boys (Robbie, four, and Tomas, 11) even said they could see a face.

"People might think I'm nuts, but I like to think it's Jesus looking out for us.

"We've had a tough couple of months; my mum's been really ill and it's comforting to think that if he is there, he's watching over us."

Looks more like Rasputin from the Hellboy comics.

Marmite truly is glorious... But seriously? Reporting about it on a well respected BBC site? That's more along the lines of the Metro I would have thought...

Dude, that 'face' is really creepy. I'd rather people depicted Jesus as a cat. *points to signature*

Surely marmite isn't a condiment, it's a spread. Granted I'll accept that there may be some areas of confusion over what constitutes a condiment, relish or seasoning, but marmite is none of those things.

Plus it tastes like the leftovers from Satan's thrush swab.

I love the word "thrush". It's such a good word. I even love saying it. Thrush, thrush, thrush.

Moist, I just love saying moist. Apparently harmless, yet undeniably filthy too. Not to mention vaguely onomatpoaeic.

Is it wrong to see you only see a face on the lid because you want to avoid looking at that womans giant chin and nose and irresponsably small mouth?

Marmite lovers, whilst I'm sure you're all lovely people, still have something deeply wrong with you at a fairly basic level. There is no earthly reason to consider that stuff as food, let alone tasty food...

Yuck! I'm having a flashback to the last time I tasted that foul concoction. I may need to go and wash my mouth out with something that actually tastes good...

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

What would happen if you mixed a jar of Marmite with a jar of Vegemite?

Hmm can't say I'm seeing Jesus.....unless he's some cross between Jesus and Jay Leno - his chin looks massive in the cap there.

That would be like taking brilliant fantasy and polluting it with Tairy-isms. Unconscionable. Why would you even contemplate ruining a jar of Vegemite in such a way? WHY?!
