Tesco shoppers go wild for 'unreal' Marmite products - and joke the 'world is better' for the range
Tesco shoppers have gone wild over a new range of Marmite products dubbed 'unreal' by fans of the spread.
The versatile yeast spread has collaborated with a number brands over the years, creating peculiar innovations with everything from cheese to popcorn, oatcakes and even sausages and butter.
Now, the British supermarket giant has unveiled a new range of Marmite infused potato products, debuting a total of four new potato-based dishes.
The range was spotted shelved in the chilled section at Tesco, with eagle-eyed foodies taking to social media to spread the word to Marmite fanatics.
Sharing the news, popular food spotter page Food Finds UK Official, posted pictures of the tasty new selection.
Included in the range is a packet of Marmite coated roast potatoes, as well as wedges and a creamy mash packing a delicious helping of the salty spread.
The fourth and final on the new Marmite menu is a cheese potato gratin made with sliced potatoes, sharp cheddar, crunchy breadcrumbs, all combined with the tasty yeast condiment.
Each of the chilled range costs £3.50 and is available for purchase both instore and online.
Taking to social media, devoted Marmite fans have hailed the new products, with one describing the delectable dishes as 'unreal' and 'banging'.
'Look at them bad boys. Mmmmmm,' one wrote.
'Our world is better,' a second praised the supermarket giant, writing 'Tesco is killing it.'
'Oh yes please!!! I already do my own marmite roasters but these look unreal,' another said.
And it would appear the range has been popular, with other commenters saying they had seen the entire range already sold out in their local shops.
However, not everyone approved on the new products, with some Marmite sceptics writing in the comments it was the 'worst taste ever'.
'Love marmite but this sounds disgusting,' another unconvinced commenter wrote.
The new range is yet to be reviewed online, with each of the four products, which are all available for online purchase, having yet to be receive any star-ratings on the retailer's website.

The spread has become an increasingly popular - though no less divisive - addition to a number of dishes, with celebrity chef, Nigella, having raised eyebrows when she published a recipe for a Marmite smeared spaghetti.
Others curious cooks have used Marmite in a range of unique recipes, including adding it to cheese straws, glazing spuds and smearing it throughout sandwiches.
Marmite has previously collaborated with a number of brands, including infusing the distinctive taste of the spread onto crackers, crisps, and even cheeses.
It comes after fans of the condiment were left devastated when it's manufacturer Unilever, revealed that it was discontinuing a fan favoruite combination spread of Marmite and peanut butter.
Fans were first introduced to the combination spread in 2019 by Unilever, the consumer goods company which produces the nation's most divisive spread.
Upon its release five years ago, Unilever said it had been 'carefully crafted by the clever boffins in our Marmite lab to appeal to both Marmite fans and peanut butter lovers'.
A spokesman for the manufacturer confessed that the combination product would be leaving British supermarkets after several had taken to X to complain that they were struggling to get hold of it.
One said: 'Not a single supermarket that I have been to in Kent has it,' while another moaned they'd searched the aisles of Tesco and Sainsbury's only to find 'nothing'.
According to The Grocer, the salty snack has been absent from supermarkets since 6 September.
The fan favourite snack was 90 per cent peanut butter and 10 per cent Marmite, according the the manufacturers.
But a spokesperson at the time affirmed fans of the spread that it was working on a number of exciting new products.
She said: 'Whilst we will no longer be making Marmite peanut butter, we are working on some new and exciting launches within our licensing range to bring our iconic Marmite flavour to shoppers in new ways and formats.'
After realising the Marmite hybrid spread had gone for good, frustrated fans took to X to share their devastation.
One wrote: 'So Unilever has confirmed that Marmite peanut butter has gone. This justification is typical of corporate-ese. This justification is typical of corporate-ese. "We're giving you other things to eat". Listen. I don't want other things. I want Marmite Peanut Butter. Boycotting from now on.'
