Seems there is a crisis in New Zealand. The primary marmite producer in New Zealand was wiped out by the Christchurch earthquake and now the other producers can’t keep pace with demand.
The nasty stuff has flown off market shelves and hoarding has made the situation worse. On the TradeMe site (similar to Ebay), creative folks have found a way to capitalize on the crisis. 250 gm jars of the evil stuff are selling for as much as $500. One enterprising individual is selling a 1 Kg jar (already opened no less) for $1200.
The nickname – Marmigeddon.
