On Valentine’s Day, sculptor and Marmite lover Jeremy Fattorini recreated Rodin’s "The Kiss" made with 420 jars of Marmite!

Jeremy had this to say:

“It will be interesting to see if this gains more popularity than the statue at St Pancras. I’m sure that Marmite will once again polarize the nation – you’ll either love it or hate it. It’s a good thing I like the stuff, as I was licking my fingers as I created it!” (Source)

    420 eh? I wonder if there is significance to the number of jars used? Thank you for posting an explanation of what “marmite” is. Sounds revolting.

    Well since it’s Marmite I can’t make the same objection I did about the bananas – wasted food. What’s up though, is there no more clay in the world?

    What a stoopido thing to do….

    Shoulda used Vegemite.

    ps: for all those stupid yanq’s about to sign on and say how much they hate vegemite….YOU OWN IT. It belongs to Kraft. I guess Agent Orange in Vietnam and Vegemite in Oz, tx so much.

    Hmmm…a statue from Agent Orange?
