It doesn't surprise me. But I am fairly sure that the upper-case brand name preceded the lower case for the yeast stuff. The brand name is apparently derived from the container it was sold in which resembled the French marmite(“a covered pot, usually earthenware”). If "Marmite" can't be cited in attributive use, we can still have the lower-case entry and include the brand name in the etymology. DCDuringTALK02:54, 27 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

We should try to attest the common noun, too ("something which people either love or hate" — from a TV ad campaign hinging on this aspect of Marmite). The current single citation is useless for this purpose. Equinox◑01:08, 31 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
I don't understand why the 2009 citation is useless, but nevertheless I've added another four citations (all for "the marmite of"), which I think should verify this. Thryduulf (talk) 01:43, 31 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
