Erm, what could one use as a scenario. I once saw a buttered toast game 
where you had  some kind of demon machine buttering slices of toast and you 
had to catch the ones that were going to fall butter side down etc.

I guess one could have had a Marmite round added to this?

Was this the best  game invented since sliced bread?
 Could it have been integrated into Cookie?

We need answers.

Could be based on the ad campaign... could even be 2 player... one person
taking the role of the marmite hater trying to destroy all marmite on a
supermarket shelf with an airgun, while the other is a marmite lover
throwing himself into harms way to protect them.

Marmite is a yeast extract I believe, I'm sure one could also think about 
the other bits of the yeast process as little bugs trying to stop people 
pinching their extract.

You could always hack Jam Sandwich, although dark brown on a Speccy may prove a bit of a challenge:

Why did nobody think of that? *That's* why there's no Marmite game. No
brown.

It would have to be a Commie exclusive.
