Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 9th June, 2022

9th June, 2022.

Did I mention I like Marmite?

I like Marmite.   I usually find it economical to but big tubs of the stuff on Amazon.

You can’t get the tubs in the shops.

When the delivery turned up yesterday?   I thought that — given Jude’s posted a successful reaction video — I’d try my hand at something that’s getting equally as successful.

An unboxing video!

If I can persuade someone to react to it?

I’d be a happy bunny!
