Oh Brexit. Not only is the pound at a depressing 168 year low and questions about workers' rights, farming subsidies and healthcare abroad remain unanswered, but the EU Referendum result has hit us where it REALLY hurts.
The price of many of the goods we trust and love.
Unilever products such as Ben & Jerry's, Flora, Hellmann's, Persil, PG Tips and Vaseline are among the brand name products disappearing from Tesco shelves amid the stand-off over pricing after the supermarket refused the proposed price hike sparked by Brexit.
But love it or hate it, one Unilever product in particular has had people either extremely worried or rejoicing over its possible scarcity.
Marmite is basically having a moment all over the internet, and as you can see below the lovers and the haters get inventive via Twitter over the debacle.
People are getting grouchy over the lack of Marmite
Clearly the #Marmite struggle is real for someone riding my train this morning! #Brexit #Marmitegate pic.twitter.com/SXH8HyfCGE
