Marmite vs Sodastream - will it carbonate?

Well this was foolish, but I have no regrets. The sodastream machine did need a very thorough internal cleaning afterwards.

To carbonate the Marmite I dissolved a large spoonful in hot water and then chilled it to make it more receptive to carbonation. It took a lot of carbon dioxide, but didn't seem keep to hold onto it, so releasing the pressure was time consuming and messy.

But the results? Not gonna lie - I'd drink it again....

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

Imagine serving this to someone who asks for a coke.

Here's an idea, Clive: See if you can carbonate the tuna water from a few cans of tuna, and see how the cat reacts to fizzy tuna.

I, for one, am glad Clive is providing an answer to a question, no one has asked.

[RocRizzo]

You are quite brave to drink that, Clive.

[FlyingShotsman]

You've done a service for humanity, Clive. You've carbonated and consumed Marmite so the rest of us don't have to. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

[UTuber]

Clive.... I don't have to tell you that this is so wrong in so many ways.
Love your videos and your ideas are truly revolutionary

[izzieb]

Clive, I know we Scots will drink many questionable things, but I do feel we really should draw the line at carbonated marmite.

[trukkle]

That's some fancy restaurant fare there, they love turning substantial food into flavoured foam

The proper way to carbonate is to create a slightly thickened concentrated syrup of marmite. Carbonate only water, then slowly mix the marmite syrup into the carbonated water and let the whole thing settle. You'll have a better, less messy result in the end. Mixing in this way maintains as much carbonation in the water as possible. It always works best to mix in flavored syrups into carbonated water than trying to carbonate stuff already mixed, like when trying to carbonate milk.

Marmite + Carbonation = Carbonite, obviously... :P

[PhilBoswell]

I can't stand Marmite on its own (my better half loves it though) but I put half a teaspoonful into a mug of instant soup for extra umami and the difference is amazing!

[Larz]

I saw the thumbnail image and thought to myself, "but will it carbonate?". Good old Clive is a Mind Reader! I especially liked the Spoonerisimish "Marbonate Carmite."

Thanks Clive for blazing trails on the exciting world of carbonisation!

P.s. Looks a bit like a quickly pulled Guinness. Yum!

[richardturton]

Add a dollop of vanilla ice cream for a marmite float, yummy.

Perfect timing clive. Bit of a sad evening here with an ex who's about to move away. Then I start you tube and see the title of this and the look on your face. Made me smile again in my lonely life
Cheers mate

It's like the plot of a horror movie:
It's 3am. You're marooned on a tiny island. And somewhere nearby you hear the ominous sound of Marmite being carbonated 😮

[derekmills]

As a dedicated ‘Marmitian’ (I absolutely love the stuff), I would buy bottles of Marmite pop.
Harking back to childhood in the 50s, my idea of Marmite heaven would be yummy spoonfuls of Marmite on toast washed down with this newly invented fizzy nectar. 😋😋😋

[tanzanite]

Thanks for doing the science for us so we know the answer to the question that's burdened us for years Clive, you're making strides in the field of carbonating various fluids.

[mycosys]

Bovril Fizz seems inevitable at this point. I salute your intestinal fortitude Mr Clive.

[smilerbob]

Not a carbonated story this but Marmite related…

When the jar has been emptied don’t throw it away. Swill it with warm to hot water to dissolve what is left and add the contents to a shepherds pie (vegetarian options are available) for an extra flavour boost. Even Marmite haters love a shepherds pie with added Marmite 👍

Captain Clive... boldly taking us where no man has gone before... May you live long and prosper.
