A video about people buying marmite from the Fresh Choice supermarket in Merivale. The supermarket has a secret stash of marmite which they have made available to customers in exchange for a bank note. The bank notes will be donated to the Christchurch Women's Refuge. Marmite went missing from supermarket shelves across the country after the 22 February 2011 earthquake damaged the factory in Christchurch.

Scene set at Santa Claus' 'Online Christmas Orders Dept' at the North Pole. One elf remarks 'ANOTHER Marmite order from New Zealand'. The sole Marmite factory in New Zealand was damaged in the Christchurch Earthquake of 2011. Further aftershocks led to the shutting down of the factory until late 2012. The remaining stocks ran out, leading to panic buying at inflated prices by Marmite aficionados. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
