Marmite vs Sodastream - will it carbonate? 

Imagine serving this to someone who asks for a coke.

You are quite brave to drink that, Clive.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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!

If we're doing savoury things now, carbonated gravy (or bovril) would be interesting to see!

With the way this is going, I fear maple syrup could be on the list of things Clive is going to try carbonating next...

Tomato juice would be a good candidate for will it carbonate.

I mean this with love Clive when I say this, but you’re insane to try that.

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 😮

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.

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

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

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 👍

On the topic of carbonated savory liquids, it sometimes happens if you make home-made yogurt, i.e. ferment the milk yourself. Don't know how advisable it is to do today, but back in the day of my grandparents, it was a thing. Apparently sometimes the yogurt bacteria just go crazy and make it fizzy.

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

My man, I genuinely love you. I first discovered your channel when trying to reconnect with electronics after I had studied it at A-Level. My first video was your overview of basic components. Second was Fanny Flambeux. That's enough said really. Bless you.

I would think that all the little yeast particles would form millions of nucleation sites rapidly dispersing the fizz. Like one or two others here, I don't like neat Marmite, but love to use it when cooking.

The absolute madman. What will he carbonate next?

When I used to run a brewery when we carbonated the bottles for the protective atmosphere, we always had to leave the sealed bottles to settle for the gases to balance. If opened too soon they would always fix. I have found this to be the same with the soda stream, if you can mix the syrup and water the day/night before and leave it overnight the bubbles are smaller and have a better mouth feel. It also doesn't fix half as much (regardless of whether it's cold or wam)

These videos are way better than those BlendTech (Will it Blend) vids. You needs to source a sponsor with Soda Stream.

I would love to know how carbonating a thick liquid would work. Maybe not as stiff as neat marmite, but perhaps gravy or custard.

I genuinely love Marmite and Vegemite. A good slather on some buttered toast, perfection. I'm just glad I can get it at my local grocery here in the US these days.

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

Thanks Big Clive. I hope everyone appreciates your devotion to science and the universal question of Will it Carbonate? That was hilarious but the hour or more of cleanup... Cheers to you and a deep bow in your general direction.

We learned one thing here. No matter what you do, no matter how badly you treat it, a soda-stream machine will never scream in pain 😂

I've never had Marmite, but I've had similar things (Japan has some... _interesting_ fermented products). This is clearly a case of "we do what we must because we can."

Thats a briliant segment to learn about new things. Never heard of Marmite before. Reqding about it online definitely gave me a bit of that mixed feeling.

Finally, someone answering the truly important questions in life.

Someone probably already said it, but its so fizzy and doesnt want to be carbonated because marmite water has a lower saturation point for co2 and has a lot of nucleation sites for co2 to turn into gas

If I had to pick a carbonated yeast beverage; my first choice definitely, emphatically, would not not be marmite.

You absolute _madman,_ you went and carbonated something that literally nobody asked for carbonated. It's a thing of great and terrible wonder. My aunt is wondering if you were okay after that, she's convinced that it would annihilate her gastrointestinal system. You should offer a bottle to Ralfy!

Thanks, Clive. I needed a laugh today. 😅

And for those who indulge in the Marmite in the normal way I have a suggestion. Take a slice of bread, butter if you like, add some Marmite but not too much and then add some strawberry jam. In a way it's like chocolate with chilli and is surprisingly good. 🤔👍

Clive invents a new drink that compliments cheese and crackers..

Thank you Mr Clive for answering the questions we never knew we wanted to ask ?

Save the yellow marmite top for holding screws when you dismantle things. Stops the screws rolling off the bench. A tip I always use. 3:31

I would like to see how this is nitrogenated. Apparently it tricks your tongue into tasting more sweet things, and negating any bitterness.

Hahaha. Very clever man doing very silly things, you are great fun Clive.

Most people at 3am, fast asleep in bed. Not Clive, just casually carbonating marmite, what a legend. I wonder if Bovril would taste the same.

It's probably healthier than most of the other stuff you've Carbonated, to be fair 😀

Brilliant - I love Marmite, but even so, I think I will just take your word for its deliciousness when carbonated. btw, does beer not count as a savoury carbonated drink?

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. Mmmmmmm 😋😋😋

What a wonderful gag to play on a family member! 😊 But Clive, could you demonstrate to us any more of those amazing Japanese Fanny Flambeaux dolls? You know - line 'em up on your bench? Light the blue touch paper, then run a mile! 🤣

This series gets more and more disgusting, and I like it

Bovril next? 👍😁 Disappointed you diluted it, frothy full strength Marmite would be fascinating! 🤣

Get yourself a Drinkmate, it's has a 2 stage gas release in the cap and they recommend carbonating anything without chunks!

This is the best science I have seen in a long, long time. Thank you!

I live not far from where Sodastream is made and now I now why marmite is not sold around - it's so people won't have unsmart ideas of combining the too. This by the way reminds me that in ancient Rome there was a drink of vinegar mixed with water called Posca, this for sure sounds like experiment-worthy.

Sounds like a great idea if it is done at a Marmite carbonation factory.

Clive, did you know you can make carbonated custard? About 15+ years ago I witnessed Carole Vorderman drink carbonated custard on stage in front of an audience. The event was a live recording of Dave Gorman’s (English comedian) BBC Radio 4 show “Genius”, at the Mermaid Theatre, London. Listeners were invited to send in “genius” ideas to make the world better, and the best/craziest would be put to the test. On that day, carbonation was one of the ideas. Dave Sodastreamed various food items such as gravy, for the celeb guests to try. After a while, most of them were looking decidedly green, or refused to try Dave Gorman’s carbonated concoctions. Carole, bold soul that she is, tried them all, and even suggested custard. Dave dutifully Sodastreamed a jug of the stuff, and Ms Vorderman downed the lot, declaring it was nice, and that she liked the vanilla flavour! The audience were making lots of “Eeew eeew” noises in the lead up to her drinking the custard, but gave her a massive cheer and applause when she downed it in one. Definitely one of the oddest things I’ve ever seen.

I feel like this would be a good mixer for your Tesco vodka and to have alongside those MREs that you love eating :D Another great video Clive and another good laugh. Cheers

Now you have gone too far. Just no.

Probably still tastes better than a certain brand-name cola here in South Africa which has taken it onto themselves to remove all the sugar and replace it with artificial sweetners. Thank you Clive for asking the hard questions and going the extra mile to help humanity in its quest for knowledge!

Hello there and friendly greetings! 🙂 Long story short: I first watched your videos about carbonating every edible liquid and I found them absolutely entertaining! Yes, of course I also watch your tech videos, equally entertaining AND instructional but... Your "fizzy" videos tickled my curiosity so yesterday I bought a soda carbonator and started to fill with CO2 everything I can put my hands on (liquid, of course...) and hell yeah I am having a lot of fun!! 😁 So, consider yourself guilty for showing me the way to carbonation! I thought you should know, I'll never thank you enough! 😉 Have a great day!

Hi Clive , I LOVE MARMITE!! YumYum, must try that somehow. Many thanks.

Oh! it smells very bad -- List of BigClive famous last words... dying at each electric shock or carbonating marmite. BigClive I appreciate you, you are a genius in your field of practice :) Thank you.

This is the video I've been waiting for. I didn't know I was waiting for it, but I absolutely was. Has anyone from Sodastream ever contacted you in any sort of official capacity about these carbonation videos?

I love when you to the Will it Carbonates. It's always a good time!

Oh man, thanks for the laugh today, as always love your videos

This makes me love your channel even more Big Clive. I hope you get to one million subscribers soon, you deserve it! Keep up the great work!

I think Bovril needs to go on your to do list Clive, there are some questions that just need to be answered,

Clive you're making that oven glove look good. 👍

Love it, 'Doesn't say in the instructions you can't' I'll have to remember that.

Crazy man does crazy stuff. People love him for that.

Your were so preoccupied with whether or not you could that you didn't stop to think if you should.

Gonna tell my kids this is non alcoholic Guinness.

Answering the questions no one in humanity would ever ask out of fear of being chastised, it’s BigClive

Add a little sugar to it and that would pretty much be julmust, which is a sparkling Swedish christmas drink. It's so popular over the christmas season that coca cola doesn't even bother with their usual marketing push there.

" Marmite Fartulations !!" I am now in a much happier place Clive... and good luck with reaching the 1 000 000 subsribers hopefully very soon....

1:38 "...It's turning out that it's - well, it's err - it's just turning out everywhere, yes..." This is expressive on the same level as "Commander, there are ships in the channel" - *How many ships?* - "All of them."

The content The Internet deserves.

As a marmite fan, I approve this message. Sadly though, when I saw the notification I immediately imagined you trying to carbonate straight marmite without dilution. Will it? Who knows, maybe after a few days of absorbing in the fridge. But I gotta imagine the foam would be far more spreadable than the usual stuff 🤔 Still sounds like the diluted version is something I'd try, might make an amazing addition to a beer batter

Awww, I was looking forward to the second time of seeing Big Clive retching on camera.

I wonder if the folks at SodaStream watch these with awe, horror, mirth, or indifference along the lines of: "yeah, we could have told you that because we tried it; we tried EVERYTHING." Well, whatever, cos Big Clive is doing the good work of making this science public.

You deserve a Nobel prize for your relentless quest to fill mankinds missing knowledge...... ,you also just discovered beef guinness.

Truly brilliant Clive I might try that thank you 😊

Carbonated, beefy gatorade. Things you never think you'd say.

The one question I always wanted answered! Thank you big clive!!

"this will answer the question once and for all" nobody asked that particular question Clive, except you. Think I'll give this one a pass.

Big Clive, one of a kind, always worth a chuckle

I adore Vegemite but the idea of making a fizzy drink from it never occurred to me. Hats off to you Sir

I came for the electronic breakdowns, I stayed for the will it carbonate....

Marmite is a yeast product so thinking of carbonated liquid yeast product there once was a limited edition Marmite with brewers yeast that tasted not unpleasantly of salty beer. I make my own chilli Marmite and Vegemite. After using not quite a quarter of a jar as normal- this is just to leave a gap in the jar- I microwave it for about 30 secs till it is liquid. Then I top up with my favourite hot chilli sauce and give it a jolly good stir and let it cool. This has the following effects: 1) that it is now a nice easily spreadable consistency 2) the taste is so amazing that you can sup it out of the jar. Normally eating just a whole teaspoon of Marmite would make me lose the will to live. The best chilli sauce I found was jalapeno and ginger that the Co-op were selling. On its own it's stomach dissolving weapons grade, but it does amazing things to Marmite and compliments it in the most unexpected way. It is powerful so add with care. Vegemite works really well too but it doesn't microwave the same, goes kinda soft and takes more stirring. If it gets too hot it expands out the jar in the most amusing fashion whereas Marmite just sort of explodes as it boils over.

no one: absolutely nobody: not one living soul, I swear: bigclive: C A R B O N A T E D M A R M I T E Bless you, Clive.

Oh my word the subtitles for this are hilarious! "Mermaid that yeasty treat"

The portmanteau being "carbonite", now we know what Han Solo was frozen in.

I love these will it blend videos

Clive, your contribution to human understanding is unmatched. How civilisation managed to get as far as it did without you is anyone's guess.

I recall asking you to do this on a previous live stream - Yay finally. I also as a child mixed Marmite and water and gave it to my friend as a drink as a experiment - It was vile he said!

Your best carbonation yet👍

You’re a madman, Clive.
