So it's the snakes that get to you, eh? One of the videos features a (assumed) drunk college kid in a canvass sack playing the part of the snake. Does that help?

I was getting some land fill in my back field today and more than once I looked at this vine and thought it was a snake. I eventually had to rip it out so I wouldn't be startled when I sat on the log again.

Marmite, and it's cousin ![Good Stuff | [The good stuff]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/vegemite.gif) , are revolting effluent that don't belong anywhere near any kind of food. Ever.

Heresy! I go through 2 of these every few months or so. If they made marmite donuts I'd probably try one. Of course, I agree that vegemite, its weedy, anemic cousin, is tasteless paste.

Marmite is one of those things you either love or hate. There is no in between. Here we see a typical exchange of ideas between two average consumers (or not consumer in one case).

I believe it was Evelyn Waugh who wrote the timeless lyrics:
Evelyn Waugh (probably): Marmite! Eugh! No!
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.

It was Reginald D Hunter that said:
"Marmite tastes like there's a naked man with hairy legs in your kitchen and every now and again, you take a plate with some toast and you walk under his butt and you go, "Okay, Fred! 'Do what you do best!"

Pretend you go to an online store, the UX is decent (well I designed it so decent is being nice, its probably bad), you add to cart, you are happy and satisfied so you click Checkout and you are redirected to another domain with a similar but different UX ... would you Bounce?
Background, naively I signed up for Shopify. They stubbornly refuse to let you edit the shopping cart experience. Not to mention that they use their own SSL certificate on their own domain for most plans so they have to redirect. So it is a one-two punch. Ugh.
I am a little committed now because I have let the project go on so long without finishing but after I get it up and running; high priority is to dump them. Not worth it!
Actually, the experience has taught me a lot. All shopping carts suck. They all have their own language to learn, they all want you to do things in their predecided form, and they all have limits that any programmer could blast past.
Kind of makes you wish there was a shopping cart solution that did not offer any UX whatsoever. Just a collection of easy to use JS API's to call from your host.

Darn tooting I would. I would assume, at this point, that there was a scam or phishing attack going on here and leave.

I'd probably bounce, yes.

Bounce, yes.
OT: for the sake of readability, when using terms such as UX, spell out what it is the first time, then use the short form in the rest of the original post. While it may be common practice to use short forms, not all users necessarily understand all of the short forms used.

Know your audience. This a programming forum after all. Besides if I bothered to adhere to A.P. or Chicago style guides I would never write anything. Personally I hate going to 5 from 1. I think from 1 to 5 is so much better.

What did you mean by "OT"? You might need to spell this one out!
