FediFriends: in your language / culture / dialect of English, do you have an equivalent to the British phrase that something “is a bit marmite”?

Meaning a thing that some people absolutely adore, while others equally vehemently loathe it.

For me, it feels different to “a love-hate relationship”, where both of those emotions are felt by the same person towards the thing.

It’s a research question, honest 🙂

@markmccaughrean Miracle Whip tries to position itself this way but I don't think it ever became an idiom like "a bit Marmite".

@khird Feels like an attempt to be edgy in defence of a horrible product. Which Marmite is not (he says, fairly clearly aligning himself with the “love” camp 🤪)
