Which one should I try to find first? I think the FOMO bug got me. Does one have more cultural impact than the other?

Even though I prefer vegemite I recommend beginners to try marmite first. Vegemite is a bit more intense, marmite is slightly sweet and once you have tried marmite you won't find vegemite as shocking when you try it

speaking of bongshit, i've had a jar of bovril in the fridge for maybe 2 years since i rarely use it. i brought it out for a recipe recently and the viscosity was insane, it was literally like that ja/ck/ video where the batter he made wouldn't stick to the chicken tenders. i figure something like bovril can't go bad but it's been so long since i used it last i don't remember if this is normal.
it's definitely not spreadable. i managed to get it to a state where it could stick to the meat i was trying to slather it on by diluting it a bit with worcestireshire sauce.

They serve different needs. Coincidentally, I recently had a bit of musing on their tastes, so I'll write that here.
Marmite serves better to highlight flavor, typically to blander ingredients. With Marmite, you could introduce it with nearly anything to make it stand out against the bitterness. For example, on buttered toast, Marmite adds contrast to the ingredients, making their flavors more noticeable.
Vegemite is better to complement an existing savoriness. It's best served on food that tastes like it's short on the final stretch of flavor, but it's notably savory, which makes using it much more selective. On buttered toast, Vegemite adds sharpness to the overall flavor while not creating much contrast.
Of course, moderation must be used. If you overdo either, it'll wash out the flavor, and both have about the same tolerances. Even so, Vegemite can be used slightly more liberally if you wish to bring out a very strong savoriness, and more Marmite can be used on extremely bland foods to bring the flavor up to somewhere tolerable.
With all this said, experimentation is key here. I keep a steady supply of both, and I'm still not sure which one goes better on burgers (side note, both work great as a hydrophobic layer to prevent sogginess).

>Do they sell this at Walmart in the states
Groceries typically have a caribbean/british kind of section where you'll see chocolates, condiments, cookies and objects like that. I usually see the Marmite there. Amazon always has it.
Anyway, my one and only use is on top of a big sheet of matzoh cracker with a few drops of Marmite, like a transparent drizzle on top of the spread butter. Even better on an egg n onion flavor matzo.

The UK Marmite is different to the Marmite in Australia and NZ. I think most Aussies have only tried the NZ version, but we definitely also have the UK version in our stores (in the "British food" section).
There are multiple other -mites too. We have whole shelves of different -mites. It's like a category of food here.
JermsMRE did a review of UK Marmite, NZ Marmite and Vegemite recently:
