Vegemite: banned in the U.S.A.

The taste is closer to soy sauce I reckon. Soy sauce + Guinness

mmmm

happy birthday

glad u haven't been banned from the usa

nodding my head like yeah

The new Vegemite won't be on the supermarket shelves until July 5 with the launch being forced on Kraft after the existence of the product became public.

are they worried people will download it from rapidshare or something

This is complete lolz

hb vegrrl!

Vegemite is so utterly normal and ubiquitous that I keep forgetting foreigners don't have it.

Vegemite is so utterly normal and ubiquitous that I keep forgetting foreigners don't have want it.

it was okay iirc but certainly no crunchy peanut butter + honey

I keep a jar at my desk at work, I try to convert people on the regular

Yr next mookie

Also thanks for birthday wishes and for not banning me from the USA <3

xp Did you spread it thick like peanut butter?

in my experience Americans who've tried it and hated it have done it unsupervised and spread it like peanut butter which is in clear violation of the usage codes...just no helping people

yeah mookie how did u spread it

Urg that sounded a little weird out of context lol

I mean you CAN spread it like peanut butter but that's an advanced technique. Newbs and the general public are advised against it unless they absolutely know what they're doing.

I used to suck it off a spoon.

i don't really remember! it was at like a b&b where shit was laid out with no usage codes at all. i was too exhausted from driving on the left to figure it out

hot toast, lotsa butter, scrape of Veg...it should be right on the label for imported jars or at touristy places

xpost when were you in Australia, mookie?

"scrape of Veg"

happy birthday btw

new years 2007

still haunted by hook turns tbh

Nothing goes better with matzot than thinly spread Vegemite

Hook turns are easy, you just go into the left lane when you see a tram line, stop in front of a load of cars, wait for the light on the perpendicular road to turn either red, amber or green depending on which rule book you have read, which junction you're at and what year it is, wait for the traffic behind you to fail to stop and then simply continue through unless the oncoming cars aren't paying attention and plough ahead killing you and your family. I fail to see how this is difficult to understand.

Whereas Vegemite is just a thin layer. THIN.

Hahah yeah thats about right. xpost

oh hook turns ;_; also triple lane roundabout with a tram running through the middle at Royal Parade. Rites of passage/trauma/carnage

xxpost thanks Schlaf <3

I have navigated that roundabout several thousand times and it still scares the living shit out of me. There's a similar one in Essendon next to the Lincolnshire Arms, i don't even

At some point actual people in an actual room have had an actual conversation about that roundabout.

"What's the most logical route for that tram line?"
"Straight through the middle of the roundabout"

madness

Vegemite is made from the ENTRAILS of the victims of that shit fyi

akin to trying to cross the traffic circle surrounding the arc de triomphe on foot without realising there's a tunnel, perhaps

Always was convinced it was a fuck-you from whoever designed it to the city council, or something....seriously those kinds of shenanigans should NOT be allowed in city planning

there's a tunnel under the Arc de Triomph? Good to know

pretty sure the only traffic through that roundabout is out of towners and sadistic parents teaching kids how to drive

isnack2.0 was a bit of a hook turn for Vegemite

whut is that?

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

i do not know where to begin, i actually do not know where to begin

I'm afraid now

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

iirc Kraft ran a competition for the public to name a new version of Vegemite that's mixed with cheese. Some feller submitted "iSnack 2.0" and WON, and they actually launched this thing and stacked shelves across the country with it. Within weeks the damage wrought to the brand was so pure that Kraft ditched it and renamed it Cheesybite.

This was an enormous furphy here. Vuvuzela-like moans of disgust were audible across the land.

has American Idol taught people nothing? People are morons! Don't ask them about this stuff!!! Ugh omg lololololol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite#Vegemite_Cheesybite:_new_recipe

The name was chosen by a panel of marketing and communication experts to appeal to a younger market, capitalising on the popularity of Apple's iPod and iPhone.[19][20] ... On 30 September 2009, only 4 days after the announcement, bowing to significant pressure from consumers, Kraft released plans to abandon the iSnack name

I mean it's all so outlandish that we could be having you on but dead set this was a real thing.

Have they released the tapes from the marketing meeting where they all creamed themselves over iSnack 2.0?

God the backpedalling must have been magical to witness

Was the competition run through the Herald Sun y/n.....or open only to 20/20 contributors

loooooooool

I still reckon the whole "oops" of that campaign was a get-attention beatup. NFI why tho, its not like vegemite needs sales boosts.

p sure American Idol hasn't taught Australian food execs much tbh
