MARMITE RULZ AND VEGEMITE SUX SHIT

i admire your dedication to truth and science, jjjusten. however please be aware:

i just had a brainwave, i opened the homecoming vegemite to check how much had been used during the testing and i almost fainted when i saw how much was missing, it was about ten loaves of bread worth.

apparently american butter knives are too large to manage the delicacy required for spreading yeast extracts. maybe use a hummingbird feather or barbie cutlery for applying?

xp @ estela: i was shocked and amazed you never tried to foist it on me, the jar was right there! notice i kept my mouth shut on the topic.

use an imaginary knife to spread it

aw<3<3 harry on the refrigerator being a bad influence.

i don't know if i ever explained this to you, jj, but the jar of vegemite in the photo was larger than the one i sent you, so harry is probably bigger than you think, though still a scrap.

JJ got the smaller one?!

if the foreign lands can not accept our paul bunyan styled butter knives to spread our flapjacks there is no hope for world peace tbh xxpost

no jergins, you both got the same size but for the photo i used my personal jar which i buy in the larger size because i eat it every single day of my life except last wednesday.

ok for the purposes of perspective:

someone call the aspca, his poor nose is right next to the marmite.

such sad eyes

the bovril has sealed itself into an impenetrable unopenable form

after this test was concluded, henry went outside and pooped

not saying, just saying

we didn't mention this upthread, but since neither of them post anymore i think it's okay: after our tasting remy and lingbert had a footrace to the bathroom

<3 @ all of this.

in the vegemite photo henry looks wistful and intrigued but in the marmite one he looks offended and a bit strict, i think that is because you crossed the line, jj.

hahaha uhoh dark horse contender ROUND THREE BOVRIL:

follow up where henry attempts to take the bovril as his own:

why would anyone want to eat anything called bovril?!

i am so close to calling animal cruelty hotline on you, j.

to be fair he also likes the taste of his own junk so i am not sure how that applies to the question at large

we see some sights here also.

note that JJ's dog only looks suspiciously at the marmite AFTER tasting the vegemite.

what i note is it dawning on henry that jj didn't save the best for last.

biting the bovril pic owns so completely

lmao

The most awkward thing when I first started my job here were exchanges like,
"Where's the Marmite?"
"What's Marmite?"

"Where do you have Milo?"
"What's that?"
"You're not kiwi, are you."

That and half the people in Auckland are from other parts of the world and ask me for products that I not only have never heard of but aren't available in NZ and send me on a ridiculous scavenger hunt about the store.

the real winners of this contest: milo and fake jaffas from darrel lea

and jjj's dog trying to swallow the bovril jar

can u send me some l&p and choc pineapple things then, thx bro (xp)

I could use some hot buttered toast with bovril right about now.

this thread should be renamed henry's choice.

the note says "dear nz, thx 4 the loan <3 lxy, jergins, lingbert, remy"

(left for some lucky marmite lover to find at the top of the cable car route)

omg i hope in the next week i see a facebook status update that says "found a jar of marmite belonging to some ppl with strange names today!!"

the toast in this photo has been spread WAY TOO THICK with double-blind substances

agreed.

shoulda been cut in triangles, not squares

Triangles = how the cool mums cut it
Squares = how your nanna cuts it

i've suspected all along that the vegemite testing night was a heavyhanded blunderfest.

we WARNED them, we tried, we did all we could

it was no good

let's not overlook the central problem, that you guys sent us marmite and vegemite

xxp that stuff is impossible to spread lightly, way too thick. the bovril spread beter than the other two. maybe travelling over the IDL made them congeal? changing hemispheres caused some kind of hardening reaction?

xp NO ONE warned me about cutting into triangles, btw, therefore i take umbrage at the nanna comment.

jergins otm

rong

maybe we should have asked the dudes at the pub to make us a vegemite pizza

ugh

maybe you all should have just mailed some pre-spread toast.

surprised that they didnt really being it was in The Rocks and was full of American tourists (xp)
