wtf

i know!! i found this out when i was trying to explain to jordan what is milo

Also there is Canadian milo it sounds awful tho:

Nestle has now introduced a Canadian version of Milo. It is made in Canada. It dissolves rapidly like Quik, probably due to market expectations, but still retains the Malt flavour. It is also sweeter than other varieties.

quik is for children ffs.

akta vite is bad milo competitor that is full of folate apparently

milo's great

no vote for NEVER HAD MARMITE NEVER HAD VEGEMITE ?? consider this a vote for milo then

if you've never had either then just vote MARMITE OKAY

I refuse to pretend to have a preference for what kind of processed manure you people on the wrong side of the planet rub all over yourselves before sexual intercourse

stop giving us ideas

it makes great lube

don't knock it till you've tried it, tombot

gross.

marmite maybe.

OMG sex ed when i was 14: teacher told us a story about a teenage couple using vicks' vaporub as lube..... YAOOOOOOOW

I wonder if that was on the curriculum: "warn the students of the discomforts of rubbing vaporub on their genitals".

which side are you from tombot, the inside?

My bassist once told the story of his masturbation experiences with ICY/HOT to the recording engineer when we were doing some songs and it definitely was a WTFTMI moment.

too much incandescence

too much icyhot

too much injudicious grointment

i would just like to point out that grointment has been otm throughout this thread

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

grointment.

out of loyalty to the board, affection for both the australian and the new zealander members, and because i lack personal experience with both vegemite and marmite, i voted twice, one time for each.

my aunt told a girl at her school that marmite was good for your skin and the next day the girl complained it had got all over her pillowcase. she was an olden days drongo.

lol that's ridiculous.

vegemite on toast with a fried egg is good hungover food fyi.

i am going to host a "which is better vegemite or marmite" tasting party (provided i can figure out where to buy them) when remy's here. won't that be fun?

to be brutally honest, i think it will be a bad times party.

vegemite is hangover miracle food.

lxy, i will send you some if you want, one of each.

i think we will have enough to drink that it will be a good times party in the end, but thank you for the warning, wilter.

thanks, estela, i'll let you know. first i will look around to see if i can find some here. say, did you ever try the bugles?

lol no, when i went to order them they were waiting for a shipment to arrive, then they moved premises and kept sending out funny frazzled email bulletins about how everything would be on track soon so i just left it, but i'll try again.

i just checked: any day now

I've noticed there are loads more places that stock American confectionary these days. Have you noticed this, estela?

yes and i'm glad because i have excessive <3 of milk duds and babe ruths.

<3 movie candy

TBBH, I'm not that into sweets, but it makes me happy that there is hershey's nonsense and stuff available, it makes aus confectionary seem super lame.

There is a really good place in Coolangatta.

where? (not that i get down there very often.)

In the shopping resort thingy. I don't even know what they call it these days, "showcase"?? on the ground floor. It has been there since I can remember.

YAY MILK DUDS

why does one recalcitrant dud always stick to the bottom of the box?

i always like that stubborn one the best, it is a classic dud.

actually, that one is the "dud", and the rest of them are known as "milks", hence the name

"recalcitrant dud"

the greatness of milk duds can not be exaggerated

lxy you must let me or estela send you the marmite and vegemite for your party - english marmite is VERY different to nz marmite, and if you do find some it'll probably be the yucky english stuff.

if i can get my hands on marmite or vegemite, i promise to make a drink out of each of them and report back.

FB will join me in this endeavor, he just isn't aware of that fact yet.

thank you, ruby. i will be sure NOT to buy a sucky english version, and will surely let you know if i am unable to find the real deal.

see, the offers for sending completely justify my dual, self-cancelling vote. i cannot not be forced to choose.

whatwhatwhat?? there are different marmites? why would they do that?! proper (uk) marmite is the pure, distilled essence of happy dreams - equal parts ambrosia, nectar and mana. vegemite is okay because it has a different name and it's your own fault if you buy that instead, but it makes me sad that there is a (likely inferior) product masquerading as marmite.

oh that would be terrific!! xoxo!

to think i had thought all those terrible earthquakes had had no redemptive aspects.

I REFUSE TO TAKE THE BAIT

mmm cenovis

favorite thread

I have discovered that avocado and vegemite work well together.

Stupid poll results. Some of the worst poll results I've ever seen. Hate this place

I looked into this and these results are in fact correct

I looked into you and realised where you got your name from (stinky opinions)

Look at the map above: Vegemite wins on land conquered.

I got really mad the other day because Anne Reardon did a bit on Vegemite and I usually love her stuff but she hates Vegemite and she ragged on it for a whole episode and said no one likes it unless theyre brought up with it from childhood, then proceeded to show a bunch of foreigners trying it straight from a fucking spoon. NO.

I don't hate the uncultured, I just pity them

But yeah Trayce, it's pretty egregious how non-vegemiter's go about trying Vegemite. Hate those "eating a spoon of vegemite" sort of vids

You're all wrong, the correct answer is peanut butter

An (American) friend used to insist that vegemite and marmite were both just solid soy sauce, I once made the mistake of trying to argue about this, then swore not to ever engage in any marmite or vegemite discussions ever again.

What you should have taken from that experience is not to argue with an American again

Reminds me of another argument I had with another American friend when we went to a restaurant and he asked for "Worshestershire" sauce and I did an involuntary laugh. NB: I am from Worcester.

School me, I've grown up saying "wis-ter-sher" sauce with the accent on the "Wis". I think I've got the syllables right? but have a feeling the accent is off

I know it says "Worcestershire" on the label but I've only heard it called "Worcester sauce" IRL, which is /ˈwʊstər/ "WOOS-ter"

Anyway no judgement, it is an annoying spelling, but he was annoyed at me for laughing and then told me that I was the one pronouncing it incorrectly.

Wait till you hear how I used to pronounced Leicester in primary school

Funny story though! Looking forward to smuggly correcting my families pronunciation next steak night. Thanks for the tip

*They're all gonna laugh at me for calling it "rooster sauce" with a lisp*

"Sorry, did you say Lye-kes-ter Square?"

American, proudly: "No, I said Lye-cess-ter Square!"

Did I mention that he was called Chandler?

Is there a thread for making fun of American pronunciations? I've got a gotta posts I could put in there

*lotta

something something raymond luxury-yacht.

I have never tried Vegemite. It is quite lacking in aesthetic appeal.

I have never tried vegemite, it is quite lacking in availability over here - I'm sure you can get it if you really want. I'd be interested to compare it to marmite, which I neither love nor hate.

I presume pronouncing it like 'yosemite' is a hoary old gag.

They did have a big push on Vegemite in the UK maybe 30 years ago? It never really took because all right thinking Britishes said, no thanks, we'll stick with Marmite, it's much nicer.

yes that would probably be about right - my mum got some and that was our exact reaction to it

+1 for "Worcester sauce", no "shire". label be damned. I worked in the Lea & Perrins factory as a temp in the 90s, the smell put me off the stuff for a couple of years

IIRC from my one trip to the UK in the 90s, Marmite is... sweeter? Like its still savoury but not as briskly savoury as Vegemite is.
