they're changing the name of Vegemite?

i just read a news story about this, apparently some Australians are upset because Kraft Foods Australia wants rename the product 'Vegemite iSnack 2.0'.

that's just stupid.

so Australians (and everybody else): do you eat the stuff and do you give a monkey's what it's called?

I thought it was that new Vegemite product that was having a name change, and not Vegemite itself. That kinda sucks but I'll still eat it.

Yeah they added a new one. It's Vegemite with a cheesy taste !!!!

Apparently there was a call for names and thousands of people entered...they ended up with iSnack 2.0.

WTF?????

There's been such an uproar that they are deciding what to rename it to now....

Eeeek vegemite with a cheesy taste, sounds kinda weird, is it any good?

Yah I don't like that name either, it's quite lame.

No way I'm going to try it.....

I dare you!

Mind you I have never eaten vegemite so I googled it to see what exactly it is...AND i found this for you guys!!


During the 1990s, Kraft released a product in Australia known as Vegemite Singles. It combined two of Kraft's major products into one. The product consisted of Kraft Singles with Vegemite added, thus creating Vegemite-flavoured cheese. This extension of the Vegemite product line was an attempt by Kraft to capitalise on the enormous popularity of Vegemite and cheese sandwiches (made by placing a slice of cheese into a Vegemite sandwich). Vegemite Singles were later taken off the market, possibly due to poor sales

maybe mac/apple will step in and squash that shit with a big fat law suit on copyright infringement

imma find this stuff one day and try it.

Is Vegemite the same as Marmite? Marmite is what they call it in the UK. Are there any differences?

I like the normal one too but the idea of mixing it with what must be liquid cheese flavoured dribble is a little pukey to me.

I totally agree. I won't be going near that if I see they've started imported it at Food Land.

There's a whole land?

It would be a nice place to live.

There's Villa supermarkets that get all that imported stuff too. That's where I get Promite.

Can you get decent Kimchi over there? There isn't one place I can buy it in my town...have to get it in the city and sit on a train for two hours with the stinky stuff.

Also can you get a decent Guinness?

the new variety is okay for a dip etc...but dont want it on my toast

AND it needs to be refrigerated once opened...cream cheese in it

vegemite is wayy better than marmite/promite etc

The Orginal and best!!

Australian/New zealand's marmite is way to salty. Vegemite isn't too bad, but has a horrible after-taste!!
If you can get the english, you can find around in some places!
