Ever since Men at Work sang about it (for you oldies out there) Vegemite has been well known the world over - before that and today, it is a household name in Australia - their version of Marmite.

So why on Earth have they renamed it iSnack 2.0 ???

Aussies, always good for a laugh!!!!

The marketing team at Kraft Foods/The new Vegemite group are:
a) 13 year olds in fancy suits
b) Vegemite haters who want to take the piss
c) Marketers who don’t have a clue and couldn’t be assed reading through the entries
d) All of the above

Vegemite or iSnack 2.0 = Marmite Walt.

Don't panic! The new vegemite thing is not replacing the original.

The new vegemite has cheese flavour added (don't know why).

Proper vegemite is still available at Woolworths (no relation to the UK Woolworths)

So Sorry, Vegemite was the FIRST recycled BEER product, Marmite was and always is a rippoff of the original best part of Fosters lager

Not according to Wankipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegemite

Vegemite was invented in 1922

The Marmite Food Extract Company was formed in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England, in 1902

Of course Wankipedia isn't always correct. Interesting start to the day.

Give me crunchy peanut butter any day

The cream cheese has been added so butter is no longer required on bread with the new stuff and it can spread easier straight from the fridge. Apparently.

I'll add Marmite on white bread with peanut butter spread on top to the equation...it has to be crunchy peanut butter though, you don't want to ruin the taste

Well I like it!
