  Thanks for all that information Mackin....and did you know it is now american owned?? LOL

  Just ask Dick Smith the electronics geezer, he kicked up a stink about it...and now he has his own line of products. I don't think they are taking off that well, consumers tend to stick to what they know regardless of who owns it.

  It strongly resists water and provides superior protection against rust and corrosion.

  Maybe it would be good for the health of my truck. It tends to rust.

  I love Vegemite, I really don't understand people who say it's disgusting, i.e. most of my family!

  I don't care if it's supposed to be "good" for you. I won't touch stuff like that with a barge pole.

  Love, Scully

  PS: What I really wanted to know about Vegemite is what they put in it!

  I am assuming it is similar in taste to Marmite ?

  My cousin used to work in a factory that processed yeast extract for these food types. He spent his day in huge vats with a wooden paddle scraping brown gunk off the walls and popping it onto trays. This yeast extract was then sold to companies who make such products.

  Now I love the taste, but my cousin told me that it nearly makes him vomit after working at the plant ....

  Dizzy Cat, Marmite is much more concentrated than Vegemite and should be spread much more sparingly. A ustralians often say they don't like Marmite. I wonder if it's because they initially think it's the same and then spread it too thickly. Anyone who does this will get a nasty shock!
