G'day all,
I can assure you guys that Vegemite DOES NOT taste like Marmite.
They're quite different. But then again, you have to be a connoisseur!!!!!
Cheers, Ozzie

Vegemite trivia:
In April 1984, a 115g jar of Vegemite makes grocery store history by becoming the first product to be electronically scanned at the checkout in a supermarket in Australia. It was scanned in Woolworths at Chullora NSW and the price was 66 cents. The product is on display at Woolworths head office in NSW should anyone feel inclined to make a pilgrimage.
What year was Vegemite created? 1922
Another happy Vegemite-ite:

Vegemite is the only first aid kit a true Australian needs .. it can fix just about anything from mouth ulsers to a squeaky windmill to a broken heart. There is a bloke in Adelaide who paints outback scenes with it, there is a bloke in Sydney who varnishes furniture with it. "Vegemite Furniture of Western Sydney" not so much an advert as an attitude!

ps: Vegemite Furniture is no longer made with real vegemite :( (trouble with mice or bushrats or someth'n)

I can't remember if Nutella is a Santitarium product or ETA but it is very nice. I'll have it smeared on my man any day.

ps...actually...I have tried body chocolate for $12 and Nutella for $4 and I prefer Nutella - just some useless marketing information for ya! I have never tried vegemite smeared on my man - I can't think of anything more offputting actually!

II want to know what they put in it
Answer: 100% Brewers yeast - we're up to the eyeballs in the stuff (must be all the beer making going on ;)
Invest in Vegemite futures now i say - before this post causes a run on the stockpile. I guess we could compensate by doubling beer production
