The New Vegemite

Aliantha · 08-11-2009, 05:26 PM

I bought a jar or the new stuff yesterday, and I have to say, I much prefer it to the old vegemite. It's really yummy. I think even our OS friends might like it (and suspect that's why it's been produced).

I entered the naming competition this morning too.

Have you tried it? Do you have an idea for a name?

If it's that good, name it Vegewill.

Nyuck nyuck nyuck...

Update, update, please. What's the story? Are they still producing the old stuff or did I eat my last lot of traditional Vegemite 4 months ago when the tube I brought with me ran out?

True vegemite is still available and will remain so for ever.

There was a rumuor that it would be taxed as part of a plan to discourage high-salt foods. Rudd knows that would be political suicide. Un-Australian!

You only took ONE tube?

I don't approve of the tubes, myself, I think vegemite should come in a jar. The tubes might be good, though, for tricking furriners into using it as toothpaste. bwahahahaha

Don't stress mate. lol They're still making the old stuff. They've just come up with a slightly different version that's all - to sell at the same time. It's a bit milder and sort of cheesey and creamy.

My name suggestion was vegemite junior...cause it's kinda like the older version, but has it's own flavour.

Phew! Wipe sweat off brow.

In hindsight, it was a mistake.

Call it Marmite.

No no no, that's VB.

But first you have to push your 'cruiser out of a river.

ETA. Not exactly, you can get it any old how.

When you win the naming competition, can we come up to Brisbane and share the spoils with you?

What was wrong with the old vegemite? Never mind, that question is unintentionally rhetorical.

lol...sure, although I don't know what the prize is. I think it might just be kudos.

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the old vegemite. I much prefer Promite, but I'll have vegemite if the alternative is not available.

The new vegemite however, is an entirely different thing. I'll definitely be keeping a jar of that stuff in the larder permanently (I have vegemite too, but it doesn't get opened much).

Aliantha · 08-13-2009, 05:55 PM

Mmmm...I just looooove the new vegemite. Just had some on toast for breaky.

Yummo!
