Visitors to my place can have jam or honey or baked beans or just olive oil marg to spread on their toast, but they're not having effin' Vegemite.
(I swore never to buy it again after the divorce, since it was the bloody ex's favourite, bleurgh)

aaaaaaah just when i come into the thread i hear children yelling again, this time about death.
OK, this isn't epic fail. Vegemite is for wimps. Marmite is where it's at, though.

one of the plethora of things i hate about this job is having to make the kids marmite toast, or marmite coissants, or marmite anything. 
out of curiosity how much does a jar of marmite cost there? i'm wondering how much we get raped on prices.
ewwwww. i really need to try marmite but my mom doesn't want to buy it if i hate itwhen i'm making a meal for just me, i usually take the easy way out and just make rice. it's cheap and easy.
yeah, that is awesome. that's like the kind of thing you'd see in a movie or something to have like a whole class cheering you on while you rant.
You should've driven/caught a bus/hitch-hiked/walked to Franklin in 2005! I had Marmite with me then.
Ha, yeah. Or a doco about the sixties. That's what it felt like. One of the other students had just advocated a revolution before I spoke.
lol, you brought marmite with you?You should've driven/caught a bus/hitch-hiked/walked to Franklin in 2005! I had Marmite with me then.

Oh, it's on the continent?
For the record, British Marmite is not the same as our Marmite. Ours is stronger and thicker.
Uhh ... I'm honestly not sure! I haven't bought it in ages. But my last jar just ran out, so I'll find out how much it costs soon enough.

I'm thinking 80s John Hughes brat pack movie....
ha, okay. and yours is stronger? shit, i wonder whether the store carries british or australian marmite. well, it'll be easy enough to figure out next time i'm at the store.
lol, yeah, i'm picturing it too now
lol, you brought marmite with you?
Yep. Kate's family wanted Vegemite, so I brought that for them, but I wasn't going to stomach that myself and brought my own Marmite.

You can bring your own MarmiteI didn't think I'd be welcome anyway.
ha! so is vegemite just basically a diluted version? i don't know if i've ever seen anything other than marmite in stores, so vegemite wouldn't even be an option. though i'll admit it, my first time hearing of either was in the song down under by men at work
If it helps, ours is made by Sanitarium, while the British one ... well, it was Marmite Foods, but now it's a trademark of Unilever or something. I suppose I could check Wikipedia but I'm lazy.
we need to step this up if you guys want me to stay up for the new thread 
i'm getting sleepy.
i'm getting sleepy.
i'll help. i'll spam the thread.
ahh, okay. i did look at the label once and i recognized the company's name but couldn't remember what, so it must've been unilever. boo.
yes, wikipedia tells me i'm right. the uk jar of marmite looks like what we have here. boo.

No, Vegemite just has a different composition of ingredients. That's how our Marmite became different to the British one too, since they were once the same but we changed things up a bit - the Brit one is apparently more salty, though everyone I know who's tried it reckons ours is the more intense one.
