Les goûts aiment la merde dans une fiole sounds classy.

New Vegemite Experience sounds like the name of a 1980s band.

I think that was one of Prince's bands.

WTF is Vegemite? It sounds like some sort of bug that wreaks havoc on your vegetable garden.

 
snuff3r [TotalFark] 2009-06-14 11:28:49 AM  
Ohhh HELLS NO! Vegemite is a farking staple in our house. I'm going to be so farking pissed if they've changed it.

 
Driver [recently expired TotalFark] 2009-06-14 11:44:30 AM  
Since they're also going to keep the old Vegemite going as well... how about calling them: "New Vegemite" and "Vegemite Classic".

/however Venezuela will probably ban "Vegemite Zero".

 
God Is My Co-Pirate 2009-06-14 11:51:11 AM  
Vegemite is disgusting. Marmite, on the other hand, is fantastic and delicious comfort food on hot buttered toast.

Watch out or some president will try to declare it a food group.

Vegemite is a paste made out of extra-terrestrial semen that some people like to eat.

Just smile.

One thing Kraft hasn't come up with is a name for the Vegemite "experience".

Too bad somebody already invented the term "projectile vomiting".

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich

Where beer does flow and men chunder
Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

Have you ever worked in food service and eaten a spoonful of that beef base paste on a dare?

Kinda tastes like that. But worse.

 
Scutter 2009-06-14 01:14:15 PM  
Since they don't have a new name for it yet, they managed to cram the word "Vegemite" in that advertisement article twenty times.

 
scifarker 2009-06-14 01:14:34 PM  
"Vegemite is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, and various vegetable and spice additives. The taste may be described as salty, slightly bitter, and malty - somewhat similar to the taste of beef bouillon." - wikipedia

/how 'bout no.

People all over the world eat cockroaches, fecal matter and centipedes too, doesn't mean it tastes any good. I guess Obama won't have to bail out Kraft anytime soon if they can afford to play around with failures like that.


/Calm down, failure meaning failure in the US.

 
ElLoco 2009-06-14 01:15:49 PM  
The stuff is ok, I guess. It's a spread, like the dozens of other spreads, just meaty tasting.

It's certainly not worth all the hoopla that tends to surround it. Personally, I prefer a good ripe cheddar and hot sauce or jalapenos on my crackers.

Beef bouillon - good. Beef base paste - bad. Vegemite - vomit inducing stuff of nightmares.

 
basilbrush 2009-06-14 01:17:15 PM  
Add bland to it and they will.

 
Prohest 2009-06-14 01:17:51 PM  
If Americans wont eat it, it must be delicious..

\Will try

Anyone for some frito mierda?

/Still won't eat this either

No way will I eat anything that comes from Australia. They are all criminals and probably put spiders in the food.

"Vegemite". Yeah right, that's prbably Australian for "I'm going to steal your belongings and feed you spider food."

 
Jocundry 2009-06-14 01:22:47 PM  
I, an American, love Vegemite.

So there!

 
luckyeddie 2009-06-14 01:23:05 PM  
Marmite lite.

/love the real stuff

 
Kumana Wanalaia [TotalFark] 2009-06-14 01:23:26 PM  
I'm an American and I've tasted marmite.

And I can tell you, what has been tasted, cannot be un-tasted.

God Is My Co-Pirate: Vegemite is disgusting. Marmite, on the other hand, is fantastic and delicious comfort food on hot buttered toast.

NO. NO NO NO.

Marmite is the second most repulsive thing I have ever tasted in my life, given to me on toast by a Welsh chick that thought it was the shiz. "Shiz" it may very well be! Only the live polio virus inoculation tasted worse to me, closely followed by raw sea urchin, another Brit favorite.

 
davidt 2009-06-14 01:24:19 PM  
Marmite>Vegemite

I use 1/2 tsp of Marmite in my soups. It's like a cheap mirapoux.

 
zamboni 2009-06-14 01:25:24 PM  
And the award for most gratuitous use of the word "Vegemite" in a news article goes to... big surprise! The Age!!!

8 years of French, and all I understood was "merde dans une".

/thanks, babelfish!

Kurmudgeon 2009-06-14 01:28:27 PM  
"and probably put spiders in the food."
My cats think they are tasty, though they prefer wasps. I imagine they think they are poppers on wings.
Tried Marmite once, uhh, no thanks.

 
phalamir 2009-06-14 01:29:27 PM  
FTFA:While the exact recipe is a closely-held secret, the new Vegemite experience is, basically, regular vegemite combined with cream cheese.

So they mixed pig shiat and cream cheese?

 
TheOther [TotalFark] 2009-06-14 01:29:49 PM  
Sell it to soccer fans. Those people will swallow anything.

And marmite is simply pig shiat mixed with goose semen.

 
Bill_Wick's_Friend 2009-06-14 01:31:01 PM  
Americans will eat the New Vegemite.

It's got fat in it.

grinderman: Or, I'll just pour salt on my bread.

Vegemite's the saltiest thing I ever tasted, and I once ate a big heaping bowl of salt.

 
Abacot 2009-06-14 01:32:53 PM  
It is actually good on Kangaroo burgers. Eating it on bread or crackers by itself is disgusting.

 
robmilmel [TotalFark] 2009-06-14 01:33:44 PM  
Being a chef, I've eaten some things most Americans wouldn't try-from durian to all sorts of offal to shiat that I wasn't sure of what it was.
Vegemite was the nastiest thing I've ever tried, when eaten on bread. Add a teaspoon to a gallon of, say, beef stroganoff or such and it is a decent flavor enhancer; but Vegemite had to have been created by by minds such as the kid in school who would eat anything for a quarter (I think he's now the guy who smells people's armpits for a deodorant company).

 
Chilton 2009-06-14 01:34:39 PM  
It has the cream cheese? I'll try it.
