Next thing you know we'll be having to get managers and PR agents. Ho Hum. Filing nails. :-)
Do Not - repeat NOT - watch this link if you want to have that song in your head or if you want to see "pop ups" that explain vegemite, chunder, etc.

Who GIVES a crap about their stupid Vegamite???
We have a right to ban ANYTHING from any other country.
Whatever. In the end it's a restriction on the rights of Americans to buy vegamite from overseas. And it shouldn't be the government's business.
Why do you hate freedom?
Brewer's Yeast (dry powdered form) is a perennial in health food stores. It's supposed to be rich in B vitamins and was apparently used successfully in the american south by the U.S. Health Service in the dirty thirties to stave off pellagra and ricketts in kids.
Apparently they need a new PR person for the US.
I once had a roommate who called vegetables "vuh-jett'-uh-bulls" ... soooo ... maybe the spokescharacter could be "Vegemite Sam" - "vuh-jemm'-uh-tee sam". You're darn tootin'!
Dregs from the breweries. In the USA we use it for cattle feed.
My mother, who grew up in England, tried to get us to eat Marmite once. We joked about it for years afterward.
Spot on.
Anyone who spreads it like it is on that cracker is asking for trouble.
I'd be hard pressed to remember a dozen days in my entire life that I haven't had Vegemite on toast.Trully the breakfast of champions!
Champion what I don't know....but I love the stuff.
The FDA is denying entry to the vegemite, so goes the story, because it is supplemented with folate. That's OK in Australia but is only allowed for breads and cereals in USA.
Congress should be asked to pass a Vegemite Act. The amount of folate that one could get from the amount of vegemite one could stomach, would be very little.
Even though I only tried it once, I thought Marmite tasted a lot like if you took a whole gallon of soy sauce and boiled off the water until is was as thick as motor oil. Yech!
Hells Bells, so do I. Speaking of which, Men at Work in that song) make reference to the god forsaken Volkswagen bus. I cannot remember what they call it. I will have nightmares with peaceniks driving these buses for days. Oh, the calamity and horror associated with that video.
Vegemite is a fair dinkum delicacy!
"We have a right to ban ANYTHING from any other country."
Perhaps, but Americans also have the right to eat Vegemite, if they wish. Why do you hate liberty?

Oh now that looks tasty, axle grease on a cracker.
..he just gave me a bite-a my sandwich....
The American company of KRAFT has its hands in this dirty deed??? Yuck. Maybe I'll never buy Kraft cheese or dressings again! ;-)
Just because you have the right to be stupid doesn't mean you're obligated to exercise it.
