seeder Posted April 1, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well here in the UK we have Marmite and you either love it or hate it, as we say! I happen to love it on hot buttered crumpets, but would I drink it? HELL NO! But those daring Ozzies have made an energy drink out of the stuff!! quote: Vegemite posted news of the launch of a new product, iDRINK 2.1 "The iconic brand announced the energy drink with this: “Start your day with our NEW Vegemite iDRINK 2.1 energy drink! Will you swap your Vegemite toast for this when you’re on the go?” Come on, we’re all for Vegemite on toast but an energy drink? https://www.facebook.com/vegemite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted April 1, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I've never seen/smelled/tasted the stuff, but considering what I've just read...no way! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrLzs Posted April 1, 2014 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Promite's better, it's April 1, and besides, like he said, Bonox and Bovril have been around for years anyway. As for those who have never tried any of these yeast-based spreads, first remember that they are using a by-product of beer, so that can't be all bad.. And if you get brave enough to try it, make sure you have very fresh crusty bread, a reasonable dab of cool butter, and then thinly spread a little Vegemite/Promite on... Heaven. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffSplitkins Posted April 1, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 1, 2014 One time I was 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
