Honestly, Mary! If a product happens to meet certain dietary restrictions then it’s just sensible to indicate as much so that you don’t lose customers who follow those diets. Same with products that are kosher, that are vegan and that are gluten free.

An objection to Vegemite being marked halal is a racist one, and I would suggest you have a read of our article on the absurdity of Australian nationalist hatred.

Horrifying news everyone: New Vegemite is to be known as iSnack 2.0. I checked the date and it is indeed 26 September and not 1 April, so it seems this is no prank.

Its sheer wrongheaded awfulness almost needs to be admired: not only was there never such a snack as iSnack 1.0, and not only is it embarrassingly dated and uncool to piggyback on Apple terminology, but this is also not even remotely a tech-related product!

C’mon, they not replacing Vegemite, it’s an additional product line. From the media reports, it tastes quite nice. Looks like chocolate too, very clever Kraft!

Well thank goodness they haven’t mixed it with the phili and sweet chilli stuff.
Leave Vegimite as it is. Come on, it just aint vegimite if you go mixing in a load of cream cheeze.
And what this about it being hard to spread? If you can’t manage spreading vegimite then you shouldn’t be let near a butter knife.

If the general population are keen for it, then I’m all for Vaginamite and Penis Butter. But, this philly cream cheese/vegemite combo is just wrong. WRONG!

Quark is delicious and quite easy to make at home (not to be consfused with sub-atomic particles).

However, cream cheese and vegemite is SACRILEGE and not to be tolerated.

Still, if they insist, the only sensible name that all Australians could get behind is ‘Vaginamite’. Who’s with me?!
