What's with the new Vegemite?

[Krusty the Klown]

They're dumping the new name?

What a shock!!!!

To quote that guy who runs the comic book store in my town......

"Worst name everrrrr......"

Are they having a new comp or going over the previous entries??

I think a new competition. I didn't realise that once opened, it has a shelf life of 30 days and has to be refrigerated. We can't go through it that quickly. Not that we liked it anyway but I guess some might.

No surprise!

Regionalism has always been a huge battle for multi-national conglomerates.

The "Ã'm sorry, your version is unpalatable" is a marketing oversight. But not in their eyes.

Who knows best? This is always what it comes down to.

As this website always advises DYOR!! LOL

Guy at work was spewing when he heard the winning name, because he thought he had a pearler but didnt put it in. I wont tell you what it is because now he probably will enter it.

I will let you know if he wins (his name is Ron S). What is the prize anyway?

If I entered it I would suggest vegewill (not mite) or Dadmite (not Marmite)...

ok I will tootle off to bed now, I think i need sleep!

Isn't the prize like a lifetimes supply of iSnack 2.0?? :

Yet another reason not to buy this stuff. As I said earlier, the name wouldn't last, (and it hasn't!) and neither would the product. I give it 2 months before it's off the shelves for good.

The prize can't be returned - it was two tickets to the AFL Grand Final! Seems they are running some 'independent surveys' right now to determine the new name and it will be announced tomorrow!

I would suggest Vegescam.

The problem Kraft had with Vegemite was that a jar lasts forever. They had to come on with a product that had to be spread on thickly and costs more than Philly and Vegemite spread separately. Hence Vegescam.

One of our kids (teenager) wanted to try it.....it did not last 30 days as we put it in the bin the next day. Even the smell of it made me feel sick not to mention the taste.

I had a block of the new Cadbury Vegemite chocolate on the weekend :




And then I started getting bombarded with alternatives. The best one being the Winfield Blue slab.
