I am proud to say that I've never eaten Marmite -- on the other hand I have
Vegemite on toast every day! It is delicious, and I can hardly imagine life
without it.
Random Vegemite Trivia:
* Launched in competiton to Marmite, Vegemite was for a time called Parwill.
The fantastic planned advertising campaign was "Marmite, but Parwill"!!
Fortunately sanity prevailed, and today we're all "Happy little Vegemites, as
bright as bright can be".
* Vegemite is one of the world's richest sources of B vitamins, and makes a
great hangover cure.
* Vegemite is now owned by Kraft/Philip Morris. There will soon be a competing
brand "Ozemite", which will be wholly Australian owned.
