nu-vegemite tate test liveblog thread

saw this at the supermarket earlier, couldn't help myself

the toast is ready!!

hmmm

^concerning

this is ok actually! spreads well, perfect for toast i think. BUT i question its usefulness on other non-toasted bread types. will the nation embrace such a focused spread???

the flavour hasn't got the real bite of when, say, you put a big hunk on. ppl who love that probably need not apply here.

also needs to be refridgerated once opened... can imagine many could leave it out and have it go bad.

oh man i think i'm a convert here

the flavour hasn't got the real bite of when, say, you put a big hunk on. ppl who love that probably need not apply here.

Maybe they should call it VEGEMITE FOR WIMPS, WOMEN, POOFS AND FOREIGNERS then!!

they're not planning on replacing the original with this are they? they wouldn't dare, right?

i don't think they would dare, i expect they want us eating both. i peered at the ---mite yesterday and thought about buying some but then i decided not to but now i think i will.

Quite frankly, the rumours that it Vegemite + Cream Cheese has put me off from buying it forever.

If they decide to replace the original, it would start a Civil War.

I will fight in that war

the rumours that it Vegemite + Cream Cheese has put me off from buying it forever.

vegetmi

looool

if they phased out the old recipe... it would be new coke x 1,000,000

good to see j0hn is a fan of the national spread!!

So *is* it a vege+creamcheeze monstrosity? What did they end up calling it (I havent noticed it on the shelves!). Do you still have it with butter? its not right without melted butter.

^^ real talk

Ya if this is just some kind of nutella-spread shit I ain't trying.

I haven't heard of this... what is it?

vege max

i bought some on the weekend. waay not vegemitey enough u__u

I put about an inch thick on some toast and it tasted like artificial cheeze

i was out of town when i bought it and left in the friend I was with's fridge, i was that disappointed w/it.

still waiting for estela's tasting results!!!

Vegemite and cheese

During the 1990s, Kraft released a product in Australia known as Vegemite Singles. It combined two of Kraft's major products into one. The product consisted of Kraft Singles with Vegemite added, thus creating Vegemite-flavoured cheese. This extension of the Vegemite product line was an attempt by Kraft to capitalise on the enormous popularity of Vegemite and cheese sandwiches (made by placing a slice of cheese into a Vegemite sandwich). Vegemite Singles were later taken off the market, possibly due to poor sales.

nu-Vegemite needs to go the way of Vegemite Singles imo, I say this without 1) having tasted nu-vegemite and 2) without having any intention of tasting nu-vegemite

made trad vegemite and cheese melt on nice roll for lunch, like a classy take on the cheesymite scroll, was A++

niiice

local baker makes the most unvegemitey cheeseymite scroll ever u__u.

I'm basically forced into sweetchilli & cheese scroll which is ok.

i maintain that nu-vegemite is balls btw.

o olden times every person on the MARMITE RULZ AND VEGEMITE SUX SHIT thread made me laugh

jim w/2nd response hof

lol

haha that thread reminded me of the screaming hell that is akta vite

missed that thread first go-round. i coulda evened the score up!!

rubyredd was dunking the marmite'd toast into the milo??????? good god.

Those vegemite kraft singles werent *too* bad, but they did have this weird fake flavour. I am wondering if thats what this nu-mite tastes like.

TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.
Kraft has blown it in this household, all their products have already been dumped, NO MORE Kraft products in my house, ever.
And as to their stockpile of product, very simple boys and girls......... dump it!

yeah nothing like an overreaction there dude

lol news.com.au rite

vegemalarkey

vegemaybe

Hahah yeah those comments are gold - I love the other one "I boycott all Kraft products cos theyre owned by Phillip Morris" - which um, isnt actually true, but hey more Vegemite and Kraft singles for me, duder.

that makes you sound a little bit greedy.

imagine if kraft was just owned by some guy called phillip morris, and he's been copping that sort of abuse for years now, and hasn't made the connection yet

haaa

starting to think they chose comically bad name to get more ppl talking about it and distract from actually bad product

Shamu D-S has been slutting it up all over the bulletin boards; thank goodness for internet articles & comments sections, so much more immediately gratifying than sending an angry letter to the editor.

Regardless of Krafts' intention I (a grumpy old baby boomer) have removed all Kraft products from my home.
A pointless exercise maybe, biting my nose off to spite my face.... definitely, but, enough is enough. Kraft have insulted me and for that matter I would venture to say insulted many Australians so if nothing else I have the personal satisfaction of a metaphorical "UP YOURS" to Kraft and the num-nuls that thought of or should I say approved this "Titanic Hindenburg" of a product launch.

Well, good ol' Vegemite has gotten halal certification...oh sorry, I meant that "Vegemite becomes politically correct ".

Muslim leaders have congratulated Kraft for introducing the labels, but Family Council of Victoria secretary Bill Muehlenberg questioned the company's motives.

"This is a private company trying to make money," Mr Muehlenberg said. "I don't think they care a rip about offending the tastebuds of Muslims.

"Why do we have to keep bending over backwards to please minority groups? There are only 300,000 Muslims in Australia out of 22 million people, which is a very small percentage.

"Of course, there's a case for making allowances for different cultures, but aren't we getting a bit carried away with political correctness here? It's ridiculous."

Mr Muehlenberg feared the halal labelling was also a sign of "Islamisation" of western countries.

"We're already seeing sharia law courts operating in Britain," he said. "Where does it end?

Yep - today, they're putting a halal label on a jar of Vegemite. Tomorrow, they're making women wear the hijab on Cronulla Beach!

Also: complaining about a private business pandering to the whims of a minority group then fearing that this minority group of 300,000 is going to bring Sharia Law to 21.7 million non-Muslims puts you deep into nutbag territory.

Thankfully, they've reposted the story to allow comments from Murdoch-reading wackos.

I bought the Herald Sun this morning and when I read this article logged on so I could register my vote. As long as that Halal symbol appears on Vegemite I will NEVER buy vegemite again - not in a million years - of that u can be sure.

STICK IT TO THE AYATOLLAH, BOB

Darren of berwick, VIC Posted at 2:59 PM January 24, 2010

If Muslims were really 'becoming more Aussie', they would be eating our vegemimite even if it wasnt halal.

uh

Do these dickheads not know about kosher foods?

Murdoch-reading wackos

tautology

Yeah, alright. Settle down, professor.

anyone who patronises murdoch's rubbish newspapers can get fucked btw tbh iirc

imagine if some wag sent them iSnack 2.0 pots, you know, the thousands of them that are sitting in supermarkets unbought

not sure what to make of this

will u have to butter each chip???

these sound disgusting

if it was meant to be, vegemite chipwiches would already be a thing

btw my initial posi response to iFuckenSnack 2.fucken0 was not followed up by re-purchase - have not gone there since

i never tried it, don't feel like i've missed out particularly. why mess around with a thing

http://i54.tinypic.com/k1cthd.jpg

^these weren't amazing iirc

In A Biskit: truly the poor man's Shapes

still not interested in iSnack 2.dud, but will totally try vegemite Smiths if I happen to go to a Coles while they're out

missed almost all of those "reader's suggestions" chips that were out last year though. maybe there was a lamb chop flavoured one I tried?

Would eat, tbh.

Actually I thoguht a vegeChip had been done before! I guess not. Perhaps I am thinking of Heinz sauce chips.

We had marmite crisps for a while:

They tasted like...strong beef crisps.

strong, beef, crisps
