806532	2009-09-03 06:45:00	I've been doing some research: We're happy little Vegemites As bright as bright can be. We all enjoy our Vegemite For breakfast, lunch and tea. Our Mummies say we're growing stronger Every single week Because we love our Vegemite. We all adore our Vegemite. IT PUTS A ROSE IN EVERY CHEEK! We're growing stronger every week! and..................... United States ban rumour In October 2006, the Melbourne newspaper, the Herald Sun incorrectly reported that Vegemite had been banned in the United States, and that the United States Customs Service had gone so far as to search Australians entering the country for Vegemite. The story appears to have originated as an anecdote by a traveller who claimed to have been searched by US Customs. Also, a spokesperson for Kraft made a misinformed comment to reporters. The story led to some anti-American comments in blogs and newspapers. The Herald Sun blamed George W. Bush, at the time the president of the United States, for the ban, and encouraged readers to post comments on its website and send emails to the White House. The US Food and Drug Administration later stated that there were no plans to subject Vegemite to an import ban, or withdraw it from supermarket shelves. The United States Customs and Border Protection also tried to dispel the rumour, stating on its website that "there is no known prohibition on the importation of Vegemite" and "there is no official policy within CBP targeting Vegemite for interception".[9] The story of the "ban" later took on the status of urban legend.[10] While Vegemite has never been popular in the US, it can still be purchased at supermarkets that stock imported food items.[11] Surprise! My wife put some in a ham and cheese sandwich tonight and I never noticed it - she just told me - and I didn't get sick or anything! Thinking back it was a little saltier than normal but not out of my taste boundaries. This requires some more eatin' research! Mmmmm - good!	SurferJoe46 (51)

806534	2009-09-03 08:17:00	Throw away the vegemite. I like marmite on hot buttered (lots of butter) toast, spread reasonably thinly. Try it! Pine-o-cleen has it wrong here Joe - he should have said "throw away the Marmite and spread the Vegemite on the toast" :thumbs:	decibel (11645)
806535	2009-09-03 08:29:00	I kid you not here. The use of the word Vegemite in a sentence nearly got me the sack once. Was delivering diesel out in the bush and had to wait while trees were being felled so got out of the truck and talked to one of the workers. A nice fine day and I remarked, "Are you a happy Vegemite?" Answer was "That's a racist comment." I asked why. Reply, "Vegemite is black." The comment may have been thoughtless but was not meant to be a comment as to skin colour. So Vegemite may be dangerous to your health which is why I now buy Marmite. On the other hand if you don't talk you may be considered aloof.	Sweep (90)

806537	2009-09-03 08:51:00	The reason it's not eaten in the US is because it's not sweet (although it has sugar). And dammit, it's getting harder to find unsweetened peanut butter in this country as it's mostly from Oz - who have to ape the yanks.	seltsam (13470)
