Thread Name: BS: Oh, no!! US bans Vegemite
Subject: RE: BS: Oh, no!! US bans Vegemite
Now when we read in the paper about police confiscating "certain substances" after raids we'll have to keep in mind that it might be yeast extract they are talking about.

I would think that used imaginatively this could do enormous things for sales of Vegemite back in Australia.

How long before patriotic Aussies (is there any other sort?) will be singing the Vegemite Song rather than Waltzing Matilda or Advance Australia Fair:

We're happy little Vegemites
As bright as bright can be.
We all enjoy our Vegemite
For breakfast, lunch, and tea.
Our mother says we're growing
stronger every single week.
Because we love our Vegemite.
We all adore our Vegemite.
It puts a rose in every cheek!


I hope they extend the ban to Marmite...
