When the new product was launched there was an amazing reaction - lots of 'who do they think they are' & 'what idiot thought this up' hit the air waves & blogspace & there were loud cheers when the name was withdrawn.
I'm an occasional vegemite eater (I still have more that half a a breakfast serving I got when I was on holidays earlier this year), & the small jar in my cupboard is still half full even tho I bought it Aug 04 & it still has that rich salty vegemite smell.
I won't be trying the new product - I much prefer to add a slice of good cheese & other good stuff to my bread, butter & vegemite. Real vegemite is almost fat free (& deliciously salty!), the new product has about 8 times more fat.
