Vegemite is clearly a WMD.

[Janus Whitefurr]

The US has banned Vegemite, even to the point of searching Australians for jars of the spread when they enter the country.

About the only time I will start a thread, ever. *fades into night... laughing. Very. Very Hard.*

Woo, go US legal system!

In my experience, this man represents everything wrong with our legal system. (He had better, more insane ads, but I couldn't find any on youtube)

[Zedd]

Ohh dear...Seems like I was right....SOme americans are just afraid of food....EVEN IF ITS GOOD FOOD!

[xHaZxMaTx]

That makes me sad.    Maybe I can get some while in Canada.

[Aridas]

Another reason to leave the US... Evil food laws.

[Zina]

GOOD.
I can rest easy now, knowing that there is no more vegemite on American soil.
Things are as they should be.

[Gabi]

Another reason to leave the US... Evil food laws.

Yes. Everyone leave the US and come here.

[Aridas]

Yes, go see Gabi >.>

[Supercheese]

I guess I could survive in Argentina...

Never heard of this Vegemite stuff though. Is it like Marmite?

[Tapewolf]

See?  I told you about the War-Against-Food, but no-one believed me!

Anyway, you can make your own - it's only marmite that's been watered-down with margarine.  

[DigitalMan]

... That is the most retarded thing I've ever heard. I could have sworn we had better things to do than investigate folate in toast spreads.

And unfortunately, it's too minor to start up any sort of reform.

Sounds delicious. </sarcasm>


Edit: That emote kinda scares me. And it's called "blarf".

Someone should turn the USA into a comedy. It couldn't take too much work...

All you need is a camera, really.

They dare make a ripoff of Marmite that's weaker?

Bunch of sissies!

[Azlan]

Just as long as they do not ban the sweet pink goodness that is musk.

Mission: Accomplished.

Well, not seriously. While I may not particularly like Vegemite, I see no reason to ban it. I mean, seriously. My theory is that a politician tried the same damn thing I did: Glorping some onto something despite warnings, and then was so grossed out that he DEMANDED that in the name of God, Jesus, and Saint George Washington of the American Way, we invade Australia and wipe them out. When he was informed that he was batshit insane, he had his team of crack lawyers look for a way to ban it.

[Tapewolf]

What was that saying?

"If there's no marmite, use vegemite.
If there's no vegemite, use honey."

[Jack McSlay]

What was that saying?

"If there's no marmite, use vegemite.
If there's no vegemite, use honey."

I'm not knowledgeable in english sayings, but thus one reminds of a song which translates into

"Those who doesn't have eyedrops use sunglasses
Those who don't have steak eat  bread with hard bone" 

regardless, I've never heard of vegemite myself, what's it made of anyway?

[Tapewolf]

I'm not knowledgeable in english sayings

It's a family saying.  And not a very sensible one at that 

regardless, I've never heard of vegemite myself, what's it made of anyway

Yeast extract.  It's basically the same thing as marmite, if you have access to that.
I prefer vegemite myself because of the texture, it makes it easier to handle than marmite which tends to run and leave long black strands of goo, whereas vegemite behaves itself and just stays on the knife.  The taste is near-enough identical.

We did!  It is called HOLLYWOOD!   

[Kasarn]

Vegemite is a food and thus has always been in the "we'll confiscate it if we feel like it" section of the prohibited goods list.
When I checked a year and a half ago, Australian Customs had it as an example of an item that may lead to a search.

Of course, actively enforcing the ban is quite a step up from that.

[RJ]

:o I knew it! I knew it was secretly evil!

And now, a song:

'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 day,
Because we love our Vegemite,
We all adore our Vegemite,
It put a smile in every cheek!'

I mean, any product that can make a jingle that I can still remember after so many years MUST be evil.

And why do people think all Australians love Vegemite? I hate it with a vengence.

[Arcalane]

Biggest mistake ever with that stuff. Have to spread it thin or it burns the roof off yer mouth. I love Marmite but I tend to spread it far too thick. Well, I used to, but I kinda got the hang of spreading it thinner since...

[DigitalMan]

Such horror stories about this stuff... Does that mean there's no such thing as a "Vegemite sandwich?"

Every single week
It puts a rose in every cheek.

...why yes, I -do- like it.

[Shadrok]

And why do people think all Australians love Vegemite? I hate it with a vengence.

It could be due to the song "Down Under" by: Men At Work

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich

It's the extract from making beer. Yes, that's right, only Australians would think of eating the stuff that's left over when you make alchohol.

I personally adore Vegemite, can't get enough of it. But you have to eat it spread really thinly on bread or your head explodes from the flavor. I'm hoping to move to America next year... now how am I going to get my vegemite fix?

[ShadesFox]

Last time I saw Vegemite was from a guy who also provided furry porn.  Are these two related?  MUST BE SO!
