We're happy little Vegemites....

Ok, it has come to my attention that some people might not know much about Vegemite... to all my overseas friends...this is what it is... a spread that you put on bread or anyway you want it really. It's black, smells very salty and to some people is just down right awful. But to me, and most Aussies, its a God send. I love it all the time...

I thought i would add the song lyrics that was from the advertisement back in the 40's i think it was...

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 did try to add the actual song but didn't how to do it...

So there you go its been a part of our culture since the 1920's and its still going strong, from generation to generation... Hannah loves it too!

NOOOOOO!! We didn't lose Hannah to the Vegemite too! I need to send that girl some peanut butter! That is what belongs on toast.

Okay okay - I guess I should concede that different people have different tastes. I tried the Vegemite, and have sung the song, but I don't need that stuff in my life much more than once every ten years or so.
