A Conversation for The Great Marmite Poll

Happy little Vegemites

Marmite is but a pale imitation, with a nasty metallic aftertaste, of Vegemite, the Real Stuff.
Marmite may look and smell like Vegemite, but you will never fob an Australian off with it. May as well give Popeye a bunch of boiled bogweeds and try to tell him it's spinach.
Have you ever wondered why Australia wipes the floor with England at cricket? Why Ian (Torpedo) Thorpe is the greatest swimmer in the world? Why the Wallabies ate the Lions for breakfast?
Our secret weapon is Vegemite!

As the TV jingle rightly warbles:

"We're happy little Vegemites, as bright as bright can be,
We all enjoy our Vegemite for breakfast,lunch and tea ....
....it puts a rose in every cheek!"
