[ACP] As Aussie as Vegemite
Chris Carnage
I asked my colleagues in the ACP for inspiration, and what did I get? Vegemite on toast! At first I was like, wtf I am supposed to do with that? And then I realised the genius behind that apparently arbitrary and whimsical request.
There's something about vegemite that captures the imagination. A thick, black paste produced as a by-product of the brewing process. Salty and bitter, it smells and tastes a little like a hangover on a hot, Sunday morning at the peak of an Australian summer.
Pasty, black, bitter and salty, a marketer's dream
There are some obvious superficial connections between vegemite and the ACP. Australian for a start. Bearing a proud, red and gold logo continues the obvious connection.
But when you think about it more deeply, as I am wont to do, one cannot help but find deeper commonalities. Vegemite is not a faint-hearted, populist comestible, it is loved or hated. When was the last time someone told you "oh, Vegemite? Yeah, it's kind of OK". Polarising and extreme, even radical, Vegemite is loved or hated, never liked, but always respected.
Vegemite on toast - black and white, a powerful symbol of fraternity. A cheaply produced by-product of an industrial brewing process, yet healthy and vigorous, Vegemite is a friend to the poor, the downtrodden, a nutritional liberator for those oppressed by poverty.
Let them eat cake! For us there can be no other food. From this day forward, all ACP members have committed to enjoying their vegemite for breakfast, lunch and tea!

WTF is vegitmite and is it anything like marmite? 😛
pfft marmite is the inbred cousin of Vegemite. x2
Just had some vegemite for brekkie, only it's the cheesy mite version. so smooth and delicious with hint of the bitterness all true aussies love.
disgusting stuff ! Nothing against exotic tastes which are "different", but there is no way to find sympathy for that stuff, and you can't blame me for not trying hard. I tried several times...but couldn't supress the puking reflex on this sh*t. xD
you could use this stuff as secret weapon against us chileans... you'd probably succeed and hunt us down of down under. xD
hahahaha!

But Chile cannot talk - whats that notional drink of yours called? pisspot or something like that

I've always had Vegemite in my pantry. The only time I forgo was as a protest when they tried to change the name a few years back to iSpread 2.0 or whatever it was.
lol @ Louise
oh that 2.0 stuff was crap.... then they did the vegimite/cheese crap....
Original all the way.
Cheesymite is so social democrat 😛
Baker's Delight cheesymite scrolls are fabulous!
Vegemite is what we Aussies spread over our bullet wounds before we get up and continue fighting 😛
With so much badness in the eWorld it's great u guys can get to the heart of the real issues.
Fucking eAussies😛
