Vegemite.

Do you remember this song....
Oh God I do I use to sing it to Kerry and now sing it to the LM .I think everyone knows this song........I guess you could call this a very successful advertising campaign....
We are just like millions of other Australians that would have a jar of Vegemite in their pantry.

                                      But did you know this about Vegemite...

It was first made in 1922 after  a group of chemists were asked to develop a spread from one of the richest know natural sources of vitamin B-Brewers Yeast...

When they had developed the product they held a nationwide competition to name it and a anonymous person came up with the name Vegemite..

In 1954 the above song was written and it has become a household ditty...

22 million jars of Vegemite are sold every year.

If you have an tooth ache or mouth ulcer you can apply vegemite to the area and it will help cure it as it is a pure source of Vitamin B.... yes this does work we have done this numerous times...


                             Kerry has been eating Vegemite since she was a baby......


             Please don't kill me Kerry for using these pictures you were such a cute little Vegemite.....

 
Bad photo quality -sorry.We even had Vegemite t'shirts.....
See Kerry you were so cute even in this outfit and look at the little joggers you were wearing...Sorry they weren't Nike.....

                                  What you don't have a  jar of Vegemite in your house!!!!!!!!

                                           OMG do you know what you are missing out on?


Little Man loves Vegemite but why is it whenever kids eat Vegemite it ends up all over their face? I mean apart from making a cute photo why does it happen?


This was the LM's first taste of Vegemite and look he has it on his face as well. He use to just suck the toast with Vegemite on it.

He still loves toast and Vegemite just now he eats it doesn't suck it ha ha   ...and it can be found regularly in his lunch box on his sandwiches...


                                                                      Worm biscuits....
                                                          
                                                                     What the #&^%???

                                                  Have you never had worm biscuits before?????

 
Worm biscuits were a favourite of Kerry's when she was little now the LM eats them as well...It is just rye vita biscuits spread with butter and Vegemite then you put two together and squash them ...all the butter and Vegemite comes squishing out the holes in the biscuit hence the name "worm"biscuits....Understand now...
 
Oh God please don't tell me you have never had these before .It's nearly unAustralian.....

I can  remember eating Vegemite sandwiches when I was a child. Yeah that long ago...ha ha

Can you remember eating them?

And for my last comment on the subject of  Vegemite I thought I would leave you with this fact...
 
 In 2009 the One Billionth Jar of Vegemite was made.

That means there is lots of happy little Vegemite's dancing around households in Australia....
