Promite vs Vegimite

Loved promite as a kid. Had some nostalgia a few years ago so got a jar and it never lived up to the heights that i had it stored in my memory :(
 
You all have to understand that promite (from memory here) is an american version of vegemite and marmite is a british version. Essentially, it's all the same stuff - just the taste varies. Promite is no where near as strong tasting as vegemite and marmite is just ... bleurgh.

Nope....Promite is/was Australian as well....now U.S. owned by Mars.

From Wiki -
Promite ( /ˈproʊmaɪt/) is the registered brand name for a dark brown, salty food paste mainly used as a spread on sandwiches and toast similar to the better known Vegemite and Marmite. Promite was invented in the 1950s by Dr. David Lewis of the family food company Henry Lewis & Company and marketed under the Masterfoods brand. Henry Lewis & Company later became MasterFoods Australia and New Zealand, before being bought out by the privately owned Mars family's group of companies in 1967. As Mars Incorporated is a privately owned U.S. company, Promite is no longer an Australian-owned food. However, Promite is still manufactured and sold in Australia.

As Marcus said, nope. I always talked about eating it to an American friend of mine and he had never heard of until I told him about it; after all my talk about it he managed to pick some up from an Aussie store they have there. As well as some Milo :lol:

promite vegemite marmite it all tastes of s!@#

Bah......... get out! :mad:
 
Well, as I said it was from memory... it's been years since I've had promite or marmite. I don't mind vegemite by itself, but do like Vegemite with cheese.
 
vegeite is the digiddy bomb, followed closely by marmite. never tried promite but i think it was the homebrand of the mites... am i right?
