So, I like my vegemite like any good Aussie yeah?
So, naturally I try the Name Me Vegemite when it comes out, reluctantly though I might say, how dare they try to mess with the time tested recipe!
Ok, I try it and it's alright, bit of a change from the Vegemite and nice and spready, although to get some decent taste you have to spread WAY too much of it on the toast, aha! Light bulb moment, this is clearly a plot to sell more product! Vegemite is thinly spread (for me anyway), and a jar lasts a decent while, so the makers think "we'll fix these guys, lets weasel a new product in that will go so quick they'll have to buy a new jar every week! "
Buggers.
Anyway, I don't mind if my Vegemite has been in the fridge or not, so I don't check the jar of Name Me, and put it in the cupboard after opening. And forget it's there! Over christmas, someone bought over a new jar of the stuff, now called iSnack 2.0 or whatever ridiculous conspiratorical (<--real word?) name it was temporarily given, and we crack open that jar.
Now, another month or so down the track, I'm rummaging through the cupboard and right up the back I see the old Name Me jar, wow, oops!
As I grab the jar it feels very light, weird. I open it up and look in...........
The remaining contents of the actual spread have turned to powder, literally like hot chocolate powder material that smells like rotten bonox though, and at the top of the jar there is now like a cobweb all around the rim! It's like a spider has been in there and just webbed up all the top! WTF!
So this is either a lesson to refrigerate the products that say to, or a big what the F is in this weirdo Vegemite hackjob, food for thought.
