  1. NERD says:

    Wait, What…?What’s a vegemite sandwich

  2. Chris says:

    hahaha
    Left Tassie off the map again….poor inbreds don’t have Vegemite…

  3. Jasper says:

    We Britons have Marmite, which is a similar deal. You either love it or you hate it.

  4. silliewillie says:

    I don’t think you’ll find that vegemite sammich in Brussels, but who needs solid food if you’ve got 100 beers to try? :D

  5. Stellis says:

    One minor quibble…the man in Brussels simply smiled and gave away the sandwich in response to a language inquiry. No purchase was required.

  6. whitey138 says:

    ive read its really good for getting rid of hangovers but kind of unhealthy. is this true?

  7. SaDiablo says:

    Man, any day with a Men at Work reference is golden. Thanks!

  8. wimple says:

    Isn’t it illegal to export that stuff?

  9. Justin says:

    No, it’s not illegal. That’s just a rumor. I’m an American who hasn’t tried Vegemite, but has tried and likes Marmite, but I think we should all sing.

    I’m a happy little Vegemite,
    As bright, as bright can be!
    I always eat my Vegemite
    For breakfast, lunch, and tea!
    My mummie says I’m growing stronger
    Every single week
    Because I love my Vegemite!
    I enjoy my Vegemite!
    It puts a rose in every cheek!

  10. Kittah says:

    As an Aussie, I must defend Vegemite’s honour – if only because anyone who doesn’t like the taste is deported. Lol.

    A warning to anyone (I’m looking at you Americans) who wants to try Vegemite (and please do) – use butter first, and the tiniest smidgen of vegemite! Seriously, it takes us many years of hard training to get used to having it as thick as most people have butter, and even then that’s considered pretty hardcore (I myself have it a mm or two thick on crumpets, but I’m crazy).

    Eat that malty salty goo!

    • Joseph says:

      This Alaskan has had opportunities–courtesy of IRC friends in Australia and New Zealand–to try both Vegemite and Marmite. Good stuff!

    • Miss_Filly says:

      indeed! vegimite is the ultimate! seriously i have it at least once a day everyday (Y) shame you american’s now own the company, no offense but you guys pretty much hate the stuff, and i eat it buy the spoonful – literally! nothing better then a scoop of vegimite, good and salty mmmmm :)

  11. David says:

    uh, the music is Dire Straits NOT Men At Work

  12. David says:

    uh, delete the last post it was stupid, my bad

    • Pleen says:

      Sorry ’bout that, I was keying in my post as you submitted yours and I didn’t see that you had corrected yourself.

  13. Pleen says:

    Six foot four, and full of mussels.

    The Belgians are known for eating mussels, which makes the lyric a pun in keeping with the theme of regional food based stereotypes. Mussels-Belgium, Vegemite-Australia.

    Hooray for double entendre in pop music!

    Also:
    It’s Men At Work, not Dire Straits.

  14. Sparky says:

    Marmite comes from New Zealand, its a much better alternative! Not as bitter. Marmite/Vegemite and cheese toasted Sammys ROCK!

    You wusses should try it

    makes you tough, like us Kiwi folk

  15. PeppaMama says:

    Erm…believe I’ll stick to Nutella or good old PB (*queasy*) but you chaps have at it and enjoy!

  16. aisleorwindow says:

    What about the man in Bombay? (He was slack jawed, with not much to say…)

  17. faraday says:

    Oh I had completely forgotten the video! I haven’t seen it since about 1984! Bloody hell, my memory of 1982/3 fashion has been clouded over time. But the poor koala. How much can it bear being tied to him like that?

    *goes off to spread vegemite & butter on classic vita-wheats*

  18. laura says:

    Oh my gosh, I have ALWAYS wondered what that line in that song was!!!! THANKS

  19. hohand says:

    Y’all need to get a life, Losers

  20. Inna says:

    I love Australia and it’s Vegemite, but do they sell it in US? Which store? Does anybody know? Thanks.

  21. Wownik says:

    I wish we had Vegemite here. Such a disappointment. Petition your local grocer for Vegemite, I command it!!!

  22. Amara says:

    If you have a World Market (also known as Cost Plus) store near you, they carry Vegemite (stores thru out most of US except the Northeast).

  23. Bob says:

    Rofl at the pic

  24. Ali says:

    I have tried it before. I’m not big on salt so i didn’t like it. It is just something you do or don’t like. Ill bet if it wasnt salty it would have been okay.

  25. Jaxynde says:

    yeah, maybe so, but in new zealand (not highlighted) you can make a marmite sandwich (5000 times better than vegemite sandwich)

  26. THEGAMEtrolol says:

    What happened to Tasmania?

  27. getowned says:

    its a man named Russel not a man from Brussels
