Huzza for Bovril!

Bovril, Bovril,
The one for you and me.
Nice 'n' beefy Bovril,
All stuck up a tree!

I could eat that stuff straight from the jar!

Vegemite, Marmite, Parwil and Bovril are all pure, unadulterate, imported straight from the 9th Circle of Hell, autographed by Hitler, hatred.

My wife loves Vegemite. I can't open the jar without feeling an urge to retch. My DOG WILL NOT GO NEAR THE STUFF and he'll eat cat droppings. This is a signifigant indicator, in my opinion.

Drink the Coopers, don't eat the Vegemite.

Vegemite and Marmite are both basically the same (though in my experience most brits and some aussies will tell you that Marmite is the better of the two--this is the same as picking between arsenic and strychnine, imho): an extract made from the yeast that is left over after the brewing of beer. In Australia, Vegemite originated with Coopers' Brewery* in (I think) South Australia.

Imagine a salty, brackish purple black slime. Further, imagine a smell not unlike the scent of corpse-rot. Now imagine it congealed, concentrated, jarred and spread on toast with butter. This stuff is purified and fortified evil.

[edit]
* My wife informs me that Coopers might be Victorian, and not South Australian. I'm not sure, personally, I'd want to be the city that claimed the origin of this foul venom.

Y'know, considering how international the membership here is, I'm genuinely surprised that "Vege-what?" is leading the poll.

Vegemite sandwiches for everyone!

OK - to represent the views of the people who really know (The Australian Public) I'd like to have my say - Vegemite owns. It is an integral part of our culture as a whole! I have been eating it since I was born, and will continue to eat it until I die. It does everything, sates hunger, cures diseases in cats (I'm not sure which one, but you're supposed to put Vegemite on their paws, they lick it off and then get better), cures headaches (No seriously, try it) and puts the rose in every cheek :D Whenever I go anywhere, it's the first food I pack. When my cousin toured Europe for some school competition, she took the biggest jar she could find and still ran out coz all her friends kept pinching it off her. I have tried and hated the alternatives like Marmite - in fact we had a jar sitting in our pantry for over a year with about 5% gone because nobody would eat it. Vegemite - it's the greatest of man's inventions. :D

Its an Australian form of auto-erotic sadomasochism. That's all I can figure. Vegemite fans get off on torturing themselves.

Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
