A toast to vegemite
On October 25, 2013 vegemite is celebrating it's 90th birthday. This product isn't always appreciated globally, in fact, many people from overseas wonder how Australians manage to have it as a staple food in their cupboard.
But in recognition of vegemite, I think we should have a toast...
...okay perhaps we will put it on toast. To date, we have enjoyed 90 billion jars of vegemite in Australia. It's iconic for Australians.... just as a tinnie at a BBQ, our 'such is life' bushranger or even Don Bradman , our star cricketer. It holds an integral part of our culture in it's hands.
The only thing that saddens many Australians is that our famous icon and favourite breakfast spread is now owned by Americans...and they don't seem to appreciate it like we do!
So on behalf of Australia... Happy Birthday, Vegemite!
