That sounds like an allergy, Monst.

A Trader Joe's is a good place to score Ghirardelli in mass quantities, milk, dark, and white. Very silky. Like everything else TJs, it tastes like they like to eat it.

ghiradelli is nasty. Sorry, i know you yanks swear by it, but ick.

...of course it's an allergy -I'm "allergic" to everything, point being alternative was so nasty i gave it up altogether so allergy had time to regroup and become noticeable.

So, they picked a name for the new vegemite. "Isnack 2.0" but there's been such a public outcry about it that they've decided to try again.

I think Isnack 2.0 was a stupid name. Apparently so did 92% of all facebook users who voted.

Especially when there are so many other possibilities based on the original name:

Vegemaybe
Vegeflea
Vegepower

I've never tried vegemite... but it sure sounds like something my little brother and I would have eaten initially as a gag... though later as a result of secret liking for along with pickle juice on ice, shots of malt vinigar, and soy sauce on corn chips...

Soy sauce on popcorn works except for the soggy factor. If you truly must, use a strong-flavored soy you really really like above all others, and use it very lightly, the most minuscule of sprinkles hitting only a few kernels, which will immediately go limp. Then salad-toss the popcorn with your hands to distribute the soggy but flavorful kernels throughout. Additional toppings may also be teamed with this stuff. Salty to the max, by the time you get done, usually.

I've tried the new vegemite.

It is lame. Like new coke.

That is all.

Oops. Every now and then a business has to blunder before they discover they really had it right the first time. Usually the idea was to see if they open up a new market somehow, someplace. But to enjoy Vegemite, you just have to know how to handle it -- work with its properties. Like when your bush shirt has big dark sweat stains all down its sides and more stains front and back -- in other words, you're salt-depleted -- then, like Gatorade, it's nectar and ambrosia until your electrolytes are restored.

It's not like eating Vegemite is going to put weight on you or open the way to diabetes. The sodium content might mess you up if you've got a bad ticker that way.
