Most of the places that I used to see selling Vegemite are still selling it; they usually only haver the small jars in stock though. Nobody seems to be stopping them from selling it yet; as long as that doesn't happen, it will be available until stocks run out.

We have a same product in the UK but it's named Marmite. It's made from recycled toxic waste including elements of depleted uranium, ground glass and coal tar in various ratios.

This stuff is brilliant for undersealing your car in the winter months as it keeps all road salt etc from pentrating the bodywork, you can even paint it on the bottom of your fishing trawler as a barnacle has enough IQ to avoid this getting close to this product and it lasts for years...

Ummmmm I've heard you can even eat it...... but I really wouldn't recommend it.

Can you tell I don't like the stuff, even on toast?

Ahhhhhh but is as good for undersealing cars?

I did hear a rumour NASA was looking into using Marmite as a replacement for the ceramic heat shield tiles under the space shuttle. Can vegemite compete with that?

See folks? I told you! Its infamy is known internationally! Even Aussies avoid the stuff...

I wonder how much Adrian shipped over in the boot of the Falcon, I bet Aussie customs missed that little item!

What a bunch'o'skirts!..I eat Vegemite for breakfast!!!!

for the record...

1)Marmite and Vegemite are 2 different things.

2)Folate is good for you.

3)Since when did the US Govt. start looking after its citizens well being?
