They had ppl ringing in on the breakfast show this morning to say what they liked about Vegemite;

 

One lady rang in to say she puts it on her cold sores, heals em up real quick

 

A guy rang in to say he'd put a stripe of it across the bridge of his nose on a hiking trip. When he got back and washed it off he found all his face sunburned except the bit where the vegemite had been.

Put it with pyrethrum in a plastic soft drink bottle, cut a hole near the top, put yellow tape around the bottle, hang it near your fruit tree, a cheap fruit fly trap.

Re: Vegemite Turns 90 Today!

Me too, and it has split my extended family. Me and mine are Promite people, but my mother is Vegemite all the way, so buys her own when she comes to stay. Problem is, my father (Neville) prefers Promite, and likes to complain that she won't buy it for him at home!

 

She responds with "When you do the shopping Neville, you can buy your own bloody Vegemite".

 

He says "Maybe I will, or maybe I'll just move in with Marina".  Yikes!

 

She says "Do it - you wouldn't last 5 minutes - Marina expects you to cook, tidy up, do the washing, and take care of yourself - you don't even know how to go to the supermarket to buy bloody Promite!"

 

This goes on for some time, every time they visit with the result that the back of my fridge is full of old jars of Vegemite that I never bought, and I can't sleep because I'm frightened my father is going to move in.

 

They'll all be sorry when I get my own place.....

 

Marina.

Apparently it has similar properties as Medi-Honey, (see #3) so you could use the old jars to cure everything. 

 

Buy some Promite for your dad for christmas.

toxic?

I thought it was the byproduct of beer-brewing, as in the brewer's yeast they took out in the final process of brewing so the beer wouldn't be cloudy!
