Title: Re: Vegemite + Cream Cheese = iSnack2.0 Post by: twoiron on September 30, 2009, 03:40:28 PM It's a FAIL on so many levels...
I am going to try and get a jar, only because the name won't be around for too much longer, if only to secure a memento of what is perhaps the stupidest corporate decision ever made about an Australian Icon ;) Title: Re: Vegemite + Cream Cheese = iSnack2.0 Post by: Uisce Beatha on September 30, 2009, 03:40:50 PM Title: Re: Vegemite + Cream Cheese = iSnack2.0 Post by: stroh on September 30, 2009, 05:27:46 PM What a waste of good Asiago.

We'd probably have to call out the National Guard! Title: Re: Vegemite + Cream Cheese = iSnack2.0 Post by: twoiron on September 30, 2009, 09:30:28 PM It's a FAIL on so many levels...

We'd probably have to call out the National Guard! Pretty much, except it is a "new version" of Vegemite, with Cheese. Ultimatley if they'd just called it "Vegemite with Cheese", no-one would have cared.

Now all I need to do is wait for the release of the "new" name to complete the collection. "Name Me" "iSnack 2.0" "??" Title: Re: Vegemite + Cream Cheese = iSnack2.0 Post by: gleek on October 05, 2009, 07:27:02 PM Link (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360195007859)
