Gotcha. :mrgreen:

Though they are not named, the strong consensus is that the ccp has started a massive hacking campaign against Australia.

There are only 4 nations that are capable of such an attack.

-Russia
-Iran
-North Korea
*And*
-The ccp.

I think it safe to say where it is coming from when you consider the relentless attack Australia has been under, for some time, by "The Evil Empire". 8O

I don't know: It could be the USA, trying to find the secret recipe so they can make Vegimite themselves (or was that Tim-Tams...Or Twisties).

We dont have Vegemite here in the US. So I doubt that any US company "owns it" since it isnt an American thing.

You don't know what you're missing out on...

It was previously owned by Kraft, though (hence "owned" by the USA), but I think a local company recently bought it back.

So it WAS owned by a US company at one time. Ok.

I had the impression that vegamite was like fruit cake. One of those things that nobody likes, but everyone pretends to like. :lol: Ok.So folks actually like it!

That's ONE way to describe it, I suppose (although I'm not sure using Vegemite in place of mayo is something I'd try)...

I think it's a spread make from yeast extract or something but I could be wrong,I have never tried it.
