Vegemite

[Nemises]

Yes, Kraft was acquired by a USA company 10 years ago, but as an Australian, seeing Vegemite sitting on the supermarket shelf labelled as a “Product of the USA” just doesn’t sit right. 
 

Especially as most Americans who have ever tasted it, hate it!

The Vegemite brand is owned by Bega Cheese Limited, an Australian food company. Bega acquired the brand in 2017 for $460 million.

Following the death of Fred Walker in 1935, the Vegemite brand came under the ownership of the American company Kraft Foods. However, in 2017 the brand returned to Australian ownership when the Bega Group purchased it alongside other assets from Mondelez International (formerly Kraft Foods Inc.).

Agreed.

 

But Tom Hanks liked it 🙂

The Cheesymite is quite good too. Can't find it in Thailand though so have to bring back jars from Oz.  Kids love it as it mixed with Bega cream cheese.   Bega also brought out "Kraft" Peanut Paste - "it's never dry or oily" - unlike the some of the stuff sold in Thailand.
