Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

I did not like Vegemite...
Sometimes it seems as though one has to cross the line just to figger out where it is

It was more than 30 years ago, and I can still taste it....

So, regular Marmite is weak BBQ grill scrapings, then Extra old Marmite must be full strength BBQ grill scrapings?

That's well over anything else since, almost doubling the count of 'Random Thoughts' which has been around forever.
Who'd have thought folks hated Mar/Vegemite so much? Must be the culinary equivalent of cricket

Sheesh, ~60 minutes later and 9461 views, you really got a fan base, Jim 
Re: Well That Certainly Seems Appropriate...
On the other hand LoCa, my joy is somewhat tempered by the fact that this thread has one of the worst view-to-post ratios.... 9461 views, but only 69 posts? Sheesh, that's what? About 120 views for every post?.... 
Looks like most of my fans are lurkers....

Jim, you've tasted it and didn't like it. Fair play!
To the rest, my 5 yr old does this:
Him: I don't like (food x).
Me: But how do you know you don't like it? You've never tried it.
Him: I just know.
I repeat, he is 5 years old.
That is what 5 year olds do.

Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

Re: Well That Certainly Seems Appropriate...
I've tasted Marmite, and I like it; but a little goes a long way.
(But you really have to like salty foods, which I do...and if you don't, you won't like it. OTOH, even though I like salty foods, I think Vegemite is way too much, really disgusting, and I threw out the jar that was given to me.)
Oh, and BTW...like Gob, I also discovered the yummy combination of Marmite + peanut butter. I also like a tiny bit of Marmite with some brie on a warm, crusty baguette.

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

If it doesn't pass the sniff-test, you shouldn't try to eat it; that's how you know the milk's gone sour.
