Maybe Dick Smith will buy it back at a bargain price.

The latest issue of Australian Geographic has a poster with 100 'Aussie icons'

On it in the background is a tiny little 4wd kicking up dust between cattle skeletons, and when you consult the index it states

"Toyota LandCruiser. (sic)
If you want your transport to say "outback", there are very few vehicles that fit the bill. Seated in a Toyota Land-cruiser (sic) or one-tonner ute you'll be making the statement"

I can't remember it ever not being a Kraft product - but as I'm a retiree my memory may be failing.

See Vegemite - Packaging Evolution 2

Vegemite dates back to 1922 when the Fred Walker Company, which became Kraft Walker Foods in 1926 and Kraft Foods Limited in 1950, hired a young chemist to develop a spread from one of the richest known natural sources of the vitamin B group - Brewers Yeast.

Following months of laboratory tests, Dr. Cyril P Callister, who became the nation’s leading food technologist of the 1920s and 30s developed a tasty spreadable paste. It came in a two ounce (57g) amber glass jar capped with a Phoenix seal with the label "Pure Vegetable Extract".

Ned bloody Kelly!!

I for the life of me cant figure out why in this country we turn murderous criminal scumbags into heros.
