As an American, I don't dispute the sugar problem here- I myself don't have much of a sweet tooth but it's pretty bad, they put "hidden" sugars in things like chain pizza doughs and pizza sauces so kids secretly like it better and say "Mom we want CHUCK E CHEESE pizza!!!" - because it's actually been sweetened - but we might have an even bigger salt problem... One can of grocery-store-purchased Soup, one packet of Ramen noodles, one 'meal' at any fast-food place, that all has more sodium than you're supposed to have in a day or even two ... and the hard part is trying to fit a "snack" in ... even those little "Single-Serving" packets of chips (you call them crisps) have more sodium than you're supposed to eat for an entire meal ... You can be a totally-normal person, "hey want a snack while we watch the game? I'll slice up some Cheese & Crackers..." ... Yeah great that's more salt than we're supposed to eat all day ... Honestly as bad as the drug problems are across the world, Salt is even worse ... Someone is laughing their asses off to the bank on the money they're making supplying us Americans with our Daily Sodium.

@@LivingTheorem So I am in the wine and spirits business and I one time got sent a packet about US Gov't Food regulations (on accident I am sure) - and it explained how things like fruit cocktail or mixed fruit (cans or single-serve plastic packs for kids, whatever) - they can be labeled "No Sugar Added!" - when in fact a SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT of sugar was directly added, because it would not be more sugar than if they packed it in a very-highly-sugared-'Naturally-Occurring' fruit juice or syrup - it was eye-opening ... almost total and complete lying on the package ... "No Sugar Added!" - when they actually in fact added a fucking shitload of extra sugar, but marketing allows taking advantage of obscure rules & regulations in the area of technicalities ... Total BS ... just like you can drink a fruit juice "cocktail" that doesn't actually have any of the actual fruit you thought you were buying, and that's totally legal.
The Turn Around: Born and raised in Australia over fifty years ago. Hated Vegemite from day one. Tried it several times throughout my life and always hated it, Three months ago, though, I tried it again and guess what? I loved it. WTF. I've eaten two jars since and am on my third. Ain't life just full of surprises. Great video, well made, very informative and excellent intonation.

Glad to see in the rest of the comments that I’m not the only American who enjoys Vegemite! I grew up with kind of snobby foodie parents who took me to a lot of restaurants of different cultures growing up, so I have an interesting palate and eat a lot of foods my friends think are super weird!
I love marmite. I grew up with it. I used to swim squad and we had morning sessions. After swimming you'd already be hungry before first session. So I'd go to the tuck shop and buy a couple half sliced hot dog buns which were toasted in one of those press toasters and smeered with butter and marmite. It used to be the best.

Well done Australia on rescuing your national food back from the evil Kraft and in a hot climate like Oz salty Vegemite is essential. I like Marmite too.
That’s interesting. A man once gave me a Vegemite sandwich. I believe he said he was from a land down under. 🤔
Although Vegemite tastes like shit to me in the beginning, I fell in love with it in the forth year of living in New Zealand. And yes I've tried marmite but I still prefer vegemite
Idk why but I was told growing up that vegemite was made from mashed up termites with vegetable add ins.
He was 6 foot tall and full of muscles
I, accompanied by a gentleman named Barry H., rebuilt the Vegemite filling machine at Kraft Foods in Otahuhu, NZ. It was a disgusting job, but an ingenious device. After cleaning, dismantling and working out the pneumatic circuits, we got it up and running again, and working better than ever before. This was in 1983, from memory. It was a truly awful machine, with baked-on caramel icky stuff, but we got it up and running. I agree, Marmite is disgustingly sweet. It was a fiendish machine, and surprising that it had worked so well for all those years, with zero maintenance. Good one, Enots and Martonair.
Love it deserves more credit
Could not actually live without VEGEMITE!!! 😍😍😍😍
You convinced me! Great informative video! I will certainly order a jar of Vegemite as soon as possible (I actually intended this for quite some time), I swear! Men at Work brought me here, indirectly, of course! Australia is a very, very beautiful country with fantastic people! Much respect and all the best from Romania!

Marmite is still popular in NZ because it’s made in Christchurch. It got to the point there was a shortage post earthquakes forced the plant to close for repairs and a black (geddit) market for the spread popped up overnight. Right now, I’m eating Vegemite flavoured pretzel crisps that were made in Romania. Surely it would be cheaper to make them in Australia than send Vegemite over there and back.

Fun fact: the Vegemite factory in Port Melbourne is on a street called "Vegemite Way"
😊Mate, Thanks for the video! Te amo! Bejo!
In North America we call it maritime. And we use it in soups and stocking for seasoning
My car calls for 5 quarts of 5/30w. This substitutes just fine! Got 320,000 miles on the old pickup!

Toss potatoes with Marmite or Vegemite before roasting. The video is not wrong about the umami.
Regarding that 10% that don't have Vegemite in their homes.. We want names, addresses, places of work , and routes to and from
I don't know why, but somehow I always thought Vegemite was one of those things you were supposed to chew on, but not actually swallow, like chewing tobacco or cigar butts.
Came here for some clarification on my favorite Men At Work song. Didn’t leave disappointed. 🇦🇺 ❤️ 😎 Seriously - great video. Watched it with my 6yr old who’s learning about Aussie culture. 🍻 Appreciate the content, history and illustrations.
I love cheese and ham sandwiches, but ham can be expensive and I don't want to eat too much of it. Maybe Vegemite can substitute the ham, since ham is salty, smokey, and umami rich? I never tried Vegemite though.

American here who loves Marmite and Vegemite (but Marmite ultimately takes my first spot). First heard of Vegemite through a children's computer game called Jump Start. Didn't taste it until adolescence when I saw my first jar in an international foods store. So I went for it. I wasn't put on at first, until I learned the simplest and correct way to eat it years later - on buttered toast. Cheese if available, but if that's too heavy, can't go wrong with butter and bread. The breakfast and midnight snack that hasn't failed me yet. Now please tell me a cheesy scroll, Vegemite optional, is the savory answer to Cinnabon. That is a dream come true.
Grew up in Perth, had this before I went to school each morning, never miss a single day.......
Very informative video, but you forgot about the Kiss Test. :-p There are other spinoffs worth mentioning, Promite, Aussiemite, and Mightymite (NZ). In Europe, there is also Cenovis(Sweden) and Vitam-R (Germany) that I know of. Marmite also has a factory in South Africa and I'm curious if that marmite tastes the same as the UK produced spread. Still, my all round favourite is Vegemite, the spread that I grew up on. Don't for get you can use Vegemite to flavour soups and stews, and also mix with hot water as a convalescent drink. What I learned: Leibig process, Callister, onion and celery extracts.Fascinating.
