The VEGEMITE Thread

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi gals & guys

Once again you overseas people are having a shot at us Australians, in this case the perpetuating barbs at one of our National icons, namely Vegemite. Let me educate you lot about the benefits of Vegemite.

1. It is one of the world's richest known sources of vitamin B which is what you mob need as you don't get natural vitamin B from our beautiful sunshine.
2. It is a basic ingredient in our CMP survival packs as:
* Food
* Sunscreen
* Insect repellant
* Radiator leak inhibitor
* Axle grease
* Tyre black
* Oil additive for worn gearboxes, differentials and transfer cases
* General lubricant
* Parts preservative
* Provide jars for small parts
* Boot polish
* Road lubricant for wheel spinning *ompetitions
* Rubbing on burns, sterilising wounds, tinea protection
* Emergency ammunition, i.e. throwing the jar at the enemy
3. Camouflage paint for re-enactors
4. Alternative to hash in your hubble-bubble pipe
5. Wood and fabric stain
6. Alternative filling for cream cakes
7. Vegemite soup
8. Food flavouring and colouring

These are just a few uses and I'm sure my fellow countrymen will add to this list. Come on Keefy, back me up.

Healthy Bob
