Kraft are trying to launch a new 'cheese and vegemite' variant to that great Aussie classic in inedible-products-that-are-incredibly-healthy-for-you (if you've ever eaten the stuff you'll know what I mean)
Their competition site --> http://www.vegemite.com.au/vegemite/page?siteid=vegemite-prd&locale=auen1&PagecRef=758
They held a nation-wide competition with a $50,000-and-eternal-imortality-as-the-guy-who-named-it prize and they chose "iSnack 2.0"...
This was immediately howled down by the torch and pitchfork carrying population of Australia and Kraft quickly did a retraction and continued the competition (but the iSnack suggester -he was from Perth!!! - got to keep his $50,000 at least...)
So now they've come up with "Cheesymite"... boring as hell, but better, a bit, than the first choice....
But... I heard today on the TV that a 13 year old girl had suggested that they call it " Voldemite " - because it's the vegemite that cannot be named...
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!
Sheer brilliance! That would have been my choice (assuming JKK.R didn't sue their ass off for copyright infringement...)
I colour stuff...
