Josh is right;  Kiwis grow up on  Marmite and Oz eat Vegemite.  A tiny, but
vital cultural difference; around which great games of Rugby have been
fought over generations.
But you Americans, take heart; you actually own Vegemite [ part of the Kraft
empire ].  Don't know who owns Marmite these days.  Was UK once upon a time.
For  folks who don't know the stuff; it is a yeast extract which looks like
axle grease, and some say tastes like axle grease.  Good stuff.
