Vegiemit. Marmite is most popular England. Vegemite down under and in Scotland. Aparently your childhood has been stunted in Engalnd if you did not grow up on Marmite sandwiches, according to all those lovely old people who grew up while rationing was still in effect(into the 50's) it is good for you and makes you grow up stong. I was 27 years old sitting in a pub before I understood the song by Men at Work with the lyrics "I just smiled and gave him a piece of my Vegiemite sandwich." For anyone wondering both taste like shit. But now at Valentines day you can get Marmite made with Champange. Harrods sells special varieties made with truffles and other stuff. Wow that was quite a dither on the useless knowlege of Marmite and Vegiemite. Next week can you do a quiz on one or the other.
are you trying to tell us that you are going down under?
and i had no idea that is what vegemite looked like. Yum.

It's like this:
1 - Ayres Rock, or Uluru
2 - The Great Barrier Reef
3 - Sydney
4 - Wombat
5 - Vegemite
And, the Thursday Quiz obviously went to: Australia!
Crikey, you lot really know your Australia! From what I thought was going to be a medium-tough quiz, we've got a record-breaking thirteen exclamation points going out this week.
Mrs.5000 & drschnell remain neck-in-neck on the top of the all-time list, each bringing home their 15th Exclamation Point!
Chance moves into undisputed third place on the leaderboard, with his 13th E.P.
Karma bags his 8th, while Rebel, d, Calico, and Critical Bill all claim their 6th.
Karin takes her 4th E.P.; gs49 his 3rd, and Fool for Paper and Yankee in England both grab their 2nd.
And finally -- a big welcome to a longtime reader on her first trip to the winners' circle: gl.!
@Fingers: Fingers is back! It feels like the L&T again!
@MJ: Technically, you were right with every answer! But... : )
@jennyj: Thank you (belatedly)! Come to my party!
@gs49: Nice try, but you only get credit for one entry.
@Morgan: Oh, you WISH it was Nuttela!
@Mrs.5000: God, no. What was she doing in the Outback?
@Reb: My understanding is that Vegemite is a brand of Marmite. Or perhaps vice versa. But that they are the same deal, anyway.
@gl.: I think maybe "ftw" means something different to you than it does to me...
@Dr. Ken: That's no way to treat a wombat.
@Phin: Check. 4/5!
@Kadonk: Lamentably, no. The Quizzes always get better vacations than I do.
@Chance: I think people like the Scuba diving....
erm, what does it mean to you? what horrible faux pas have i committed? the hepkids use it to indicate "for the win."

@gl.: I imagine he saw it and thought, "fuck the what?"
@gl.: In my upbringing, it indicated a hearty, nihilistic "Fuck The World!" But I grew up in a very small town. Maybe it was a local thing.
Vegiemite and Marmite are not the same thing. They are a totally diffent.
Alas, yes. Plus I forgot to specify "Australia" as the overall answer.
I hereby surrender my "!".
(Also apologies for the inadvertant double post.)
gS49, head hung low.
Whooo hooo! Who cares if I can teach - I've got a new exclamation point in the L&TM5K trophy case =)
@gs49, Yank: After consideration of the issue, the original ruling has been confirmed. Yeast extract is yeast extract; after researching the question, I see that the Australian, British and, Kiwi versions have their differences, but they not enough to fuss about on an American-based online variety magazine. Also, it was not specified that you had to state where the Quiz was on vacation. gs49, you're keeping your exclamation point.
@rebel: That's the spirit! FTW!
I hope you know you will probably be tagged by British customs the next time you try to enter England. They take the Marmite Vegemite issue very seriously.
