I, as a fan of my beloved vegimite in 7:30 in the morning i am greatly enraged at the utmost WORST naming of a brand in history of man kind.
yes, ive tried the new vegimite 'name me' spread, and it was tasty and delicious and i was hoping the company would give it a good name but no instead they decided to give it to an american company to decide and the end result is the AMAZING...
iSnack 2.0

this is a sad moment for Australia.

Dammit... this just makes me want to change my username to IWREX5000.... which oddly enough is actually a much better name than this... terrible... godawful idea of a name.
I have to go eat my IBANANA5000 now... this is... no it has to be, a change in the way that these ad companies are thinking. Like hey now, why not put a laser on EVERYTHING? You know I like lasers, do you like lasers? Sure... I like lasers, but honestly though... this does not need a laser. I think that a prime example of something in need of a laser would be, a castle. I mean you could have your castle (nice and stone cold comfy with the stones and stuff) AND your laser, their is no loss there. No loss at all, and if you really want to argue that point... well... I will have to go into my castle, and shoot you with my laser.
This does give me hope in terms of what kinds of competition are out there... I mean really though, this must be hire the moron year or something... like a fad of epic proportions. I will admit that amongst this terrible wave of crappy advertising (and cable now with more commercials than actual shows, YAY!!!) their have been some legitimate gems; and when I see a good ad, it does make me listen. Wrex has hope... stay with me hope... stay with me.

I don't know what the feth a vegemite is, but that's a god-awful name for one.
Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.
Vegemite is the spread that is meant to eat your mind... with anticipation. I have to admit that I am not a big fan, and the thought is quite rank... being made of veggies and all... but also looking slightly like diarrhea. Wait... I think that I may have just ruined someones vegetite... like a vegetable appetite, but... with a slightly poopy tone.
Enjoy your Vegemite .
Here is a good ad... but honestly though, this stuff is better left to things that are not advertising something. At what point am I supposed to care at all about what they are advertising? The lengths these companies go to, and the embarrassing inefficiency of some of these ads is... well it's freaking stupid. Brand here, buy product, ad done; it is really that simple. Unfortunately enough for companies like Geico (Geico sucks sooooo much) no amount of good advertising is going to change the fact that they suck so badly. But don't tell them that, or else a lot of people will be out of work.
Anyway though... here is a laugh for you.

It's a sandwich spread that smells like rotting vegetables and tastes like salted rotting vegetables.
My vote was for Hitlermite.

actually the idea of "iSnack 2.0" was australian, not american. So yes, a very sad moment for australia.
You know if it wasn't for me knowing vegemite through it's popularity in australia. I'd think it was just one of those cheap prduct knock offs you get in the likes of lidl.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
I eat it every day, and it makes me big and strong.

They were chasing him up on radio this morning. I got kind of a New Coke vibe out of the whole thing.

IIRC Sharwoods (who make curry sauces) had to withdraw a whole new product line because of a naming problem. They released a curry sauce which you poured over meat and veg and baked it in the oven, much like a pasta bake.
They decided to call it Bhund, they failed to check what Bhund meant first.
Turns out that Bhund is slang for Virgina in Hindi
