So I was eating a box of chocolates right, and i was playing that game where you find the cheat card and throw it away, and you have to guess which chocolate is the mint one.

Every single time I play this game, I always seem to pick the yucky coffee one first! Does anyone else have this problem? I think it is a remarkable example of Murphy's Law, or whatever law relates to that sort of thing. Like when you drop your toast and it always lands on the vegimite side.

okay i'm done now..

[Paddy]

you are a mad one indeed

[Mickeyj]

Nothing worse than that thick toffee like one........

Onto Sho

@ Andydog

vegimite = jelly or jam? You Brits have such a way with words...but then again, you probably think that of us Americans, don't you?

P.S. I hate the mint one also, I like the thick toffee, but despite anything with coconut. :yuck:

No one I have ever met would out Vegemite into either group of Jelly or Jam


Vegemite dates back to 1922 when the Fred Walker Company, which became Kraft Walker in 1926 and Kraft Foods Limited in 1951, hired a young chemist to develop a spread from one of the richest known natural sources of the vitamin B group -- brewer's yeast.
Following months of laboratory tests, Dr. Cyril P. Callister, who became the nation's leading technologist of the 1920s and 1930s, developed a tasty spreadable paste.

Dr. Callister had filled his part of the contract, but Fred Walker was still to name his spread. So Walker turned to the Australian public for help and conducted a national trade-name competition, offering a tempting 50 pound prize pool for the winner or winners.

How the fifty pounds was distributed is unknown, but in 1923 Fred Walker named and launched his product under the Vegemite brand. Even though Dr Callister's invention has proved to be a formula for success, success was not instantaneous. Fred Walker persevered for 14 years before his beloved product finally gained acceptance and recognition.

When Australians first heard about Vegemite, a thick, dark English spread dominated the spread market and Australians were reluctant to try Fred Walker's locally made product. Hence, poor sales performance resulted in Vegemite being re-named -- four years after its launch -- in 1928.
