You can generally find it in the 'ethnic' food sections of even major
mainstream grocery stores...sometimes even with stuff like peanut butter.

I don't know offhand what it's actually composed of, but I found it to be a
very unpleasant, bitter, spread of some sort. I suppose it's an acquired
taste.

Hmm...now how to bring this back on topic... Grocery stores in 2060? Pop
culture in 2060? Globalization of culture in 2060?

In 2060? Vegemite is the god-forsaken slime that will allow Vampires to
enter the world of daylight and to enslave the entire human race
(ingested or slathered on like sunscreen). Vegemite is the evil
sacrificial material that the Azzies will use to rebuild the bridge to
allow the Horrors to penetrate our world. Vegemite is the brains behind
the Atlantean conspiracy. Vegemite controls the immortal elves. Vegemite
pulls the strings of the dragon puppetmasters, thus controlling both the
Yakuza and the Triads. Vegemite created the AIs. Vegemite allowed Damien
Knight to pull of the Nanosecond Buyout. Vegemite caused the crash of
2029. Vegemite is being studied by Winternight scientists as an
alternative to nuclear bombs. Vegemite summoned the bug spirits.
Vegemite killed Dunkelzahn.

Vegemite has just been elected for its second term as the President of
the CAS.

flamethrower. "Join me, in my quest to rid the world of the foul stain
of Vegemite and its diabolical creators! Join me in...the Vegedeath
Brigade (TM)!!!"

I take it, then, that what you're saying, is you sort of dislike vegemite? ;)

And, on a related OT topic, did Nostradamus have anything to say about
vegemite?
