Marmite and Vegemite are almost-but-not-quite the same; I like Marmite but not Vegemite the one time I gave it a go (but then I am not Australian). I did see some online discussion to the effect that Vegemite-lovers were more likely to tolerate Marmite than vice versa. In the UK Marmite's advertising campaign is based on the fact that some people love it and some find it disgusting (eg a TV ad - girl likes Marmite, unsuspecting new boyfriend kisses her, can't stand the stuff, retches: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHbpTrFPc7Y . There's another where a breast-feeding mum eats some Marmite, baby is violently sick on her). Does that work for Vegemite too? But do you like Marmite?

I often get asked weird questions because I'm a triplet. "Are you guys... related?" (In front of all three of us, and we're IDENTICAL.) -"No, we're twins, and the other one is adopted." "When's your birthday?" They ask this to each one of us. They never catch on. I love the bonus questions!
