96 years young - Happy birthday Vegemite!

Hitting shelves in 1923, Fred Walker Company (now Kraft Food Company) spent almost a year perfecting the formula we know today as the trusty Aussie favourite Vegemite.

 

Originally labelled as ‘Pure Vegetable Extract’ the loved red and yellow label it now a household staple.

 

Take a look at Vegemite’s first TV commercial.

 

Original Vegemite Commercial

From being a hot commodity during WWII and being rationed to the unofficial national anthem Happy Little Vegemites, the spread has a part in every Aussie’s Heart.

Over the year’s families have shared their favourite ways to eat this delicious spread with many ways certainly turning heads.
