Default Canada bans Marmite

Canadian Food Inspection Agency has banned the sale of Marmite, Irn-Bru & Penguin bars. I wonder what planet these people are from.

What's next? Vegemite?

Slow day at the office so someone had to justify their employment.

Some idiot probably thinks Penguin bars are made from an endangered species

Vegemite has disappeared of the shelves of my local supermarket, not sure why, but have had to resort to Marmite .......ughhh.

Whereas Vegemite .... MMMMMMMM!!!!

Tried Vegemite on a few Americans: they think Australian mothers should be charged with child cruelty for giving it to their kids!!!

Lucky for me the local World Market has it from time to time, so with that, plus the occasional 'care package' from friends in Australia, I can keep supplied. Now Bundaberg Rum, however, is a whole different story. Just cannot get it here in the US of A.
