Vegemite vs Marmite

To the culturally deprived, Vegemite is the Australian version of Marmite, a fact that displeases those who insist on the real thing:

12. What are Vegemite, Promite, Bovril and Yeast Extract?

Answer: They are not Marmite in any way or form.
Vegemite is an Australian product, manufactured by Kraft Foods Ltd, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and is generally described by Marmite fans as a weaker version spread than British-produced Marmite—I can personally back this statement up. Vegemite fans have claimed that it is stronger than some non British-produced Marmite, but that doesn't say much for that "Marmite".
Its ingredients are:

* Yeast Extract
* Salt
* Caramel
* Malt Extract
* Natural Flavor
