Well, I might have done given a bit of time, but after my initial
iconoclastic reaction, I realised that Vegemite is a US company & US brand
after all, so it's only the standard, sad case of the US shooting its own
best interests in the foot, hardly worth even a raised eyebrow.


Despairingly yours,

Don't despair dear Tadpole.

Look at it as the US simply reciprocating, not to be confused with
vacillating.

Vegemite is to Australians as guns are to Americans.

We can't take our guns to your country.

You can't take that viscuous laxative here.

With that arrangement how can anyone be shot in the foot?




Ahem. At the risk of repeating myself, Kraft Foods & Vegemite brand are
entirely US-owned. Is denying a multitude of Australian expatriates in
the US their daily vitamin B & folate fix worth the loss of sales
revenue? Anyway, re the US guns; on my last recent run through Woomera,
there were American guns everywhere!
