Yep. Vegemite is no longer legal in the U.S. They're confiscating it at customs.

I can see it now:
"Do you have any guns?"
"No"
"Knives?"
"No"
"Explosives?"
"No"
"Vegemite?"
"uh...."

:lol:

"I was flabbergasted." Paul Watkins, who owns a store called About Australia in San Antonio, Texas, said he had been forced to stop importing Vegemite six months ago.

I went to that store a few years ago and bought some vegemite.... :lmao:

This doesn't really affect me.. but I feel sorry for all the aussies who live here and can't eat their vegemite.
