It may be the end of the line for one of Australia's most famous products tonight, after a supermarket decided to remove Vegemite from its shelves when a man complained that it tasted a bit like faeces.
The man, from England, had licked some Vegemite off a spoon, presuming it was going to have a taste similar to that of Marmite, but nothing could have been further from the truth!
Mr Mark L*wton, 41, told journalists gathered outside his home:
"It's grim. Real grim!"
Mr L*wton said that he had already been back to the supermarket where he bought the yeast extract, and that they had told him they would remove the product immediately, if indeed it did taste like shite.
Reg Bovmite, an executive at the supermarket, T*sco, told us:
"We thought it only right and proper that if one of our valued customers had an issue with a particular product, we should remove it from our shelves, especially if it tastes of faeces, although, quite how the customer knew what faeces tastes like, is unclear."
