I am very disappointed to find out that Kraft Canada is no longer supplying Vegemite for sale in Canada. Its been about a week since I had a bit of the black dregs of the last jar of at mum’s place. Now I’m starting to go into withdrawal. Just the thought of vegemite and butter on toast makes me start to drool. There now seems to be a black market for vegemite here in Vancouver. A local merchant is selling small jars of the black wonder for $11.95 + tax. He fedex’s them in to meet the needs of the local aussie’s who need their fix. Yesterday I baulked at the price thinking it was crazy expensive. But now as I go into the vege-dts, I’m thinking “hey, it might be worth it”. All I need is just one hit…

Addendum: This was the official response for Kraft Canada.
