Same here with the Marmite brigade... Mymate = Marmite.. I am a marmite lover all my life and I think that they are exactly the same..
Mind you, I am still Old Skool and think that they have weakened Marmite in the UK over the years.. I remember the time when a jar would last about 6 months in the cupboard and if you spread more than a tiny drop on to your toast, it would take your head off..:lol: Em x |

Just as an aside, when I was working in a youth hostel (er, back in my youth, so millennia ago) a bunch of the staff decided to do a taste test with Marmite and Vegemite (both purchased from a local Safeway in Canada) to see which one was the preferred one of people who normally wouldn't touch the stuff. It was something to do on a slow afternoon and might quiet the yeast-based spread rivalry between the Aussies and Brits for a day. So, we made toast, passed around samples to Canadians, Germans, and a Japanese backpacker or two (Aussies and Brits were not allowed to partake, obviously). The verdict...the Marmite won. But that was a dubious distinction as most of the tasters said, "Can I pick neither?"

I did find some funny things that go under a same name but mean something totally different here tho. Here they sell Up & Go as a breakfast product, in NL it is a diaper (nappy-pants). Oh and the peanut butter sucks. I know that dutchies like a very different kind of peanut butter (no sugar, all peanuts and a little salt, peanuts are roasted a bit more which gives the peanutbutter a nice nutty taste). I used to buy the health section 100% peanuts peanutbutter, but unfortunately last month they took it out of the asortment so that will require some shopping around. Sylvia |

Bandaids instead of plasters or elastoplast.
'Tasty' is a type of cheese, not necessarily a description. |

'Tasty' is a type of cheese, not necessarily a description. Cheddar cheese comes mainly in Mild, Tasty And Vintage Styles. Those are the common three that you will find on the Supermarket shelf.
We have Bandaids and Elastoplast here. http://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/i...993/150_CW.jpg Bandaid at www.chemistaustralia.com.au http://www.elastoplast.com.au/riot-u...90/plastic.jpg Elastoplast at http://www.elastoplast.com.au |

Not this one. Weetabix and Weet-Bix are made by two different companies (Weetabix Ltd and Sanitarium respectively).
Weet-Bix is the original product, invented in NSW during the 1920s. Its Australian inventors started a new company for distribution in Britain during the 1930s, where their product was rebadged as "Weetabix". Consequently, both products are Australian in origin. There's not much to choose between them, but Weetabix seem to be smaller and sweeter. Also, given that Britain gave law and order, the Justice System, architecture, about 90% of the place-names and AC-DC to Australia I can't help thinking that we've been short-changed when you think that all Australia has given us in return is Weet-Bix? |

I think the advertising slogan for Weet-Bix should really be changed to "Weetbix - A cereal that punches well above it's weight!".
