From the Internet, so it has to be true:
A handful of 7 year old children were asked "what they thought of beer'.
7 year old Tim: I think beer must be good. My Dad says the more beer he drinks the prettier my Mom gets.
7 year old Melanie: Beer makes my Dad sleepy and we get to watch what we want on TV when he is asleep, so beer is nice
7 year old Grady: My Mom and Dad both drink beer. My Mom gets funny when she drinks it and takes her top off at parties, but Dad doesn't think this is funny.
7 year old Toby: My Mom and Dad talk funny when they drink beer and the more they drink the more they give kisses to each other which is a good thing.
7 year old Sarah: My Dad gets funny on beer. He is funny. He also wets his pants sometimes, so he shouldn't have too much.
7 year old Lilly: My Dad loves beer. The more he drinks the better he dances. One time he danced right into the pool.
7 year old Ethan: I don't like beer very much. Every time Dad drinks it he burns the burgers on the barbecue and they taste disgusting.
7 year old Shirley: I give Dad's beer to the dog and he goes to sleep.
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I do not know about the internet, but that one happened in my house, me sitting at the table... I had to walk out not to laugh in his face, as it was obvious how serious he is about the subject...

My daughter was five, or maybe just turned six (here, kids don't start school until the year they turn six), when she came home from kindergarten declaring "Today I broke up with Bjørn Tore!". (Bjørn Tore was half a year younger.)
Later she denied having said that, but in this case my memory is better than hers.

I clearly remember telling my folks at the age of 7 I wasn't going to get married. People thought I was being cute. I was pretty serious.
4 decades later I still have no doubt that was the right choice. Especially the more I talk to my divorced friends, and those who are still together but really ought not to be. I can't count the number of times I've heard "I envy you"--often coming from the very same people who used to refer to me as "that loner kid who prefers to be on his own".

Well, I'm back from a short cruise over the Christmas break. Well okay, I traveled half way around the world to see the annular solar eclipse on Dec 26 on a cruise out of Singapore. Never mind that. One day at breakfast, I saw something I'd never seen before in North America, called "Vegemite". I saw some other people putting it on either bread or toast or an English muffin. I'm adventurous. I tried a little bit on some bread and Holy @#$% :gag: :choke: :spurtle:! What a way to ruin my day!
Where did this stuff come from? The Wikipedia article claims that millions of people eat the stuff every day. I just can't fathom that.
Can somebody please explain a few things
- How did something this awful make it to a commercial product in the first place?
- Who buys this stuff? (On purpose I mean)
- How did it get popular enough that it made money and got sold to several companies that each made a profit on it?
- Why is it still a product now?
- Does it have any other unstated non-food uses? For example, making turpentine taste worse? Keeping rabbits out of your lettuce patch? Keeping the neighbor's dog from urinating on your shrubs? Insect repellent? Rust prevention? Shoe polish? Floor cleaner?
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

The Fosters beer company had this vile black substance left after brewing beer. Someone decided to put it in jars. Yes, it's still a product. It's halal certified, that's the only real controversy around it in Australia. Because people are f***ing stupid.
When I first travelled to America, I took over some Aussie goods. Everyone loved Tim Tams. Everyone hated Vegemite. I can't stand it myself. I think people who are fed it as kids, develop a tolerance and love it as adults. Which I think is a form of institutional abuse.

It's very much an acquired taste, with parents starting the kids very early on it. Here in NZ we have marmite which is a local variety (different to English marmite), but personally I prefer the Aussie Vegemite.
Once you acquire the taste it becomes a staple for toast and in particular heavy grainy bread toast. Breakfast this morning was Vegemite on Vogel bread toast. A true local delight.
At the end of the day it's no different from any other locally acquired tastes. Otherwise who would eat a lot of other weird stuff like caviar etc

It comes from Satan's own backside, is bottled and shipped worldwide, where you will find it under the names of ![Good Stuff | [The good stuff]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/vegemite.gif) and also "Marmite".
Both are identical, vile industrial waste packaged for sale to the gullible. Some love it - my sister used to put it on toast, then put the toast back under the grill to stink up the whole house.
It's a yeast extract with loads of vitamins added, and it's probably those that make it takes like cow flop mixed with nuclear waste, since I like yeast in both of its "primary forms": bread and ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

I'm told by people who have a tolerance that the two products are similar, but different.

Since you didn't like Vegemite, maybe give Marmite a go
Vegemite doesn't quite have the richness in flavour that Marmite has.
Marmite on heavily buttered thick wholegrain toast is real treat.

Personally I like Promite as a toast additive. Great Barrier Reef management experimented at injecting it into crown of thorns starfish (a coral eating pest) for a while, killed them stone dead.

So I got a couple of bob stickers as a booby prize for one of my articles.
But on the website Bob is a skinny lil green thang.
The stickers I got of him in the mail have him quite portly by comparison.
Someone's aspect ratio got twisted, or bob should maybe get some exercise.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

It's tides. The stickers wax and wane in concert with the moons of his home world. We don't have the technology to do that with PNG files.

Only if you pre-program them for the whole cycle, and with 13.47 moons and a Dyson Sphere to work on that not really practical. You need a quantum processor with nanoparticle printing tech to do it properly, just like the stickers do.

Silly man! Just slap one of the stickers on the webserver, and then use the API it exposes!

My webserver doesn't support quantum entangled data, or an LCARS interface compatible protocol driver. Sadly.
I'm trying to buy one on Amazon, but delivery is a problem with ZZ9PluralZα postcode. Even with Prime.
