"The border guard searched our car and asked us if we were carrying any Vegemite," Mr Fogarty said.

We have terrorists trying to smuggle in weapons, dirty bombs, WMD, we have druglords smuggling in tons of illegal hallucinogen drugs, we have millions of illegal immigrants coming across the border and border security is spending time and effort to stop people from bringing in vegetable exract.
"Vegemite dates back to 1922 when the Fred Walker Company, which became Kraft Walker Foods in 1926 and Kraft Foods Limited in 1950, hired a young chemist to develop a spread from one of the richest known natural sources of the vitamin B group - Brewers Yeast.
Following months of laboratory tests, Dr. Cyril P Callister, who became the nation’s leading food technologist of the 1920s and 30s developed a tasty spreadable paste. It came in a two ounce (57g) amber glass jar capped with a Phoenix seal with the label "Pure Vegetable Extract".

The problem was Dr. Callister was murdered before he could record the formula, and it was lost forever. So Kraft released Vegamite instead, which was originally designed as an industrial spackle."
