The humble Vegemite on toast—a breakfast staple that has divided Australians for generations.

Some prefer a light smear, while others slather it on thick.

It's a matter of personal preference, but it's also become a quirky litmus test of character.

This week, one man's hilarious reaction to his girlfriend's Vegemite toast has sparked a lively debate online.

The man shared a photo of his girlfriend's toast, generously coated with the iconic black spread.

'This is how my girlfriend likes her Vegemite…can I trust her?' he half-jokingly asked.

The image quickly went viral, with Aussies weighing in on the girlfriend's Vegemite application.

The majority of comments praised the woman's bold Vegemite choice.

'Mate, looks like she’d stand shoulder to shoulder in the trenches through the worst of it. Yeah, you can trust her,' one person wrote.

Another chimed in, saying, 'I would follow her into battle. Nothing [fazes] her, and she would go to hell and back without any fear.'

'The real question is, can she trust you? Her trustworthiness is not in doubt…'

Others labelled her 'a keeper' and urged the man to 'marry her'.

However, a few voices of caution emerged, not questioning her trustworthiness, but rather the financial implications of her Vegemite habit.

'The real question is if you can afford to sustain her Vegemite habits in this economy,' one person quipped.

This isn't the first time Vegemite consumption has sparked debate.

In 2020, actor Tom Hanks caused a stir when he posted a photo of his toast, heavily laden with Vegemite.

Many Aussies expressed concern that the American actor had overdone it with the notoriously strong-flavoured spread.

Butter with thin spread of Vegemite unless I'm having Vegemite n cheese then it's no butter.
The only cheese I will eat with it is the kraft cheddar singles

I love vita wheat crispbreads with a smear of butter, medium amount of salt reduced vegemite, lots of smashed avocado topped with sliced Bega cheese. I don't mind the Kraft slices but Bega cheese is the bomb.

Half a teaspoon of salt does the trick as well. I have a salt container next to my bed for night time leg cramps.

Magnesium is also great for cramps.

Mmaybe the poor lass is vitamin B deficient or needs more salt to help her retain water?

To Annie and Jennie, thank you. I'm organising my bedside salt right now. So much cheaper than magnesium!

Stick to magnesium enriched foods and the tablets unless your ready to have a heart attack. Better make sure you have plenty of water next to your bed. Madness.
