Vegemite Brownies at Woolworths: Is it a fun treat or an ‘abomination’?
- Replies 24
Whether you’re a fan of Vegemite, Tim Tams, Chiko Rolls or any other Aussie snack, there’s no questioning that Australians have a knack for creating big, bold flavours!
That’s why one woman was utterly shocked when she stumbled upon an item in her local Woolworths that sounded much too out there.
But what made this Sydney-sider do a double take?
It’s the Green’s Vegemite Choc Chunk Brownies.
She exclaimed in a video, ‘Guys, I'm f***ing disgusted right now. Look at this abomination I found’.
'What did I just find?!' the video's caption reads, which has subsequently garnered more than 171,000 views on social media.
She added: ‘What do you mean Vegemite brownies? This will taste like the devil’s a******. What the f*** is that?’
You can watch her full reaction here:
As for the comments about the brownie concoction, let’s just say it was a mixed bag.
'Australia is becoming more Aussie now,' one wrote in the comment section, while another exclaimed, 'I love Vegemite, but WHAT?'
‘They’ve taken it too far this time,’ one user said about the brownie concoction.
But there were also those in the audience who praised the combination as a 'salty and sweet' treat worth trying.
'Vegemite brownies are actually so good, though! Try it first!' Someone else bravely answered.
'I was like that when I saw it, but you can barely taste the Vegemite,' another added.
One user even dared the woman to taste it, saying, ‘I dare you to try it’.
Green’s Baking Australia launched these brownie mix bags in partnership with Vegemite in March of this year and became available in that same month in Coles, and Woolworths followed suit in April.
When we broke the news early this year, some of our dear members had something to say about this treat.
Member @Ricci commented: ‘I love vegemite, I like chocolate brownies but I think my tummy would revolt if I tried to mix the two.’
Member @terri said that ‘Vegemite should just stick to its intended use. Hot buttery toast and cheese and vegemite sandwiches.’
Described on Green’s website as a 'decadent and delicious' treat, the company noted that their product could be considered a strange combination to some, but the brownies were well worth trying.
So, members, what do you make of this combination? Is it a daring snack that’s worth a try for something new or a culinary catastrophe you’d rather leave off your menu?
Let us know what you think in the comments—we would love to read your opinion!
