Vegemite & Butter Worms​

Who remembers the classic Vita-Weat commercial from the ‘80s? The catchy jingle and the sight of that young boy creating Vegemite and butter ‘worms’ with his Vita-Weat biscuits? The fun of watching those curly worms grow longer and longer until they met their delicious fate with a lick of the tongue. Aussie kids had these just about every day. Do you have fond memories of this ultimate after-school snacking ritual?

Yes I remember the Vita-Weat butter worms...yuuuum gooood. Also the way butter and golden syrup sogged out the bottom of warm crumpets. Also the way Sunbeam fry pans made THE flattest and crunchiest toasted sandwiches. Also the way some bikkies fell into your cuppa if you weren't quick enough after dunking.

I well remember and seeing the vegemite and butter squeezing out the holes in the vita wheat always made the skin on my head crawl, and seeing your picture still did it to me. Some things just make me shudder. Mind you, I used to enjoy eating them.
