Vegemite Toast Is Causing Uproar Among Athletes And Australians Are Curious To Know The Heck Spread It On The Toast

Australia is known for many delicacies — Tim Tams, Fairy Bread and of course, Vegemite.

The beloved spread is one of the most popular things for visitors to try in Australia and let’s just say its taste is not always well received. However, Vegemite lovers (AKA Aussies) will tell you for free that if you hate it, you’re not making it the correct way!

The same sentiment was repeatedly brought up in the comments of a video posted to TikTok by Canadian football team, the Toronto Argonauts. In the video, the players are seen trying Vegemite spread onto toast and the team’s reactions are…well, not good.

The first set of players to try the Aussie classic, looked at each other with less-than-pleased looks on their faces. Wide receiver Justin Marshall even walked away laughing while Makai Polk stood there, unimpressed.

The next group of teammates walked by, picking up the toast curiously. In the background one said, “Hey, I tried it. It [was] disgusting.” DaVaris Daniels couldn’t even finish his bite.

Argonauts defensive back, Quincy Mauger took the opportunity to express his disdain with the viral “Brother ewwww” meme, originally spoken by Sydney-based preacher, Mohamed Hobolos.

The remainder of the team continued with a range of reactions — spitting the toast out, comparing the look of the toast to Nutella and even some compliments. But the difference in reactions bubbled down to the amount of Vegemite that was spread across the bread. Let’s compare:

In this snippet with a negative reaction, you can see the colour of the Vegemite is very vivid — meaning it was layered on quite thickly.

Whereas in this clip, you can see how thinly they’ve spread the Vegemite onto the bread.

While the other player spread the toast with a thin layer, Australian-born punter John Haggarty said to his teammates, “It’s gonna be the best thing you’ve ever eaten.” Look how happy he is after they heeded his advice:

Haggarty knows that, even without butter available, this is the correct way to eat this combo — a light layer always, especially if you’re a beginner. As for the otherrrr way that the initial pieces of toast were lathered in Vegemite, video viewers shared their thoughts in the comments:

Which begs the question: WHO MADE THE TOAST?
