No, they couldn't trademark it as Cheesymite (which every sane person thought it should be named) because a bakery chain here called Baker's Delight had called one of their products that already (that is, a cheesymite scroll; vegemite and cheese in a scrolled piece of bread; a tasy alternative for a sandwich at lunch). And they weren't trying to market it to non-aussies, they were just trying to capitalise on the fact that a lot of people who eat vegemite don't just eat it straight on bread, they eat it with some cheese or butter. Thing is, one of the things vegemite is known for is its keepability, it's so salty that it keeps practically forever, and you can just chuck an open jar in the cupboard (with a lid on of course) and it's done, stored. That type of vegemite needs to be refrigerated because whatever they added (some variety of "cheese") can go rancid, so you can't take it camping. Also it didn't sell well because ISNACK 2.0 is a loving dumb name. It ended up getting renamed Cheesybite but I've not actually seen a jar of it in the shops. Apparently a third of the votes in the original competition went to "none of the above"

Yeah, Woolies' Home Brand stuff doesn't muck around. Their tomato paste is also pretty good for pureed tomatos. Nice and thick, not too oily, salty or sweet.

All the Coles (the competing supermarket chain with Woolworths; usually more expensive but has more "'premium'" goods) around here had bakeries in them before the Woolworths did. The closest Woolworths to me is in a suburb that's mainly populated by retirees and university students, but is right off a main road between the CBD and most of the residential areas to the west, making it a spot a lot of people drop in to get a bottle of milk or a loaf of bread on the way home. The prices on EVERYTHING at that shop are usually 50c dearer than the next closest shop. And the variety of different things is , along with the quality of the fresh food. That said that next closest Woolies to me is one of the nicest supermarkets I've seen so ymmv

The only thing connecting a thong to your foot is a piece of rubber / fabric which goes between your big toe and the next toe along. Also flip flop is a dumb name for thongs It's almost like the names of things can vary by geographical range and culture A "thong", as in the underwear, usually gets called a bikini bottom or a G-string here.
