They could have taken all sorts of inspiration for naming the “new” Vegemite. They settled on a naming convention cornered by Apple. Lame. Seriously lame. Your comments, please.

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 9:21 PMYou’re an idiot. You can’t copyright a naming convention.

Sunday, September 27, 2009 at 7:47 PMYeah, theres lots of other non-apple things with the “i”… but food???

Monday, September 28, 2009 at 8:15 PMI don’t understand how this name makes the product gay – could you please explain to me what method you used to establish this products homosexuality.

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 6:31 PMYeah, it does kinda suck…we laughed when they announced it at the MCG today live…..Could have well been Vegemite 2.0 instead of the i crap…
I don’t have a suggestion but I know I don’t like it, now to actually taste the stuff!
anyone done that?

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 6:38 PMAgreed. My eyes popped when I saw the ad. I thought for a second, “that’s gotta be a joke”. But a visit to the website confirmed it.
Very imaginative, Kraft.

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 6:38 PMSitting there watching the footy and I see the naming at quarter time. Shockingly crap!

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 6:43 PMthats a terrible name.
absolutely no relevance to what the actual product is…?
sure i dont mind the taste, but that name is painful.
Josh
Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 6:46 PMI Wonder if Copy and Paste will be part of iSnack 3.0????
Graham Baker
Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 6:53 PMThey should have called it V Snack….

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 7:10 PMI saw the ad today when it was launched and I screamed at the TV… WTF!!!

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 7:11 PMwtf! i come up with the most awesome ch-easy-mite name, and they cock it up trying to be cool for the tweens.

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 7:22 PMNot origional. Not cool. Probably not going to be a good product.
Australia should never have let the yanks buy Vegimite.

Soooooo.
Bad.

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 8:22 PMI love how they’ve decided to put real meaning into it by throwing a totally generic, utterly meaningless name on it. Even the kids I’ve spoken to think it’s ridiculous.
Jeff
Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 8:28 PMI thought this was a joke when I first saw it. Now that I know its for real its an epic Fail.
Ryan
Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 8:44 PMtrying to “appeal” to the youth? Do you think

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 9:09 PMClearly the result of a brain fart. This is what happens when the people that actually have a clue take the school holidays off on vacation.

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 9:15 PMWasnt there a competition to name it? Id hate to see the other entries if that won it.
Sam
Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 9:31 PMI can’t believe how terrible that name is.
eejbm
Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 9:44 PMvSnack 2.0 would have appeared to be the more original obvious choice,,,
matt
Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 10:10 PMLame is an understatement. I had some today and it seems all they did was take the flavour out of it. Watered it down so i’s not so shocking to your taste buds. Now, if I know companies, they like to make money, so this makes me think, less flavour equals more spread equals faster run out equals buy more. Shitheads.
owey
Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 10:11 PMsaw the add on tv….. out of princible i will not try nor will i buy or eat such a horrible sounding product i would rather chew on urinal cakes at least they are named what they are.. that is unless they start calling them i-cakes then i will use them for what there intended use is .. simply for my urine as thats all they are worth
Mael
Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 10:28 PMWell you could read it as ‘iSnack’ or you could read it as ‘iS nack’.
The later would be most appropriate especially if you look up the meaning of the word ‘nack’ in the urban Dictionary:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nack
‘Nack is a slang for penis.’
iSpenis, sounds about right.

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 10:29 PMI tried this when it was “Name Me” – for something that is made from Vegemite and Cream Cheese it tastes like… well, Vegemite and Cream Cheese. But not enough Vegemite, so I always had to add more.
Much prefer just standard Vegemite and Margarine.
Oh and yeah, the name sucks. Why does everything need an i prefixed to it because Apple is popular? Is this like the 90′s where everything had an e prefixed? What’s up next decade? o? I’ll eat some oSnack and play music on my oPod :)

Saturday, September 26, 2009 at 10:33 PMShame that one of the great Aussie icons has come to this. It’s an embarrassment to kraft and Australia.
