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.
I 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.
Lame 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.
saw 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
I 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 :)

Agreed. 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.

Well 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.
