iSnack 2.0
That's the name you will see when you're at your local supermarket, browsing for a jar of the new Vegemite.
Any thoughts on this i-prefix business?
Awesome name? Catchy name? Ridiculous name? Is it the key to expanding the Vegemite audience?

It's iRidiculous.
-
We're happy little iSnack2.0's as bright as bright can be, we all enjoy our iSnack2.0 for breakfast lunch and tea..
-
Unimaginative crap.
-
Will be interested to see how much of a fuss Apple makes about the name.
Also, worst name ever (or is that the plan to get publicity)
-
It's absolutely horrible. I hope Apple sues them.....
-
After 40000 entries that is the best they came up with?
-
It was voted on by the Australian public wasn't it? I guess there's a moral to this story if so. iFail would've been much more appropriate at this rate.
-
hmm I've never had Vegemite.
anyway.
-
worst name
-
Have you read the comments on that article though? Some of them are absolutely hilarious.
"How unAustralian. You might as well call a kangaroo iHop"
-
How does iSnack 2.0 relate to vegemite :o
-
It was voted on by the Australian public wasn't it?
No, the Australian public suggested names on the website from which board members chose a name.
-
iFail 2.0 would be the best
-
bad name, suits a bad product :crazy2:
btw. the whole "i" thing is sorta going weird, and becoming boring. We have sort of come to accept anything with "i" as something techological, or something got to do with apple, now its being ripped off for a range of stuff.
-
That name makes me want to upload from my intestinet.
HAHAHAAHHA.
-
Absolute shocker of a name, they couldn't have done worse if they tried.
-
tastes terrible, hopefully they'll update that in iSnack 2.0.1
-
i dont like vegemite so i probably wont like this new one either and yeah i agree, shit name
-
lol, as my friend elegantly put it
vaginamite.

Meet the new "isnack"!
This cool new invention can't play songs, can't play videos, can't make phone calls and can't go on the Internet, but, it will give you a belly ache to remember.
Not that I have tried this but it sounded cool.

haha, i was right. This extract from The Age
''They are taking the 'i' that is associated with the iPod and 2.0, which is a term for the web. So what does any of that have to do with a food product?''<<<exactly what I was trying to get across.

It appeals to the younger generation.
But it still won't make me buy it.
-
Doesn't appeal to the younger generation at all. It even goes further, people hate it for trying to so explicitly appeal to our generation.

hahaha in that article it said....
"ABC News Online readers mocked the new name earlier this week, with one person saying they should have just called it "Vegeshite". LOL
Why didn't us VCE Noters think of THAT.

It is when you pair it with a spoon. And no, I did not factor in the sense of taste in proposing this alternative, but my point is still valid.
-
they're changing the name! in a few months ... up again for a vote...

Ick, nast. This isn't nutella. D: But then again, it's funny when people who know nothing about vegemite first taste it by spreading copious amounts of bread/crackers.

*puts hand up* I thought it was going to taste like Nutella ...... :'(
-
LMAO, if u ate it, u woudla gotten a REAL shocker, ROFL! Makes u scared to ever try nutella again!
-
hahaha we had exchange students from japan who'd never tasted vegemite before - we gave them crackers with a thin spread of vegemite on top, to which they replied, "mm, delicious!".. however when we got back to our classroom, they all congregated together and you could hear in japanese, "that vegemite tasted so bad!"
i've always wondered why most foreigners don't seem to like it much. perhaps it's an acquired taste
-
jhahahaah, that's really well mannered of them!
-
i've always wondered why most foreigners don't seem to like it much. perhaps it's an acquired taste
I don't think there is much wondering required to understand why foreigners don't like it.

Much more appropriate. I still believe the first name was just a publicity stunt though.
-
I guess it could have been?
At first i said as if! But if you think about it,
the name was chosen by people (so designer doesnt get paid thousands)
the isnack2.0 is still being sold until they run out (so they don't lose thousands in profits)
-
I still like The 7pm Show's recommendation better:
"Voldemite - The spread that should not be named"

hahahah. I heard it on last night!!! Good one!
-
While the name was terrible, what's worse is that Kraft expects you to eat Vegemite with cheese FROM A JAR. A jar!

I've always thought it's one of those things you have to grow up on to like. Thus foreigners find it disgusting.

As a foreigner, I actually quite like the taste!

As a foreigner, I hate it, yet my brother likes it!
Moral of the story: don't generalise :P
-
No surprise that the skip girl likes her Vegemite :)
Haven't tried this new one though...

Woo Vegemite on toast every single morning thank you very much!
Also, who has actually tried the new one? Is there a verdict? I've heard so much talk about the name but little on the actual taste.

It's a bad name and they should feel bad. in fact they should die in hole. stupid goths
