The weather is heating up and what better way to cool down than with a Vegemite icy pole? Wait, WTF? Vegemite in an icy pole?
Yes, apparently that’s a thing now. The iconic Aussie brand basically broke Twitter announcing the news.
Vegemite posted an image of an icy pole with the caption: “Brace yourselves Australia… it’s time for VEGEMITE Icy Poles! #Chilled

Vegemite confirmed that this latest taste sensation is definitely not a joke, but also not a new product launch either. See the full vegemite icy pole recipe here on Mum’s Pantry!
But that didn’t stop the love it or hate it Twitter debate from raging on, with the post receiving over 1000 likes and nearly 700 comments.

Read this to my 7yo old: look of disbelief followed by ‘ewwww’. He also says ‘Vegemite is for toast. Please don’t make Vegemite icy poles.’

But as per usual, the rest of the world were absolutely aghast at our Aussie obsession.
